Mansun

Dean wrote the bio
https://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=5082

Mansun biography
MANSUN were an English Indie band from Chester whose brief three album career in the late 1990s could be regarded as the stalled beginnings of a resurgence in Progressive Rock in the mainstream (that has more recently been termed New Prog as a general catch-all for bands that have definite Indie/Alt Rock foundations but acknowledge Progressive Music as a source of influence and inspiration). Following on closely from RADIOHEAD in terms of success and recognition their debut album "Attack Of The Grey Lantern" entered the British album charts at number one on its release and with its conceptual story-line and self-revealing hidden track ('An Open Letter To The Lyrical Trainspotter') it quickly established itself as a favourite with fans as an album to discuss and debate at length.

I have seen "Indie" bands deploy Prog sensibilities in their music.

The Chicago band "The Marquis'" (sic) had an amazing guitarist, and I was tapped to audition for bassist. When I went to jam with Todd, the first bass line I threw at him was John Wetton's muscular riff from "Lark's Tongues In Aspic Part 2."   He responded with a high-energy blast of jazz-rock notes, it was fun!

Ive always really rated bands such as Super Furry Animals, The Beta Band, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci (and lots more seemingly now called 'post rock') from the 90's and 2000's as really forward thinking though perhaps more psych and art than prog. And there has always been two distinct 'indie'.. bands who have always been supported by and support truely independent record labels and 'indie' bands who are mainstream, massive and on corporate labels and just called 'indie' by the music media.  

Labels such as Charisma were truely independent (at the start, 69-74/5 when bought out by phonogram) and labels such as Stiff and Rough trade continued that model.

Most sites call them art pop, art rock, chamber pop etc. Good stuff for sure.


^ I would much sooner call those Art Rock than Prog as well, but I also would describe those as progressive in their own ways. Fr those that don't know, Prog Archives had an Art Rock category before having Crossover Prog, Eclectic Prog and Heavy Prog. Some on the art rock side went to Crossover, some Prog Related, Some Eclectic. While I supported the split/ new categories and that was a reason why I was an early member of the Eclectic Team, I have rather wished we had a specific Art Rock category that would cover much, as I think of it, Prog-adjacent music.

I made a whole list  not too overly long ago. So far i've detected 67 indie rock bands that are clearly progressive rock as well.

^ But sure, for some bands/releases it seems obvious to call them "Indie [Rock]" because that is how they have been marketed and described by everyone. I've just added the genre at AP, and we'll see who/how it will be used.

Do you know of any progressive indie bands? (Or maybe even discuss whether it should be added as a subgenre?)

The problem I have with this "genre" is that it is almost impossible to define. RYM defines "Indie Rock" as a subgenre of "Alt Rock", and especially when bands get a little more sophisticated, IMHO a label like "Alt Rock" becomes indistinguishable from "Art Rock", "Eclectic Prog" or "Crossover Prog".
