The Scoop:
If you are looking for a fun Indie Electronic band with weird music videos, then look no further. This band is a delight to listen to and they have a very cool and interesting groove. I only listen to a handful of their songs on a regular basis but they are fantastic. I highly suggest listening to some of the tracks linked below.

Sarah Jaffe
History:
Sarah Jaffe is an indie artist from Red Oak, Texas. Her first EP Even Born Again was released in 2008 and gained recognition from both Rolling Stone magazine and the Dallas Observer. She has continued to release albums since then and has another one called Bad Baby that has just recently released.
The Scoop:
I genuinely enjoy both Sarah's first and second albums. The first one was a little underproduced due to budget but had a lot of heart. Her second album Suburban Nature is my favorite. It has a nice acoustic vibe with added violin for some really powerful moments. This is produced well, has good sound quality, and a lot of meaning put into it. After these two albums it kind of falls of in my opinion. Sarah Jaffe's music got more electric and "synthy" if that makes any sense. Her more recent albums sound like mainstream pop instead of the lyrical indie music I enjoyed listening to in her first two albums. I have listened to her full discography and the albums titled The Body Wins, Don't Disconnect, Bad Baby, and Visions are very dissimilar from her early work, so much so that you can hardly tell it's the same artist.
I have linked the full Suburban Nature album below.
EDIT: I believe Sarah's record label removed the video I linked due to copyright violation after they saw my post. My point still stands though please look up the songs individually if you have to. It's good stuff!
