Here's a band I just thought about for the first time in a while — one of the more tasteful meldings of indie rock and non-Western sounds, though I guess I usually go for weirder efforts. This species of indie rock recalls the comfy propulsive drone of the American Analog Set. Which means that the hammer dulcimer doesn't really mesh with that DNA, but it least it doesn't clash. The effect is like traveling in the Far East and trying on local clothes that make you look neither convincingly local nor cluelessly foreign. Which is not really bad ground to occupy. (OK, maybe 'occupation' isn't the best word.)
