Doris Henson "Give Me All Your Money" – Indie rockers from the midwest with some nice, well, indie rock. Layered guitars, solid bass and drums, the occasional trombone, and lots of male vocal layers. The harmonies are often really nice and the horn is a fun extra. Guitars sometimes have a washed-out sound and drone. My only complaint is that the production is a little too slick. It sometimes gets boring. Nothing on here will blow you away, but it's generally some nice simple indie rock with both pop and rock flavor.
My Picks: 7, 9, 11

1)Starts with a teacher or someone showing people a bee. Then weird horns that sound like bees in your ears. Drops into a fast midtempo indie rock song. Lush and full. Nice full guitars with the horn/bees used a lot.
2)Fast midtempo to uptempo. Dark and brooding. Simple indie guitar layers and horns. Nice vocal harmonies.
3)Slower guitar ramblings. Drums come in along with more guitars to a slow midtempo almost dragging beat.
4)Simple guitar strumming. More instruments slowly fade in, including the horn. A bit more cute. Solid midtempo.
5)Odd vocal start. Goes into an uptempo driving beat. Male vocal layers.
6)Slowly fades in with drones. Vocals come in layered, then guitar and a slow drum beat. Eventually falls into a slower midtempo beat. Builds to a guitar solo with horn behind then back to the song.
7)Builds with guitar and drums going kind of crazy and male vocals in the background saying something. Comes into an off-kilter midtempo beat with droning and monotone vocals. A bit dark. Lightens up at times.
8)Solid midtempo beat. Heavier bass keeps it a little dark. Soft male vocals. That horn/bee sound comes back.
9)Uptempo driving beat. Nice solid guitar line with horn arrangements on top.
10)A bit more rock feel to the guitars. Solid midtempo. Monotone male vocals.
11)Light and cute feeling. Solid midtempo. Simple and kind of minimal. Nice.
12)Starts with quiet drums and guitar. Slowly builds up with vocals. Slow midtempo and soft. Really pretty. Last 1:30 is just birds chirping.
