Lee Van Queef posted:What are some post-rock bands/albums I might like if I really enjoy GY!BE, especially "BBF3," "Storm," and "Sleep?" Check out Caspian, Explosions in the Sky, The Evpatoria Report. In my experience, which is admittedly pretty limited, GY!BE are pretty unlike anything else I've heard. But those bands I've mentioned are all in the vein of long instrumental stuff.

I have trouble finding any music I like that isn't death or black metal. A contributing factor might be that I dislike most clean vocals. I prefer instrumental music really. Here's some examples of what I like that isn't metal (yeah I like the piano): Max Richter - Infra 3 Yann Tiersen - Comptine d'un autre été: L'après-midi Bach - "Little" Fugue (piano) World's End Girlfriend - Ghost of a Horse Under a Chandelier Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea (I like this singer)

I'm looking for stuff similar to Demdike Stare, especially their song Hashshashin Chant . I've seen some places describe it as dark ambient but that hasn't given me quite what I'm looking for.

I'm crazy about Animal Collective and Yeasayer. I have pretty much everything the two have released, including solo projects, but I keep on wanting more. Anyone one else out there appeal to this? Basically an almost world music influenced semi-electronic band with nature sounds thrown in periodically.

Cluricaun posted:I am an old person who normally likes heavy metal, so please be nice at this vague rear end request about hipster indie stuff: You could probably just run a search on AllMusic or Last.fm or Wikipedia or whatever for Alt-Country and it would turn up dozens of bands that have the sound you're looking for. I haven't really paid attention to this stuff in a couple of years, but I think that Okkervil River do the country/folk/americana tinged Indie Rock thing the best out of all those bands. I remember also liking Neko Case, Songs: Ohia/Magnolia Electric Co., Bonnie 'Prince' Billy/Palace/Will Oldham, and Silver Jews a lot.

Here's another attempt at this. This may be a little specific. I'm looking for something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h54MfBeltME My favorite parts are the dreamy nostalgic atmosphere (this is probably the most important aspect) and the pulsating beats.

Forgive me if I haven't looked through all 90 pages of this, but I'm looking for a kinda indie-pop-ish band like Bishop Allen or The New Pornographers. Something that's really happy. I've got Sufjan and Death Cab, but I'm looking for something more obscure. e, Come to think of it, can someone list off some of their favorite post-rock bands?

Hmm, haven't tried this thread in years so might as well. Right now my top listened to artists are the Clash, Drive-By Truckers, Bob Dylan, The Pogues, Randy Newman, Johnny Cash, Steve Earle, M.I.A., Hank Williams, the Mummies, the Felice Brothers It's sorta a jumble of genres, but I love folk, country, rock, punk, garage, or any fusion of those. I love songwriting that tells... I guess socially conscious stories? Although explicit 60s protest songs are annoying, excluding Dylan who'd I argue never did explicit protest songs. Any ideas?

I like the Stiff Little Fingers song, I'll make sure to get some of them, but I really, really love that Calexico song. The thing is, I've tried them out before, I have the album Carried to Dust, and while I loved the instrumentals and really, the sound in general, I can't stand the vocals when spoken in English. I don't know how to describe it, but I hate that kind of soft... whispery singing the guy does. Is there an album where that is less dominant? Or maybe an album more directly focused on Mexican and country instead of latin music in general.

The whispery singing will still be there on certain tracks, but I really prefer Calexico's live recordings over the studio albums. If you search for them on Archive.org's live music database there's an album called Live at China Theater on 2003-04-25. You can stream it from there. The sound quality is phenomenal and there are several standout tracks: Pepita, Guerro Canelo, Sunken Waltz, and their covers of Alone Again Or and Corona. There's an instrumental band called Friends of Dean Martinez that has a fairly similar style, albeit a bit lazier and stoned sounding. I've only ever owned one album (Atardecer) so my knowledge isn't broad. But I can recommend checking that album out on Grooveshark and maybe there are others you'd like.

Hey guys, I'm looking for some Indie/Electro Pop similiar to Miike Snow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZO1nMuZSnI is one of my favourites. I guess I'm looking for sort of chillout/contemplative electro instead of the harder party stuff. Also, I'm starting to get into Instrumental Hip-hop/Glitch stuff, like Flying Lotus's Cosmogramma. Some people have recommended Aphex Twin, who I think is okay but I'm more into the hip-hop vibe. I don't mind if it has lyrics and rapping as long as it has that glitchy aesthetic Flying Lotus's music has.

I recently discovered The XX and I like it a lot, but as they haven't really made a lot of songs, I was wondering if anybody knows something in the same vein... Not even necessarily musically, but with a similar atmosphere.Bellams posted:Can someone recommend some bands where the vocals are all in German, but that's not metal/gothic/industrial? Kraftwerk was already posted, if you like that I'd suggest the whole Krautrock scene that inspired them (though I don't really know them much, and they not always sing in german): Faust, Ton Steine Scherben, Can, Klaus Schulze... Otherwise there is the movement called "Neue Deutsche Welle", a wave of german-speaking music in the 80s: Einstürzende Neubauten (though they are almost a Noise Band), Falco (the first german rapper in some way...), Nina Hagen (punkrock), Nena (yeah, the lady with 99 red balloons), Trio, etc. Just look up "Neue Deutsche Welle", it shoudl give you a nice list. More in the 90s there is stuff like Herbert Grönemeyer ("rock" for family fathers, if you know what I mean), Böhse Onkelz (rock for truck drivers), and punkrock for students like Die Ärzte, Die Toten Hosen, Die Prinzen... Newer stuff is either pop (Wir sind Helden are very famous) or rap: Die Fantastischen Vier, Fettes Brot, Blumentopf, and more commercial stuff like Sido, Bushido, Massive Töne, Frauenarzt, etc. That's all I can think of for the moment, but there is definitely a lot more.

I really like their album Excuses for Travellers, similar stuff I like is Beach House, Mazzy Star and Wye Oak. I never found folk rock interesting however, even though it has a lot of similarities. Can someone suggest anything?
