Looking for a little help in identifying other songs/artist or simply a genre. Came across this song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9oDmTOSXbk and a linked song that I also like is - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUmk31jvdIA

I like the heavy funk beats. I like that it's has a more up beat tempo and the heavy distortion in the vocals with a heavy synth. What other stuff is out there or what genre would this be (funkatronic?)?

Yay I finally get an excuse to plug my favorite album ever Wake Up Swimming by Other Men

who is a band basically reassembled from the remains of Thingy, who was the second project of Rob Crow of Pinback fame

Rob Crow is a genius songwriter if you're not familiar with him, he has a way of writing math rock in a really poppy, lullabyesque way

Anyway, yeah I would say that Other Men isn't quite as twinkly and textured as an American Football, and a bit more intricate and noodly, but goddamn if the dude doesn't have a way of turning the most loopy mathy clean-toned guitar wankery into blissful pop fluff and goddrat that's an incredible album that I never get tired of listening to even after like 10 years. The whole thing's up on Youtube, look it up

I had no idea that they qualified as "emo" - most of the emo I have are posthardcore-y or the fake ones.

That said, yes, I'd be open to checking anyone that resembles that sound. Specific songs would be nice too.

I'm an album guy more than a song guy, so check out:
Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate) - What it Takes to Move Forward
Foxing - The Albatross
The Reptilian - Low Health
The World is a Beautiful Place & I am No Longer Afraid to Die - Harmlessness
Their / They're / There - self-titled (also has Mike Kinsella)

Mathiness and noodling levels may vary but all those bands listen to a lot of AmFoo and I've seen two of them with TTNG before.

I don't think you'll find much, early electronic music was almost all linked to the academic tradition, it's only really in the 60s that synthesisers start being used by other people. I guess Bebe and Louis Barron's Forbidden Planet soundtrack would be worth checking out. There's also a compilation called 'Ohm: The Early Gurus of Electronic Music' that may be of interest, although it goes into the 60s and 70s and a lot of the material on it is from classical composers doing electronic stuff.

There is only one Other Men album, so wysiwyg. However, rob crow is an extremely prolific musician (or at least he WAS; he quit music this year)

Other similar crow stuff: pinback, thingy, heavy vegetable, optiganally yours, remote action sequence project, the ladies, and all of his solo albums. Also Goblin Cock, who are sludge/doom metal, but still pretty drat poppy and intricate.

Nick Cave - Babe I'm on Fire
M|O|O|N - Hydrogen
The Clean - Point That Thing Somewhere Else (In-a-Live version)
Waveshaper - The Engineer
Desert Sessions - Screamin' Eagle

Not too picky, but I like things that kick off almost immediately.

(Not a very serious suggestion, I just got reminded of this one time I left work with earphones on and this song started on the exact moment I walked out of the door. My walk to the bus stop was extra brisk and swaggery that time. :v:)


As for something a bit more fitting to your examples, maybe some electro swing?

I think there's actually an excerpt from the Forbidden Planet soundtrack on Ohm anyway. This list(http://www.factmag.com/2014/05/29/the-greatest-electronic-albums-of-the-1950s-and-1960s) also has some cool looking stuff, some of it's from the 60s though.

If you like MOON you might also like:
Slagsmålsklubben - Sponsored by destiny
Harlem - Pieces

Björn Anders Nilsson - Lasanj

If you like The Clean you should definitely check out other "Dunedin Sound" bands like Snapper. There's a nice compilation of Flying Nun artists called Getting Older that has a lot of good stuff on it.
edit: looks like someone has made a youtube playlist

As for that Waveshaper song, there's a ridiculous amount of retro-synth/fake 80s/"new retro wave" stuff out there. It all sounds pretty much alike, but names that people usually bring up are Carpenter Brut/Lazerhawk/Miami Nights 1984

the first EP by Amesoeurs is the high water mark for that whole sound or scene or whatever it was

Oh I listened to it. Its definitely very similar, didn't know that Neige is on both Alcest and Amesoeurs but Amesoeurs also has the female vocalist so its not all the same. Loving these two bands so far. Amesoeurs and Alcest.

Its seems France is a pretty good spot for Black Metal. I use to think it was mostly Scandinavian bands but nice to see France produce some great Metal bands. Its kinda a bonus that I speak French so I understand some of it.

France is pretty good for black metal, but Neige projects have nothing to do with black metal at this point.

Probably more shoegaze crossed with some black metal aesthetics.


Edit: if you want some french black metal you could check out Belenos. It is a one-man band from Brittany way into the Celtic mythology of that area. I haven't heard the newest stuff, but the first couple of albums are great.

i'm looking for more stuff like Built to Spill and pre-Moon and Antarctica Modest Mouse- i guess guitar-heavy indie rock that manages to be both hooky and sprawling? i'm familiar with all the other bands these two share members with and also most of their big influences (Smiths, Dinosaur Jr, Neil Young, Sonic Youth), so i suppose more obscure is better. thanks!

Pretty much anything by the Meat Puppets

Hey, Snow White by Destroyer

Only For You by Heartless Bastards

It's Not Easy by Ofege

Gut Feeling by Devo

Hold On by Alabama Shakes

I Had a Real Good Lover by The Shouting Matches

In Particular Blonde Redhead


You also didn't mention The Pixies, Yo La Tengo, Talking Heads, R.E.M., Pink Floyd, Pavement/Stephen Malkmus, all of which were huge influences to early Modest Mouse sounds. You may also like Spoon or Wilco.

figured "more obscure" excluded most of those groups, but, yeah, i enjoy most of them, too (we've listened to Talking Heads, Meat Puppets, Pixies, REM, and WIlco at work in the last week). definitely a few that i didn't know/hadn't thought of, though, so thanks!

I've been obsessed with San Fermin's Jackrabbit (the song, not the album), lately, and I'm on a bit of a quest to find more music like it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvHzV7ygaOA

All the recommendation websites just list artists similar to the album, which I also enjoy, but I'm hooked on this specific song, and I feel like there definitely is a some kind of subgenre it should belong to. It's very vocals-heavy with a kind of frantic pacing, and I'm not sure how much of it is just Charlene Kaye's voice.

Hey recommendation thread! I was hoping someone could point me towards more stuff in the vein of Harmaja.

So:
- Acoustic or mostly acoustic, calm, wistful, soothing stuff with smooth, melodic singing. I love how their music is quite melancholic, but has this comforting, bittersweet and somewhat hopeful undertone to it instead of being just miserably mopey.
- Nothing too experimental or avant-garde, and with actual structured songs instead of floaty, meandering ambient stuff (if that makes sense).
- The presence of piano is a big plus, and although Harmaja don't use them some strings are also welcome. (such as in this song by the singer's previous band.)
- Language and singer's gender are not an issue.

Really though just listen to a few of their songs and recommend me something that gives you a similar vibe. I'll try to keep an open mind. :)

The Tallest Man on Earth fits a lot of that criteria, his later albums especially as he has a full band behind him, first couple of albums are just him and acoustic guitar

I'd like to find some more songs to round out my acoustic/ballads playlist.

I prefer rock bands, and I prefer the music to be a little more on the darker, more melancholic side. Bonus if there's really well-done harmonies in there. Examples of stuff already on this playlist are Alice In Chains (especially stuff from their MTV Unplugged set), Stone Sour, Pink Floyd, and Adna. I'd love to keep adding to this list with some like-minded stuff.

Examples of stuff already on this playlist:

Alice In Chains - Your Decision
Alice In Chains - Down In A Hole (Unplugged)
Stone Sour - Wicked Game
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
Adna - Beautiful Hell


Thanks!

I'm not a big fan of his singing voice to be honest and the music doesn't really push my buttons either, though as you said it does mostly fit the criteria. Thanks for the effort, though. :)

Well as it happens, this fits pretty well under what I had in mind just two posts up from yours, so thanks for that eventhough it wasn't a deliberate suggestion. :) Conversely, you might find Harmaja fitting for that playlist, if you don't mind our crazy moon language.

Alternatively, off the top of my head, Tarot - Sleepless.

I'm glad you liked Adna! I discovered her completely by accident, accidentally clicking to play her song instead of a different one on my Spotify discovery thing.

Gonna be honest, though, most of that stuff you posted isn't really doing it for me. I'm not really into folk music, I just like melancholy acoustic rock. Tarot sounded like a legit medieval bard, which is cool, but not really what I'm after :)
