Nazareth posted:Hey, to each their own. What's your type of music, good person? Ideally it should be good, and also shouldn't rely entirely on obnoxious 80s nostalgia references. Like it's fairly obvious that none of these synthwave dudes care about actual 80s synth music, it's just empty signifiers.

CLAM DOWN posted:I tried on my phone/earbuds as well, and it's the same. You should probably consider changing that because it's completely unlistenable (is that a word), but hey it's your ~*~artistic choice~*~ I guess It's not really unlistenable unless you want to know exactly what he's saying all the time.

It's fine for lyrics to be unintelligible, they're not that important.

CRINDY posted:counterpoint: an arcade fire song intended to prevent teen suicide is pretty obviously going to be as blatant and direct as possible. i really like the song, especially the second verse and the "it's not painless / she was a friend of mine" bridge. it's clear the band lost someone close to them along the way and while it's not a perfect song, it has an impact on people struggling with depression and who may have overcome suicidal thoughts at one point (such as myself) if you really wanted to prevent teen suicide then having them listen to arcade fire sounds like a terrible idea

ricecult posted:Sorry, I think that phrase has more connotations than I assumed, I just meant that it has a lot of both electronic (synths, drum machines, recording manipulation) and acoustic (acoustic guitar, drums, live performance). yeah i think you should use a different word, because I assumed it was like super academic music(e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroacoustic_music) and was wondering what it was doing in the indie thread.

There's plenty of contemporary prog bands, they just have nothing to do with indie rock.

And it wasn’t even like Spirit They’ve fine style drone it was just bad. Really sucked and pissed me off That sounds way cooler than if they had played songs, to me

its hosed up that theres a band of presumably young people who decide to play music like led zeppelin instead of something cool

The only thing I've ever accomplished from saying "I don't like this thing other people like" unsolicited is annoying the people who do like it. Actually, annoying people is cool

turnip kid posted:If you’re into very good songwriting and music deeply indebted to the 60s British psych-folk greats, you can’t do better than Hollow Hand’s Star Chamber. For my own taste, it’s the best album of the year. It’s not just an album of unoriginal pastiche; it sounds like the genuine document. I am in love with this band. Sorry, I'm only into very bad songwriting
