Is there a good post rock band that has normal length songs? Like, I'm basically looking for an ADD Mogwai to listen to. Vocals or no vocals is fine. I just don't want many songs over 5 minutes.

I'm looking for some songs to help me work through grief. My eighteen year old nice took her own life over the weekend and I'm struggling to process everything. I just need stuff to listen to for the moments when I'm alone and want to sink into the grief and deal with the loss. To give you an idea of the stuff I'm looking for, so far I have: LCD Soundsystem - Someone Great Neutral Milk Hotel - You've Passed Julien Baker - Sprained Ankle

My eighteen year old nice took her own life over the weekend and I'm struggling to process everything. I just need stuff to listen to for the moments when I'm alone and want to sink into the grief and deal with the loss. Is something like this year’s Mount Eerie album too much? It’s a quiet folk record about the death of his wife four months after they had a baby. I was listening to it while pondering a friend’s passing recently, but she also died three years ago and I don’t know if I would have handled it well in the immediate aftermath. It is an absolutely brutal album. Henchman of Santa fucked around with this message at 17:30 on Nov 23, 2017 |

Carrie & Lowell, both the studio album and the live album, is a soul crushing experience about Sufjan Stevens' mother and him coming to terms with her death. It helps when I'm depressed, and if it can do that I hope it'll help you too. I'm sorry.

I listened to a bunch of The Antlers - Hospice when I was going through a rough patch a few years ago and it helped me. If you need to listen to some lighter stuff my go to happy song is September by Earth Wind and Fire

I'm looking for something a little specific, but hopefully y'all can point me in the right direction. I'm really in love with Boris' "Flood," specifically the second section (link). I'm a big fan of ambient/electronic music (to give an idea of the angle I'm coming from and my tastes), and was wondering if there is more rock music in this vein (muted/absent drums, pleasant chords/melody, maybe a little fuzzy and reverb-heavy), and what might be a good road to go down in finding more of it.

I just need stuff to listen to for the moments when I'm alone and want to sink into the grief and deal with the loss. The album that's been best for me when I've had low periods is Spiritualized's 'Ladies And Gentlemen... We Are Floating In Space'. It hits just about every bad nerve but always leaves me feeling better at the end than the beginning... which sounds like something you need.

When my son died, I listened to a lot of Songs:Ohia, particularly Didn't It Rain, and found Jason's songs very helpful, so you might too.

I recently stumbled upon Elliott Smith and I'm amazed it took me this long to discover such an awesome artist in one of my favorite genres. I'm wondering if there might be other rock artists that I should know about. Examples of rock I like are mostly grunge/90's alternative such as Elliot Smith, Pixies, Nirvana, and Smashing Pumpkins, but I also like post-2000 Beck, and some upbeat stuff like Franz Ferdinand. Any suggestions for similar stuff?

I listened to Beck's album "Morning Phase" during the week where I was in and out of a hospital with complications leading to a miscarriage at 19 weeks. It was melancholy enough to match my mood, while also being somewhat soothing.

Who out there is doing their best imitations of The Cure? Any era of The Cure. What bands out there do you listen to and go "drat, they must have had Disintegration on all the time when they were sitting alone in their room."

But probably the best overall album from the early 90s is Faith No More - Angel Dust

Any suggestions for similar stuff? Do you want to narrow it down at all? Between basically all 90's indie/grunge rock/emo, and post 2000's beck and early 2000's dance rock, I'd have a thousand recommendations but I don't even know where to start.

If you want to dig deeper, do what the others said but also these: Full Force Galesburg (probably the best of the middle era, some lofi, some 4-track recordings) We Shall All be Healed (best hifi album imo) Nine Black Poppies Devil in the Shortwave EP (find the version that's not 1/3 of a step higher than recorded) Life of the World to Come Sweden and for all the random other EPs and singles, just get Ghana and Protein Source of the Future Now!

Why am I so loving picky? Unless it's *very* similar to one of my 10 favorite artists (Massive Attack, Aphex Twin, NiN, etc) growing up I just can't get interested. Hip-hop is an exception for some reason, I latch onto new stuff pretty quick

Hip-hop is an exception for some reason, I latch onto new stuff pretty quick maybe your taste stagnated? idk. or you wind up comparing new things that are in a similar vein to those favorites and judging them as lesser imitations. I'm a really big aphex twin fan and there are definitely artists from newer generations that are just as creative and skilled at songwriting/production to be found if you're open to finding them (on a more home-listening/ambient tip, oneohtrix point never scratches a lot of the same itches for me and similarly works in a super broad spectrum of electronic music genres; if you're more interested in the dancefloor-oriented stuff, bjarki might be up your alley). whatever the reason, one of the things that has served me well is just looking more into whatever sounds fresh to me at the time. if that's hip hop for you, dig into more of that

Hip-hop is an exception for some reason, I latch onto new stuff pretty quick I'm going to make a couple recommendations, neither of these bands sound like the ones you listed, but maybe they'll be unique enough for you to be interested The first recommendation is a band called IDLES. They released their first LP this year, it's called Brutalism. Political, humourous, abrasive post-punk that still maintains a strong sense of melody. Maybe you'll like it? Maybe you'll get bored and make yourself a sammich. Give it a try. Standout tracks: Mother, Gotho 1049, White Privilege, Divide and Conquer. The second you might be more familiar with: Stereolab. They've been around a lot longer than IDLES, much bigger discography. French pop with electronica, disco, and indie rock influences. Genuinely great melodies. Standout tracks: Lo Boob Oscillator, Neon Beanbag, Metronomic Underground. El Gallinero Gros fucked around with this message at 04:36 on Dec 7, 2017 |

I'm looking for blues recs including basically any sub-genre that includes. I get my wife's dad some music for Christmas every year and want to get him something a bit more blues-y because that's what he really likes. Previous years I've gotten him Gary Clark Jr and early Black Keys which he's liked. I know he really likes stuff like SRV and Joe Bonnamassa but also Robert Johnson and Led Zeppelin so it's not totally limited to bluesdad dudes. He also heard me listening to Radio Moscow and Clutch recently and said they sounded good.

I've been getting back into Smashing Pumpkins lately and I love the gently caress out of their first two albums, Gish and Siamese Dream Can anyone recommend some more of that early 90s rock sound, the one that's a bit more raw-feeling, very clearly inspired by the 70s but developing on it further? Basically if I had some bands that made a ton of albums similar in style to those two albums I would be really happy
