Hello everyone! This is Becky with this weeks indie update.

I am extremely excited this week because we got the new Neon Indian album Era Extrana. I've heard of Neon Indian before, but I've only really heard a few songs. I was a little skeptical when the first song, "Heart: Attack" came on. The instrumental intro had great sound but I wasn't entirely sure where it was going. I was pleasantly surprised when the next song, "Polish Girl" started playing. The vocals are smooth and make you want to hear more. If you're into stellar synths and awesome melody this album is for you.

On another note Four Years Strong has a new album called In Some Way, Shape, or Form. Although it doesn't sound like the Four Years Strong everyone fell in love with, the new album has a lot of depth. They don't let the emotion in the album affect the playful tone, which I think is great. Old fans might not be pumped at first but I think this album will grow on everyone.
