I’m about to take a long flight and am looking to expand my music library.
EDIT: Thanks so much, everyone! I’ve got 10.5 hours of music on my new playlist thanks to you all!
Fontaines DC, the most recent album. Plus the cover Porter Robinson did of Favorite from that album.
That song with Waxahatchee and MJ Lenderman, Right Back to It.
Nilufer Yanya album My Method Actor
Joshua Ray Walker, anything by him is so good.
I got back into Ratatat recently and love the vibes in everything
Always been a Clutch fan, but I’ve been listening to Three Golden Horns a lot the past few days.
Ghostface killah
Twelve Reasons To Die might be my favorite solo wu album
I’ve been listening to Metallica’s One and …And Justice for All repeatedly, their two best tracks.
Orion and To Live Is To Die are better, IMHO. :)
Sorry I posted the wrong songs.
Don’t be. I’m just sharing an alternate opinion.
Do you get, though, how it doesn’t improve a thread asking people what they’re most excited about right now when you reply telling someone they’re wrong?
Do you get though that I said “in my humble opinion” and posted a smile? Do you get, though, that other people may like Metallica and have different songs they like and would have the urge to reply to your comment as if it were the Metallica thread? Do you get that, though? Do you?
I’m just saying, in life there are contexts where your disagreement is meant to be part of the discussion, like a best song thread, and then there’s other contexts where criticizing what someone likes, even in a non mean spirited way, subtly depresses the fun of the situation.
When I was younger I didn’t get that, my friends would talk about things they liked and I’d instinctively disagree. And at a certain age I realized I’d be better company if I didn’t interrupt their enthusiasm. Because the world sucks and enthusiasm is hard to cultivate.
You sound insecure. I wasn’t trying to bring you down. Be confident. Own your opinions.
Have a nice day.
Machinae Supremacy - Sidology 3 – metal covers of songs from old video games actually also using a SID chip.
I’m not obsessed with Wisp
it’s much deeper than that
Passage Du Desir - Sturgill Simpson. His whole catalog is solid if you like more classic country (Merle/Willie)with some experimental elements.
Hump Back - 「番狂わせ」(Upset)
/watch?v=zlcn57wdr9E- Will likely have to watch it through Invidious or a VPN with an exit node in Japan, afaik it region locked to Japan only… ;-;The band was somewhat recently featured on Bocchi the Rock with one of the scenes in the linked video being adapted into the cover page.
*Track from their newer album:
「がらくた讃歌」(Ode to Trash)
/watch?v=XtuzSsFWKikWindhand. Sort of a psychedelic doom metal with groovy elements and a haunting, ethereal female vocalist
Listened to them a bit in my metal days, impressed to see them have over 80k monthly listeners on Spotify now!
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. About to release their 27th album and have covered pretty much every genre so no matter what you like, there’s probably a record for you. My favorite is the Flying Yellow Microtonal Banana, full of great tracks, but Billabong Valley has broad appeal.
King gizzard are exceptional, only downside is that it can be a little intimidating with 27 studio albums to choose from for a first listener! Honestly a good method to pick based on what you like is from their album covers, they do a pretty good job summing up what it’ll sound like imo.
The other way to navigate it is if you get into the storyline of the Gizzverse, the fictional universe that is referenced throughout their songs, but not in chronological order. Trying to piece it together has encouraged me to branch out and listen to albums I otherwise might have ignored.
I love KGLW but I don’t like the microtonal stuff.
To each their own. That’s part of what makes KGLW so fascinating. They’re a band that two people with very different musical tastes can both love equally!
Colin Stetson is a fantastic ride. He plays instrumental music, but he’s playing lower-pitched instruments *wrong.".
Mics on the keys are picking up rhythmic clicking acting as the percussion. He is sometimes shouting through the instrument. The end result sounds like a chase through the woods in the dark.
I was intrigued by your description but also thought I’d hate it. Gave it a listen and was pleasantly surprised, he’s super talented and his music is totally unique.
I’m glad you like it!
I found him some time ago and it’s great to unwind after a tough day. I’ll play it on my Bluetooth speaker in the shower.
Glass Beams
Khruangbin
I can feel Khruangbin lower my stress within 10 seconds.
Yup. Very few bad songs too. They’re consistently great. Zionsville is my current high water mark for them. Just gorgeous. I never saw the appeal of the pedal steel guitar until that song.
This music video is my favorite piece of art in general too, be sure to read the description of the video.
I don’t think I’ve heard that, gonna check it out. I really like all the stuff they did with Leon Bridges, I wasn’t ever really a fan of that type of like country/r&b or what ever it is until then, but damn those albums/EPs are great.
I tried to go see them open for Toro y Moi one time, and Toro cancelled so it was just them for the whole set and they started just doing hip-hop covers in their style to extend their set and it was hands down one of the best shows I’ve ever been to.
Oh nevermind! Zionsville is on my favorite album they’ve done. I don’t know the track names because I usually just throw on a whole album at once
This will likely be my favorite for a long long time. Just so relaxing.
