@Zen, I don’t know how deep your music background goes. So here’s some new-ish stuff with your preferences in mind:
Real Estate, Days Deerhunter, Halcyon Digest (@Dancake loves this, with good reason) Destroyer, Kaputt D’Angelo, Black Messiah M83, Saturdays = Youth Okkervil River, The Stage Names Sturgill Simpson, Metamodern Sounds in Country Music Jenny Lewis, The Voyager And here’s some older stuff that you may not have heard but fit the bill: Tom Waits, Rain Dogs (I’m always stunned by how many of my friends have not listened to him) Bonnie “Prince” Billy, I See a Darkness Bruce Springsteen, Nebraska (unlike all other Springsteen) Belle & Sebastian, If You're Feeling Sinister Iggy Pop, The Idiot Television, Marquee Moon The Stone Roses, The Stone Roses Leonard Cohen, I’m Your Man Cocteau Twins, Heaven or Las Vegas The Jesus and Mary Chain, Psychocandy Echo and the Bunnymen, Heaven Up Here

"Time" off Rain Dogs has a legitimate stake in the best-songs-ever debate:

Okkervil River's Black Sheep Boy is my favorite album of all time. Stage names is probably better, qualitatively, but it's one of those deals where I listened to BSB so much in my high school days it has that nostalgic tint to it that I can't deny. Highly recommended.
Certain's correct about Halcyon Digest. Great album. If you like that, I'd get all of Deerhunter's albums but especially Microcastle which I think is their strongest. I used to favor HD but Microcastle is pretty perfect. Titus Andronicus' The Monitor is a great, great album. Anthemic. Great lyrics, good for drinking. A few songs on it are legitimate 10/10's. I'd recommend Joanna Newsome's Have One on Me (the latter half is really excellent melancholy music) and Vs. Any and all things by The Antlers. Hospice is the go to recommendation to start out with. I enjoy everything by them, though. If you like Father John Misty you might like Fleet Foxes. It's less personal folk, kind of twee. But they have some good songs and their Helplessness Blues is pretty solid throughout. Josh Tillman (Father John Misty) was their drummer and backup vocalist (I think?) before going solo. I wouldn't rate any of their work as highly as Honeybear. Fiona Apple's Idler Wheel is dope. Future of the Left's How to Stop Your Brain in an Accident has been one of my favorite albums released the past few years. It's nothing like the above rec's. Punk rockish, I guess. Great lyrics and grooves. Deafheaven's Sunbather is a dope metal album that'll make you sad and rage and stuff. PJ Harvey, Let England Shake Everything from The National, Sharon Van Etten Actor & Strange Mercy from St. Vincent. Vampire Weekend's Modern Vampires is a must. The Seer & To Be Kind by Swans are good if you're in the mood for being depressed and thinking nothing in life is worth anything at all. Crash course on Pavement & The Pixies can't hurt. Most everything by Pavement is cool, and everything by The Pixies is dope except their recent reunion album, which is garbage dick. Certain will disagree but the first Mars Volta album & At The Drive-In's Relationships of Command & Vaya EP are some dope guitar rock albums. LISTEN TO THE ROLLING STONES BECAUSE THEY'RE DOPE TOO.

I don't mind At the Drive-In, but it seems way too intense for our Zen friend.
Microcastle vs. Halcyon Digest is a lot like many of our musical differences (Okkervil River, The National, Chance The Rapper, The Antlers): You seem to prefer the earlier work and the more direct connection to the artist. |
