IndianGiver — Plafond EP

If you were to peruse the “About” section of IndianGiver’s Facebook page, you’ll notice how the instruments attributed to each of the Oklahoma City band’s five members are described with downright flippancy: Dylan Jordan plays “sticks & animal skins,” while Jazzton Rodriguez earns his keep with “shanties & loud noises,” and so on.

Various artists — Never Give Up: Celebrating 10 Years of The Postal Service

Few indie bands have had the impact on current music that The Postal Service has. Even fewer have done so with only one album.

Big Worm — Bench All-Stars

Fans of the comedy classic Friday may recognize the name Big Worm, but the Big Worm behind Bench All-Stars is rooted not in South Central L.A., but on the streets of Oklahoma City.

Code 22 — Going Soft: The Acoustic Album!

The guys of Oklahoma City’s Code 22 seem like a likable group of fellas. Their latest release, Going Soft: The Acoustic Album!, is likable enough as well — so likable that on first listen, I took its clean, acoustic sound and clear, unstressed vocals as an alternative praise-and-worship band.

Eureeka — Polysynthetic Fields

It’s always refreshing to hear music that embraces its own eccentricity, yet presents it in an accessible and meek fashion. Eureeka — the Norman-based duo of Jordan Vargas and Devin Wahl — has tapped into this rarified air on its self-released EP, Polysynthetic Fields.

Indie-pop band Of Montreal will join Starlight Mints as headliners at this year's Norman Music Festival, organizers announced last week.

In a posting on the festival's Facebook page, organizers said the Athens, Ga., band has "been around for many years, and have played Norman a few times in the past."

"There's a reason why they've had 5 million song plays on MySpace," organizers wrote. "They write great tunes, and put on a big show."

Other Main Stage performers will be chosen in the weeks to come, organizers wrote. Acts for the "Okie-Dirt" stage were also named for the April 25 festival, and include Brandon Jenkins, Todd Snider, Camille Harp, Travis Linville, Resident Funk and Blue Turtle Seduction.

Organizers hope to fill five stages with 50 regional, local and national touring bands for the free festival. Like last year's inaugural event, acts will perform on outdoor stages set up on Norman's Main Street and on stages inside Opolis and Sooner Theatre. More than 13,000 people attended that first fest, which featured a reunited Chainsaw Kittens and indie-rock choir The Polyphonic Spree. "Joe Wertz
