Femur posted:I recently found Emilíana Torrini, and I was wondering if there are any similar artists out there. I just really found all her albums to be very enjoyable and love her voice and just her sound I guess. I especially liked the Fisherman's Woman and Love in the Time of Science albums. You might like Belleruche, Regina Spektor, Emily Wells, Martina Topley-Bird, Andreya Triana. Jadz posted:Sounds a little spergy, I guess, but I like good metal music that I can understand, not just madness set to music. You might like some of the post metal out there: Isis, Mouth of the Architect, Year of No Light, Tides from Nebula, Kollwitz, Waters Deep Here.

screaden posted:I'm looking for some artists who perform with pretty much only piano and voice, with a little classical tinge. Regina Spektor and Rufus Wainwright are similar to what I'm looking for, but waaaay stripped back to just the piano. Preferably with a darker, more melancholy tone. Antony and the Johnsons, though his voice needs getting used to - Hope there's someone. You also should definitely check out Soap&Skin - Thanatos. Besides that I can only think of perhaps Diana Krall (although it might be to jazzy). - A request: I truly enjoy The Books, where their music is rather coherent and not too "artistic" (think rather "Take Time", "Free Translator" than "Venice" or "That Right Ain't poo poo"). Of anything similar I know: l'Homme Puma (only a couple of songs sound like them though - and it's post-rock / screamo / wtf ;/), Animal Collective, Panda Bear (though their music is too lively, or fast for my taste), also Octopus Project, (which, apart from one song, sound definitely different, though is listed as one of the closest matches on last.fm). So - I'm looking for slow music with a load of samples.

Sad Mammal posted:The above tracks strike me as vaguely similar to World's End Girlfriend. I know and even listen to World's End Girlfriend, though his music doesn't strike me as too similar, I don't know. Thumbs up though for Zammuto - I didn't know that he started doing a solo project of his own, and the resemblence between the electronica part of Books and this is uncanny, going to check him out more (it's a shame he dropped the recordings, because this + some more melody + people talking =  ).

I like the more ambient-style stuff I've heard, ideally what I'm lookin for would sound like a mix of xasthur, sunn o))), lustmord, and I don't know, boards of canada maybe? Thanks! Besides already mentioned Nadja I would add Swans and Jesu. Amdis posted:I'm looking for music along the lines of Emancipator/Nujabes/Quantic, just more chill out music with a jazzy/hip-hop beat to it. You probably listened to Bonobo, so I'll recommend the same things as in Emancipator thread (but I would assume new trip-hop / downtempo bands should suit your needs as well): Metaform, Glen Porter, Opgave, Eskmo, Epic45, Dirty Elegance, The New Law. As for jazzy bit I can recommend: Berry Weight, (maybe a stretch) Arms and Sleepers and Hidden Orchestra.

Does this make sense? you're probably looking for K.C. Accidental, as this is the band Broken Social Scene grew from and the sound of KCA is evident in most of their post-rockish songs. Besides that the only similar band I can think of is Dirty Three.

Brace posted:Michael Frank - Lotus Blossom Let's see - right now it would be classified as new weird america, so I can recommend: The Oaks, Calexico, Iron & Wine, Plants & Animals, Destroyer. But, if you're looking for some relaxing music I would take into account either some post rock - Do, Make, Say, Think, Balmorhea, Dancing Beggar, or some drone - Stars of the Lid. I used to find good folk bands on KUT, but now can't get the grasp of the new design - so here's a youtube search. unpurposed posted:I'm really into artists like Amon Tobin and pretty much everyone under the Ninja Tune label. However, I'm not really sure how to classify the music that they make. I've heard Amon Tobin primarily called a DnB artist but others disagree. Take a look at Flying Lotus - though I'm not a fan of it, it's in similar veins as Amon Tobin. Besides that I'd say that every glitch/trip-hop artist lands under the wings of either Ninja Tune, or Warp, so, already mentioned Aphex Twin, but also Gonja Sufi, Prefuse 73, Autechre. You might also check Ous Mal edit: forgot to mention - thanks to the person that mentioned Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - it's a great listen. canis minor fucked around with this message at 14:00 on Jul 2, 2011 |

Sad Mammal posted:I've been on an Animal Collective tear lately, and I'd like to find something similar. What I like most is the "fun" folk/tribal vibe I get on tracks like "Tantrum Barb","Brother Sport", and the latter half of "Derek". I also like most of the outright folk they do, such as all the tracks on Campfire Songs and Winters Love. So, something that sounds less technical and more along the lines of a group of good friends banging/wailing on things. I haven't quite found what I'm looking for, though The Dodos do come pretty close. You should take a look at what Beta Band was doing, and what The Aliens are now continuing. You probably already heard Grizzly Bear and Panda Bear, so maybe some - Fleet Foxes, Bowerbirds, Telekinesis. What is your stand on The Shins?

HateTheInternet posted:Are there any good post-rock or mathrock bands out there with heavy emphasis on string instruments or mallet percussion? Orchestral instruments, I guess, as opposed to rock instruments. I would say that Amiina and Esmerine are what you're looking for - Amiina use a lot of glockenspiel, glass harp, bells, violins and other riff-raff, Esmerine is mainly marimba / cello. Later on you can take a look at Bell Orchestre (a lot of bells, trumpets, cellos), older Efterklang, Dirty Three (violin, electric guitar, percussion), Balmorhea (guitars, cello, violin, banjo, drums), Black Ox Orkestar in that order, and if you grow bored I can recommend more. I Love You! posted:I've been digging Regina Spektor lately, both the vocals/overall sound and the general content of her songs. Where are some good places to go from her to get more like this or at least evocative of it? Specifically, her vocal style appeals to me, but I'll take any recommendations. I've grown fond of Laura Veirs, and I must say that she plays similarly with her voice, maybe Emiliana Torrini - although she sounds definitely bjorkish.

Lavender Philtrum posted:I really like Caravan Palace (Link, link), which is best described as 'Electroswing'. I also really enjoyed the Analogik album that I got ahold of. Here's a track that most exemplifies the kind of thing I like. You should check out Parov Stelar - he tends to go more in the direction of electronica, than swing, but I find his work enjoyable. You can also take a look at Waldeck - his work is more trip-hop / jazz, but swing is there as well.

Conduit for Sale! posted:I'm looking for some drone/ambient music similar to Tim Hecker, Belong, Fennesz, Stars of the Lid, etc. but darker. Basically, I started reading Blood Meridian and none of my normal reading music is bleak enough. Labradford, Pan American, The Dead Texan, Loscil, Aix Em Klemm - having said that, I think Labradford / Aix Em Klemm would mostly suit your needs as they're definitely less optimistic than Stars of the Lid, slower than Fennesz, quieter than Tim Hecker. There's 1 Mile North (which I also recommend, if you're not offed by speech samples), but if anything I'd say the collaboration they did with Colophon & Wind Up Bird - Conduction, Convention, Radiation comes close as well.

Martytoof posted:Definitely a big Portishead fan so I already delve into trip-hop, I think the thing about Air is that they have a quiet pop-ish sound to their downtempo stuff. It's so maddeningly hard to articulate what makes Air "Air" other than that. They're very French I'd recommend Blue States, Telepopmusik and Tycho. You might also be interested in old Royksopp sound. If you'll enjoy Morcheeba, there's a lot more of trip-hop sound out there (Zero 7, Cinematic Orchestra, The Dining Rooms to name a few)

Currently I can't get Django Django - Default out of the loop. Is there more music like it (and quite frankly what genre would you call this)? I'm already familiar with Beta Band, The Aliens and Caribou. And unrelated, second request - are there any bands you can recommend that use harmonica (but are not restricted to it)? Mainly I'd be interested with something akin to Moriarty, but no country please.

I want some face melting accordion, and banjo and cello all at once. I'm thinking like O'Death the cd Broken Hymns or Gogol Bordello. Again I'll recommend Beirut and DeVotchKa (they're calmer than Gogol Bordello though you might like them). Additionally - Goran Bregović, Emir Kusturica & The No Smoking Orchestra, Balkan Beat Box, Kultur Shock, Manu Chao. Blazing Ownager posted:I'm looking for a bit of an odd recommendation, because it's a genre I really like and is rare as all hell: "Updated" Spaghetti Western music, mixed with another genre - most often rock, metal or industrial overtones but I'm pretty open. Take a look at what The New Law are doing - it's wild west oriented downtempo / electronica, so it might be what you're searching after (or it might not, as when I put on LA soundtrack I'd think you should listen to some instrumental NIN, especially taking into account industrial overtones, idk). For more traditional (this time post rock wibe) cowboy sound there's Valley of Giants.

Taeke posted:Having rediscovered Sigur Ros a month ago and watching We Bought A Zoo this evening, I realised that I have a craving for more such music. I already know the Sigur Ros frontman has his own project as Jónsi. I don't know all that much about music. Hell, I don't even know what to call the genre. They're labeled as post-rock, but I'd differ with this classification, especially taking into account their latest album (+ Jónsi's "solo" work). The best bet to find music similar to Sigur Rós is within Iceland: Amiina (which for some time was a supporting group for Sigur Rós), Ólafur Arnalds, Stafrænn Hákon, Múm. Additionaly I'd recommend Ef, The Album Leaf and Álfheimr. As such there's lots of bands playing post-rock, but none implementing Jónsi's vocals (well - on the other hand this is a gimmick of Sigur, and even Alfheimr, though trying to find it's own voice, is pushing my buttons because of this) - if you're interested, you can take a look at some similar (post rock) groups, to name a few: Yndi Halda, Eluvium, Esmerine, Tracer AMC, Deaf Center, Helios, Hands of Templar, Immanu El, James Blackshaw, Her Name Is Calla. foastwab posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSfncSgAk7E The last time I've listened to Department of Eagles they were playing folk (but that was in their beginnings[?] at route 61) - as such, thanks for this, as they've definitely improved their repertoire moving towards folktronica. Still I'm not good at naming genres, so off to similar: Bowerbirds, Dirty Projectors (but that's more along Animal Collective...), The Dodos, Fleet Foxes?

While I don't listen to screamo, I found this album to be nicely balanced between electronica, pop and the aforementioned yelling. Are there any other bands that do similar stuff? Looking at last.fm gives me as top similar (from what I recognize) Team Sleep, Everything is Made in China, which sound nothing alike, and Daniel Anderson's Glowbug which is Idiot Pilot's Wolves gone surf rock/glam/weird.

Haven't heard earlier about Bohren & der Club of Gore, but I see it will visit my playlist soon. I'm more familiar with two others though, thus - let's begin with Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation (while being an alter-ego of Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble I've encountered people that know of one, but not the other), Skalpel, Off the Jazz Street (definitely less noir), Kammerflimmer Kollektief (definitely more livelier and energetic). There's also Deaf Center (post-rock piano in the same mood), Arms and Sleepers(which I found to be similar to Hidden Orchestra and quite enjoyable), Portico Quartet (electronic and, again, faster).
