Looking for a certain genre

Hello! Im looking for a specific style. I want emotional music, that is a bit gloomy but absolutely not too gloomy(I don't want to be drained) and that is a bit "youthfull" if that makes sense. Iv'e been listening to Pedro the lion, especially older. I skip some too slow songs, because I feel drained, I skip some songs because they are to country influated. Emo music is great  and all that but I want something a little more deep and instrumentualy more intellectual. I used to listen to breaking benjamin but I want a little more artsy approach to the instrumentality. Radiohead is great but I want a little more back to school feel. The guitar "chord changes" in some late 90's bands are great but I want a little more depth/intellectual/slightly depressed.

Thank you!

Yep, that's what first came to mind with your description. Maybe also try arcade fire - neon bible, that's pretty dark

Thanks! That song is close. Arcade fire is usally a bit to festive for me, with trumphets and what not. But other than that very close. Haha trying to stear you here, and being very picky

Serious suggestion: I know you said post-2000 but you might get a kick out of shit like Archers of Loaf, 764-HERO, Silkworm, and Beat Happening.

 

Id throw in The Microphones/Mount Eerie but Phil's a bit more on the depressing side, especially his latest album.  But if you dig Pedro the Lion you're probably going to like Mount Eerie.
