I think indie definitely has something to do with it. One of the best things
that Morr did was put out the Piano Magic remixes, while those are really
nice, I went out and bought some original Piano Magic and those are great.
They seem to be slowing crossing over to an electronic sound, lots of
crackles on their latest one.
I'll have to check out that safety scissors.
That reminds me, the Styrofoam record has some great muted, somewhat
depresing vocals on it, I can't even understand what he's saying (its
probably better that way). They sort of hint at early new order vocals where
the voice is so bassy that the individual words get washed away.
Lastly, Schneider TM's cover of "There is a light..." by the smiths, thats
just fucking amazing.

I like what safety scissors did with the vocals on his newest record too,
"parts water". Really good album overall. There seems to be a trend
happening with non-chopped up vocals in idm type music. Bleeding over from
indy rock maybe? Herbert's doesn't sound too indy but safety scissors does,
a bit anyway.
