The new Cindy Lee double LP,
Diamond Jubilee, is amazing. He refused to put it on streaming platforms but it's available on Youtube. I don't really listen to indie rock anymore but this is the best release in that genre that I've heard in ages. If you miss 2000s lo-fi stuff like Ariel Pink or Woods, this is the album.
On the other hand the new Vampire Weekend album,
Only God Was Above Us, seems pretty mediocre. I was never a huge fan of the band but I did like Modern Vampires of the City and parts of Father of the Bride, but this one seems very paint-by-numbers millennial pop.

Sikkkkk. Never heard this before!
I love so much stuff from around then. I'm a sucker for a good pop tune like
Strawberry Switchblade and
Blue Nile, but there's so much stuff I haven't heard yet
Have you heard
Orange Juice? They're my favorites from the "Young Scotland" movement. But there's a lot of gems.
edit: I love
Suzanne Ciani too! Seven Waves is a New Age classic.
