New to the scene, still compelling

There seems to be a stereotype that Indie music is depressing music. Now I can't argue that some Indie music is, Death Cab For Cutie for one can go in that direction. I want to talk about two artists who do not have depressing music, and I think are worth watching in the future. They have promise, and it's upbeat happy promise. Now how can anybody argue with that? While Tim Myers and Katie Costello (check them out at the iTunes Store) came out are newcomers to the Indie music scene, I already love their music. Myers released an EP called The Good Life (5 tracks) and Revolution in January 2008 along with a few singles
throughout last year, including "The Lucky Ones" which is an incredibly catchy song. There is a song called "The Lucky One" by Alison Krauss & Union Station, but the two songs are not alike. Katie Costello came out with Kaleidoscope Machine in November 2008, and all I have to say is: Oh My God. I love the title track, "I Can't Fix Us Two," "Shadow Love," and "City Lights." Costello's voice stays with you long after you are done listening to the album, and (at least for me) I want to go back and listen to it again. That's saying something because there's a reason I want to go back. Superficial music might be good on a first listening but not after that. That is not the case here. She's the real thing. So Tim Myers and Katie Costello, I hope you keep on making great music as new energentic voices in the Indie music scene. When you do, I'll be sure to listen.
