bonnemenagere posted:Lately I've been really jonesing out on lyric-centered, contemporary folk/rock 'ala Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band, The Mountain Goats, and The Good Life. I don't usually go for the acoustic-dude-on-guitar bit, but inexplicably as of late I just want some storytelling, simple songs with a stark effect. The ideal point of reference for this is probably The Magnetic Fields - Charm of the Highway Strip. If you haven't heard it, it was Stephen Merrit's attempt at a "country" album and I think its absolutely haunting. I want something without too much of a "full band sound." Any ideas? You might like Will Oldham. Try Bonnie "Prince" Billy - I See A Darkness, Bonnie "Prince" Billy - Master & Everyone and Palace Brothers - There Is No One What Will Take Care of You. Jason Molina - Let Me Go Let Me Go Let Me Go is really good too.

Harry Privates posted:I am really into The National, and was wondering what other bands people would recommend? I have heard suggestions of Elbow, so I guess what albums should I start with for them? i guess you're looking for 'dark' indie rock or whatever, so try: Editors - The Back Room The Black Heart Procession - 2 Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights The Red Painting - Your tears Are Warning Signs

Chexmix posted:Can anybody recommend more bands along the lines of Sixteen Horsepower, Woven Hand, and Murder By Death? I really dig on the sort of dark traditional sound, like the apocalypse happening in the old west or whatever. Anything with a similar sound or vibe would be great. I also really enjoy Beirut, so I guess more along those lines would be fine too. those poor bastards http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhq55-zWXQA the drones (maybe not what you're looking for but i think they have the same 'sound') http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUnQ3F2Rwq4 nick cave has a dark sound too and the vocalist from 16 h/woven hand reminds me of him

nesbit37 posted:I am trying to find some Francophone music that is nice and kind of mellow. An example would be Carla Bruni maybe mixed with the Amelie soundtrack. Thats a bad description, but essentially something light, maybe some accordion, and a nice smooth voice or voices singing in French. I tried using lastFM to find similar artists but the results returned were all anglophone. jacques brel - olympia 64

doctor iono posted:Where to go after Elliott Smith? His music makes me want to cry - in a good way. I'm already a huge fan of The Shins, Iron and Wine, and Sufjan Stevens, so I'm not exactly sure where to go from here. Should I go further into folk, maybe? Bon Iver - For emma, forever ago Bonnie "Prince" Billy - I see a darkness The Mountain Goats - Tallahassee Bright Eyes - I'm wide awake, it's morning Nick Drake - Pink Moon There is lots of 'sad folk' but I think those albums/bands are the most like Smith

Admiral Crunch posted:Looking for some recs on lo-fi/garage/punk. I've been listening to the thermals a lot lately and i realized that i have a really sparse collection when it comes to this. Im looking for stuff from any decade, just stuff in the vein of the black lips, the thermals, titus andronicus, japandroids, etc. 'In the Red' is easily releasing the best garage/punk albums today, imo. Not all of the stuff is exactly what you're looking for, but i can't see why you would like most of them. http://www.intheredrecords.com/pages/bands.html my favs: the king khan and bbq show - s/t the almighty defenders - s/t (king khan + bbq + black lips) intelligence - icky baby (all their stuff is fantastic) the hunches - yes. no. shut it thee oh sees - help cheap time - s/t country teasers - satan is real again or feeling good about bad thoughts

Uncle Marx posted:I've been recommended the Red House Painters and Sparklehorse. Which would you consider their best album each? I don't want to use the last.fm "Top albums" lists because they tend to consist of mediocre albums with only a few standout singles. Spaklehorse I like Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot and It's a Wonderful Life equally but Vivadixie.. is probably a better album to start with. Red House Painters Their 1st s/t (aka rollercoaster) is consider their best by a lot of people but i prefer Down Colorful Hill
