Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

Manchester Post-Punk

Before the baggy trousers: basslines, empty space, and a city building its own outlets.

Athens, GA

Art-school kids in a college town inventing American indie rock in rented houses, one party at a time.

Gothenburg Indie Pop

Swedish rain-city pop played like a beach rave: sampled strings, pitched vocals, fake-sunset synths, no guitars allowed.
