So I recently got back to listening to Bad Company, but all it's doing for me is making me want something more bluesy. I really enjoy points in their songs with slow, low, grungy guitar sounds, but that's about as specific as I can get with this. I haven't really delved into the blues genre much, so I suppose what I'm looking for is introductory blues with slow, heavy, grungy guitar sections.

Can anyone recommend me, or at least give me a name of a genre/style, similar to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g83g2zIcJgI

What I'm mostly talking about is the use of middle-eastern-esque instruments, along with the rising and falling strings that give a sense of wonder or adventure to the song. If nothing else, a label for the middle-eastern style would be appreciated.

Does anyone have any recommendations similar to Nicole Dollanganger?

Usually I really dislike squeaky female vocals, but hers sound soft and sincere enough to me that she can pull it off.

I'm looking for unusual/reclusive music like this: http://modernscar.bandcamp.com/album/nineteen-or-the-pale-oblivion-of-the-western-fog

Especially The Joke and Monolith.

Music about/surrounding isolation, not just in lyrics but in the above's case, use of samples and unusual production. Modern Scar's entire discography is rife with that kind of stuff, but I've listened to pretty much all of it and haven't found anything that has quite that feeling.

I feel like Godspeed You! Black Emperor is kind of in this vein, particularly F♯a♯∞

Already on that train. Godspeed and Grails are two favorites, should've mentioned.

In that case, maybe Future Sounds Of London - Dead Cities. Completely different style of music from the others listed, but one of my favorite albums. It's what I imagine the soundtrack to a post apocalyptic world would sound like.
First two tracks won't directly apply (in, again, my opinion it's the sound of the apocalypse and the immediate aftermath) but the rest should.

This didn't really do it for me, though I can't really pin why. I think I'm looking for more personal sounding music (as in focusing on the individual, doesn't have to be focused on the artists personal life) rather than something as large scale.

So this is probably a pretty unusual request, but I'm looking for stuff like this:

Very early electronic with reading's of Charles Baudelaire poetry overlayed. I know this is probably really uncommon so I suppose I just wanna see if there's anything else like this out there.
