The Strokes, Amy Winehouse, Killers, More Get Star Treatment in Piper Ferguson’s ‘Indie/Seen’ Photo Book
Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music FOMO is such a strong human emotion that it defies logic, especially when looking at photos or video from Studio 54 or a Beatles concert or Truman Capote’s Black-and-White Ball… or, as “Indie/Seen,” veteran photographer Piper Ferguson’s new photo book demonstrates, the indie-rock scene of the early ‘00s. LCD Soundsystem, Coachella 2016 (Photo: Piper Ferguson) It’s a time capsule of the era dominated by the Strokes, the Killers, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the White Stripes, Interpol, LCD Soundsystem, the Rapture and many now-obscure acts from that scene, and even though the photos were taken 20-odd years ago, the artists are presented so vividly that it’s hard not to wish you were there.
