Does anyone else feel like the art of the complex melodic arrangement is getting harder to find in modern music? I’m looking for recommendations for current bands or songwriters who are still using those sophisticated 70s techniques—think big harmonies, unexpected woodwinds, and that specific "chamber pop" or "baroque rock" sensibility. I’m tired of the standard four-chord loops on the radio. Who is actually out there today carrying the torch for high-level craftsmanship in pop-rock? I’d love to hear some modern gems that don't just mimic the past, but actually understand the theory behind those classic melodic structures. What do you guys think, is that sound still alive in the indie scene?
