Same, I spun records (LOL) in college and when anyone called it was landmark, because pretty much no one ever did. Back then I thought it was because everyone was too stoned call, but now I know that no one was listening. Sobering.
Terrible.
The girl-fronted New Zealand band I like is actually Fazerdaze. Just one album so far, but it's a shoegaze beauty.
Is this a synth-pop/new wave fan base? I was into TNAF a bit at the start, I think when I did year end lists they made it, but the local radio station (104.5) that thinks they play alternative music kind of ditched them (like they did Chvrches) and the indie side didn't really take so I didn't keep up as much with them.
The Naked And Famous are low-key one of the most solid acts of the last decade. Not as reliably solid as CHVRCHES, but at their peak easily matched them. Also more traditional rock with beep-boop elements than straight up beep-boop music. They have a strong Fleetwood Mac element in terms of the relationship between the two primary songwriters being fraught with difficulty, and it's both cool and awkward that they'd flat out write songs at each other and collaborate. Though The Mess is a damned great break-up song resulting from it. Probably a major reason why the band fizzled and split. Not exactly a great environment. Plus, female singers rule and have overall been the strongest band fronts over men for a while now. The particular one is definitely up Tiger Pants' alley.
The "writing of songs at each other" examples:

I just ordered the new Japanese Breakfast and Wolf Alice albums on vinyl and I will be getting the new CHVCHES too when it comes out in August. Females are running shit right now.
Someone promising who I haven't seen anything at all from after having a big single on a solid album is Elle King.
(That is not the single in question but I like it more anyway)
From back when banjo rock was weirdly a thing for a second.
Fun fact that you may already know, she is Rob Schneider's daughter lol
I didn't know that and now she pisses me off.
Except not, because she hasn't leaned on that name or anything.
Then again, how hard can you really lean on it?
You pose some interesting questions here.

Subsonic EyeWhat was the name of the indie band from Singapore that someone posted a few weeks ago?
