Sheesh, what an exhausting, vacuous, and frankly racist screed. If there was a point, I don't think that this would be the article to make it. Thankfully though it did introduce me to a new indie artist I hadn't heard of.

Who? Belle and Sebastian ? There are other pale UK bands if that's your thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKNt_qq6N7o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKNt_qq6N7o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKcbSOjIzjQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKcbSOjIzjQ

  Dirty Projectors, one of probably many pale UK bands that I haven't dug into. Belle and Sebastian aren't generally my vibe for some reason, but I think do have a few songs I get on my Spotify radio from time to time

    Ah, cheers for clearing that up :-) I went through The Unbearable Whiteness of Indie article trying to guess your reference - B&S got the greatest wordcount IIRC. Can't say I've heard of Dirty Projectors and their "use of attenuated 'afro' elements" - I'll chase it up, but often I prefer to see some back wash on the culture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOValSt7YOY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOValSt7YOY https://youtu.be/tvY31eN3gtE?t=41 https://youtu.be/tvY31eN3gtE?t=41

    Dirty Projectors are a US band (from Brooklyn).

      Oh ya I guess that was a simple inference mistake based on what they asked.

        definitely worth a listen, saw them live around the time of Bitte Orca and they were incredible!
