I just discovered a 'new' band for the first time in ages.
Fontaines D.C.

I've long been of the opinion that indie rock is dead. Even when I've asked younger people to recommend bands, they don't come up with much. The 2000's was really the last decade that produced a lot of quality indie music and even then it was in decline. IMO, Chappell Roan is the most relevant new artist in the last few years and she's a pop star.
Fontaines D.C. is not that new. They are already on their fourth album but they recently came to my attention with this crazy song. The singer Grian Chatten says that it's about having a panic attack but it also seems to be about the chaos and confusion of modern life in general.
They have a lot of other great songs too. It's usually more low-key than Starburster. They are an Irish band who formed in Dublin City (D.C.) over their shared love of poetry and you can kind of hear it in the lyrics. Their music is a mixture of poetry, post-punk guitar music and hip-hop. It's genuinely like nothing I've heard before. The lyrics are one of this band's strengths. You won't always understand ithem but then you are not meant to and that is a good thing.
