If you're looking for an Electronica artist, try:
Moby
Wax Tailor
RJD2
The Avalances

If you're looking for something with a good hook with a woman's voice, try:

The Bird And The Bee
Metric
The Softies
Norah Jones (Although she really isn't Indie)

If you're looking for an Americana feel, go for:

The Mother Hips
Neil Young (Again, not Indie, but still appropriate to the Americana genre)
Hem
Sufjan Stevens

I have lots more, but these are the three genres I'm currently listening to that are Indie. =)

Half the ones you listed aren't even indie. Since when is MGMT, Adele, Panic! or Arcade Fire indie? I know I shouldn't be nit-picking but those are just too hard to ignore.

Adele was a mistake, I made this list before with allll of the artist I like, not just Indie, and forgot to delete her.
But yes, MGMT and Arcade Fire are Indie. Panic! not so much anymore.
The only reason some people don't consider MGMT indie anymore, is because of Electric Feel, and when the posers blew that song up. Same thing with Arcade Fire and the Suburbs.
Panic! has been non-indie for the longest; forgot to erase them too.
