indie rock cafe

One of the great things about collecting lots of indie music over the years is that you can create all kinds of lists. Our collection contains thousands of songs in dozens and dozens of different kinds of playlists. Everything from great songs about colors, names and places to genre-specific mixes of pop, rock and jazz.

Today's theme kicks off another playlist series. This one features songs from some of the best, but largely overlooked and under appreciated, debut indie albums of all time.

Songs featured in this playlist installment include killer tracks from 1980's post punk group 14 Iced Bears, LA's indie pop outfit Western States Motel, South Dakota singer/songwriter Nick Thomas as The Spill Canvas, the mysterious solo act Moco Nell and the remarkable debut from Robert Smith sound-alike Matt Pond PA.

"Green Grass" by Matt Pond PA from Measure

"The Night Will Go As Follows" by The Spill Canvas from Sunsets and Car Crashes

"Powerlines" by Western States Motel from Western States Motel

"In Your Foreign Land" by Moco Nell from Culture Reject

"Like A Dolphin" by 14 Iced Bears from In The Beginning
