Modest Mouse, though signed to a major record label, is often seen as an indie band. This is mostly due to their sound as a band, which sometimes includes banjos, cellos, and is consistently awesome.
If you haven't heard of Modest Mouse, I highly recommend that you check them out. It would be especially worth your time if you are into the newer Red Hot Chili Peppers albums, as well as indie music.
Lately I have had "Parting of the Sensory" stuck in my head. The song is off of the album We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank. (Track 5)
I really enjoy the song because of how intensely it is driven. Like many of Modest Mouse songs, the song builds extremely well into its climax. The drummer, Jeremiah Green, does an excellent job of providing a driving pulse throughout the song.
I don't want to give away the song structure if you haven't heard it. Besides, I don't have the vocabulary to covey the same emotions anyway.
