Amazon is pushing the indie market pretty hard these days. First they came out with their top 100 indie bands of all time and the proverbial feces hit the fan. Now they have 50 editor picked albums that are on sale for $5.00 digital download and let me tell you there are some great indie artists on this list. This isn’t like going to Wal-Mart and shuffling through the Bargain Bin, these are some truly great finds.
El Grupo Nuevo de Omar Rodrigues Lopez – Cryptomnesia
Bon Iver – For Emma, Forever Ago
Deer Tick – War Elephant
John Vanderslice – Romanian Names
Dan Deacon – Bromst
Bishop Allen – Grrr…
Antony and The Johnsons – The Crying Light
Other Lives – Other Live
Jeff Buckley & Gary Lucas – Songs To No One
If you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to pick up these albums then the time has arrived.
