@ Happy_and_Weak You need to look up the definition of "indie." By definition US Ilya IS an "indie" group. Also the trip-hop genre was a 90's thing; it no longer exists. Please read more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trip_hop. NOTE, the Ilya group listed in the article is the UK Ilya.

Ilya filled the gap that Portishead left for the better part of a decade very nicely. I actually like Poise is the Greater Architect better than most of Portishead's stuff.
