Does anyone know anything about klezmer music? I've been listening to De Profundis by The Cracow Klezmer Band today and I absolutely love it but I don't even know what direction to go in from here. Anyone have any recommendations?

It's not really a good recommendation (i.e., not quite applicable to what you've said, though there's a family resemblance), but the first Firewater album might be up your alley. It's a fantastic record.

I have a cd by I think Matt Darieu or Darius and the Paradox Trio that's basically new acoustic music that cribs from klezmer instead of bluegrass. Not too bad if you like that stuff.

John Zorn's Masada project is massive, diverse, and will lead down many great paths. He's collaborated with many musicians such as Marc Ribot, Jamie Saft, Koby Israelite, Erik Friedlander, Eyvind Kang, Cyro Baptista, Uri Caine, all great.

Also Hasidic New Wave and Alamaailman Vasarat

Any recommendations for lady singers belting please? My tastes are pretty broad, but I'm partial to jazz standards, 40s 50s 60s stars, american songbook even.

In return here's a couple I can recommend for smooth vocals, good musicians, etc.

Blues Saraceno features pretty heavily on the soundtrack of the video game Rebel Galaxy; you might want to check out the other artists on the soundtrack. It's all pretty much along the same lines.

Some blues albums everyone should try:

Hoodoo Man Blues (Junior Wells)

Stand Back! Here Comes Charley Musselwhite's South Side Band and Tennessee Woman (Charlie Musselwhite)

West Side Soul (Magic Sam)

Chicago/The Blues/Today! Vols. 1-3 (Various) - which should be in anyone's album collection.

Those are all electric Chicago blues albums. They're just some that occur to me off the top of my head (I listen to more of what you would probably call R&B than straight blues) but they're all very good.

Yesterday I saw Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats and they were fantastic. However, I kind of liked the opening band a little bit more, but it turns out that they're a local band from Detroit and they made me long for some music that I don't even know exists. Are there any bands out there that have the whimsical/sultry sound of Sunset Rubdown or Wolf Parade that include heavy steel guitar? And if not, are there any bands out there that aren't country or honky-tonk music with heavy steel guitar, that has vocals?

*Spoken word passages + samples are fine, just don't want any singing/rapping/etc.

I'm looking for concept/storytelling albums in the vein of Hadestown by Anaïs Mitchell and The hazards Of Love by The Decemberists. It doesn't have to be folksy or even indie, but no awkward prog metal please.

Good prog metal is fine, it's just that there's so much loving awkward prog metal that tries to tell a story.

Mix of male and female vocals is ideal.

Check out Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm. They might be a bit too orchestral/classical for what your're asking, but they've all got some stuff that's predominantly electronic and it's totes amazing.

And if you fell for the orchestral elements of their music, check out Jóhann Jóhannson. And In The Endless Pause There Came The Sound Of Bees and IBM 1401 is mostly orchestral, but they're ethereal and beautiful like nothing else.

If It Were You, We'd Never Leave. It is an album from Andrew Bayer and features hip-hop instrumentals over glitchy, ethereal sounds. It's better than I'm making it sound. Maybe my favorite album of all time so I'm always excited to recommend it.

The Trees, the Sea, and the Sun from Guy J.

Well, Fennesz and William Basinski are the two big names often mentioned in the same breath as Tim Hecker, but I'm not familiar enough with their work to give any specific album recommendations. Perhaps someone else in the thread could chime in there. Also, Tim Hecker has quite a large body of work, so he should keep you busy for quite a long while.

I'd also like to recommend Oneohtrix Point Never (Daniel Lopatin). Although much of his work is more structured and beat-oriented, it shares many qualities with Tim Hecker's (they've even collaborated on some projects). I was planning on recommending something to start with, but then I read the post linked at the top of o.m.'s excellent thread. Krangdar does a great job of summarizing, so pick what appeals to you and give it a listen. And if you decide you want to jump down the greater rabbit hole of experimental electronic music, that whole thread is probably the most densely packed with information on a specific genre as I've seen on this subforum.

Ladyhawke
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAdqMiCrwXc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sxhyyUsXFM
I picked these songs especially because they're outliers in their band's discographies, most of their other songs are pretty low-key which is fine but doesn't make me want to run fast. I'm not expecting an artist or even a whole album to work for me but individual songs would be awesome because I can listen to the same song a billion times if I like it due to the fact that I probably have a brain disorder.

Sleater-Kinney's first album, or Carrie Brownstein's earlier queercore band Excuse 17. In fact, queercore in general might work for you as long as you're OK with thrashy, riot grrrl punk.

E: noticed just now your looking for synthpop type stuff. Well.

The synth is key my man, if JD Samson has been in the band at any point in time that's probably also a good sign. Queercore is also definitely a genre I like and listen to but it tends to be more thrashy and riot-grrly and I need a crisp sound. Low-fi? Thumbs down.


That Team Dresch song owned though would vastly be improved with a Casio keyboard.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs8K39u72SI Dragonette is largely fairly energetic and while not full-synth to the level that someone like Ladyhawke is the music is still pretty synthy depending on the song. Most of Fixin to Thrill (the album) is energetic, the title track just a good representation of her music.
