The Bats are top notch jangly 80s indie pop, although I'm only familiar with their debut album. I really should check out more of their stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4gdyTOnpPU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ugksca1luw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAGAZHkdRMs

that NME C86 comp is the most archetypal example of 80s jangle I can think of: https://open.spotify.com/album/4lwDUdh06FdHq9ShKQtnba e: oh yeah, Miracle Legion https://open.spotify.com/track/42jZ1iSUeoWyYf4VyvCCeJ Misc fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Jun 19, 2017 |

Looking for current female-fronted rock groups who combine a punk/grunge/garage rock edge with pop songwriting. Power chords, attitude, and catchy hooks, yes please. The bass being prominent in the mix is a plus. Some bands along these lines that I like, to varying degrees, include Cherry Glazerr, Cayetana, All Dogs, Chumped, Katie Ellen, Camp Cope, Chastity Belt, Diet Cig, Jabber, Daddy Issues, Sheer Mag, Waxahatchee, Snail Mail, and Bleached Examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV4l1UdR00M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQS8_A3Sy8k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEf6Vmv5_3g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWYWd2GHXyg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgrKzI4QiOY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zT-_dJ8Qbt0

You should pop into the Electro-Industrial thread for some recommendations in the first few pages, and it's an active thread, so you'd get some extensive answers if you ask. I'm sure they could use a break from discussing which era of KMFDM is the best.

Not sure if anything is going to exist for this, but here goes. About 80% of the time when I listen to a Vaporwave (or related subgenre) album it sounds like a baby's-first-sampling experiment that someone did some cool album art for and slapped up on bandcamp. It sounds like they grabbed a free DAW and downpitched a song and sprinkled the worst reverb plugin ever on top and that's it. I do enjoy sample-centric Vaporwave (like Death's Dynamic Shroud) when they've actually put some time into arranging the bits together, adding some texture/layers on top, and making them flow. I'm wondering, though, is there anything with the same aesthetic that is actually composed from scratch? It's fine if it still uses samples, but it'd be neat to have song structures. My dream genre would be prog rock or shoegaze + that. I'm more into the bright windows 95/mall music thing than the late 80s kung fury synthwave thing.

I have no idea what shoegaze or post-rock with vaporwave elements could sound like, but on the death's dynamic shroud.wmv tip, you should check out other releases on Orange Milk, like Gora Sou - Ramifications or the really weird Giant Claw albums. Or if you want real instruments, the Visible Cloaks album on RVNG Intl.

What up homies, I'm looking for music similar to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kWo8N4QNXM and this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7UVfoXQT6w Bonus song: maybe something similar to the Game of Thrones intro song. I'm not even sure how to describe it. Like, mystic folk Gaelic or Celtic instrumentals? I dunno, I just know I need more of these kind of peaceful, floaty tunes. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! pliable fucked around with this message at 07:34 on Jul 7, 2017 |

Based off one listen of Ocean Songs, this kind of reminds me more of Explosions in the Sky. Definitely digging it a lot though and added their albums to my library, but it's not quite what I'm looking for. I think I figured out why though: there's more of a percussive presence in Dirty Threes compared to the Braid stuff I posted. The percussion, for me, makes it more tight and focused, rather than "floaty". But again, I'm really enjoying this (listening to Horse Stories now), so thank you regardless!  Nordick posted:EDIT: Nope, I was wrong, second album is all covers as well. Maybe they've said they're planning on doing original material in the future?

Listened to Liberté, Egalité, Sensualité as well and really enjoyed their rendition of Poupée de cire, poupée de son! Anyone else got original stuff? Hell even if it doesn't quite match, I'm loving these suggestions so far

Thank you much Hard to say really - for Macmaster/Hay I'd say Hook, but then Love & Reason has phenomenal Thograinn Thograinn, though I'd say Hook fits more into your criteria (and MacMaster does her own irish music gig, though I'm fed up with irish music for a while having been listening to Enya for far too long); in case of Hidden Orchestra it's definitelly Night Walks - there's such a plethora of different intstruments and remixing going around, every song is different, opposed with Archipelago, which feels a bit monothematic. Maybe Balmorhea then? They're from Texas though, but otherwise plenty of string instruments - I'd recommend their live album Live at Sint-Elisabethkerk as it gives a insight into their output: https://open.spotify.com/album/6DbFTaEAPw9tHxH0LpS5vP (or at least great Remembrance: https://open.spotify.com/album/3RGZGuwR3f0n6Y4WtE7dlR) and see if it strikes your fancy. I also found Jeff Beal to be most similar to Jami Sieber, but maybe that's just me

Anti-pop consortium, Cryptic One, Edan, Juggaknots, Deep Puddle Dynamics, Them, Non-Phixion. Maybe check Ultramag MCs and Organized Konfusion as well. I'd also recommend DOOM's various projects but imo the production's a lot smoother than El-P's stuff and that jaggedness is a big part of CoFlow to me (maybe not on the King Ghidra album or Venomous Villain). Same with a lot of the Greenhouse Records dudes (Blueprint, Illogic, and the various comps). Czarface and early Demigodz stuff as well would probably hit a lot of the same notes.

listen to fagen's the nightfly if you haven't after their first few records they weren't really a band in the traditional sense-- they became a studio only project and had a rotating cast of session musicians record their compositions, including michael mcdonald of the doobie brothers, and jeff porcaro of toto, so them. that's just scratching the surface of who they worked with though. there's a ton of really overproduced 70s soft rock out there that sounds similar like boz scaggs, chicago, hall & oates, 10cc, etc. i like a lot of it but there's also a lot of it that's really uninteresting to me, especially compared to steely dan where the interest, to me at least, lies in the juxtaposition of their music and lyrics.
