The Diggs – Careen
In my head, The Diggs are one of the definitive indie bands. They play the kind of music I’d expect to hear on any indie or alternative radio station. The music is upbeat yet has some dark undertones, none of it’s too flashy and it’s all rather efficient. Of course, it’s inoffensive too, giving it a nice yet throwaway vibe to it all.
The only problem in this theory is that my head doesn’t quite match up with reality. This is a country where the “indie” chart contains Adele, The Last Shadow Puppets and Travis. All this really does is make bands like The Diggs seem far better than they have any right to be. Only in an ideal world would this be average music. In this one, it’s a hell of a lot better than most things we’re subjected to.
