Albums that heal. I'm going through some tough shit right now and I need those albums that give a healing vibe. It's hard to explain with words... But if you know, you know.

Catharsis-core?
>>53110437
Yes. That would be perfect.
This album helped me through some hard times
This is probably the best medicine.
The End Is Not The End by House of Heroes
listening to grouper is like going to sleep w/ your head in her lap while she tells you stuff is going to be ok
Try We Shall All Be Healed by the mountain goats
This definitely. Their debut has the same vibe aswell.
What're you going through OP? Telling us might help with recommendations.
>>53110508
My mom says I have to start cleaning my room and doing some chores. Shit sucks :(
You're not alone OP.
I'm currently going through an incredibly rough patch too and things seem to be closing in on me.
However if you like The Microphones and that album as much as me you should check out these:

The second one is a stretch but it's sad stuff. Maybe that's what you're looking for?
If you're going for a religious angle? Or not, these are just some sweet songs.
I wouldn't call this Catharsis-core but the music on this EP has a healing vibe to it, I would say.
This EP is sort of like a journey, which is why I like it so much. The opening track, Get Up, is (to me at least) about "getting up" and starting your journey. New beginnings, you know? The songs in the middle make you feel in different mindsets, basically thinking. New Theory has me in a state of bliss, Feel It All Around has me pondering everything that is troubling me and in a way, giving me a sense of 'release'. The closing track, You'll See It, is the end of your journey because - that's just it. You'll see it. You've had your session of critical thinking and you'll most likely reach an epiphany of some sort.
I hope all goes well, OP. I'm rootin' for you.
This beauty did a lot for me about this time last year. I still get extreme chills when I listen to What's Wrong, Half Gate, Speak in Rounds, Will Calls...
>>53110482
That hit close to home
Big time. I really miss this band, I hope they come back soon.

The Glow Pt. 2 just makes me want to sulk even more.
Mount Eerie is what makes me feel like I'm transcending time and space. The ultimate healer.
Nobody posted this one yet?
>>53110767
Just post their entire discography
>>53110360
I was just listening to The Microphones but I don't get them. I like i felt your shape, but i feel like i just have to listen to it more.
>>53110882
I feel the same about Glow pt. 2. I love the hell out of Mount Eerie but I think I need to give Glow pt. 2 another listen. Maybe while reading along to the lyrics this time.
>>53110696
This, and Giles Corey
Plus pretty much AnCo's entire discography
>>53110676
this might be a troll post, but this album seriously helped me a lot when I first found it my senior year of high school. i have very fond memories of riding my bike in the afternoon listening to this album, it was a very formative time in my life.
Hope everything turns out OK, anon.
>>53110508
OP here, thanks for all the recs. especially grouper, that's some really chill stuff.
Well, it might sound really stupid to you guys, but after I left high school I started feeling really weird. Like, I'm stuck in this boring, uneventful, desert of a city when I could be traveling the world instead of being stuck here. There's some much going on I'll never get to see.
Also, in my free time, I started reading a lot about metaphysical topics and philosophy stuff. Like how do we know that things exist outside of our own thoughts? The conscious mind is the only thing that surely exists, and that kind of gives me the spooks.
On top of all of this, I'm finding beauty in the world. All I want is someone who feels love as much as I do. I can't relate to my friends and they say I think too deep. I just want someone like that, that thinks about things. Forgive me for any grammatical and spelling errors, English is not my first language.
Anybody else feel the same way?
>>53110470
>Tfw my soul starts growing
>>53111038
I know what you mean. It's hard pretending my friends that I don't feel desperately alone all the time. Like you feel you shouldn't feel alone because there are people who care about you but in the core there's still nobody there.
Out of their three albums, I would say that this is the one that's done the most for me. I mean everything The RAA does really resonates with me but Departing came out during a pretty bleak period in my life when my dad passed away. He's the one that got me into music.

strong quads there
Departure Songs is the most healing album I've ever heard. It calms me down almost instantly. Ambient post-rock with tons of atmosphere and strings is a brilliant combination.

Not the style of feels of every other album here but all the lyrics are really really uplifting. Albeit a bit cheesy. Some fucking great feels on this

This album is a real life-saver.

>>53111038
sok, the post-highschool experience is polarizing for everyone i think. im torn between loving the shit out of my lifelong friends and being terrified that theyre slipping too far into drugs. 4 years of consistent psychedelic use can fuck you up, and those are the more harmless drugs that permeated around that environment.
anyway, here you go OP. this album is pretty /mu/core but it helped me through a fucking nasty breakup last year.
>>53111199
nice lucky nines
>>53111144
sweet quads
>>53111111
hahaha ha you got singles, delet e your post
LOSER
now suck my trips
>>53110676
>>53110945
I second this, this album has a very warm and comforting feeling to it and you'd be surprised how quickly it can put you in that positive mindset.
>>53111038
Honestly, OP, you should dip your toes into poetry. I don't know what your first language is, but the deep well of philosophy, truth, and serene emotion that is poetry might do you some good.
Perhaps try to find a translation of Fernando Pessoa's "Book of Disquiet". I went through a thing similar to you and that book altered me in great ways.

just one song, but it always manages to cheer me up when I'm down. It might be too silly tho.

this band and built to spill have some wierd effect on me where i feel like i'm somewhere else when listening to them. they're both really engrossing musically/lyrically and it's easy for me to get lost when i hear them.

lenses alien is my favorite album but they're all amazing. kinda progressive with not many hooks/choruses and really wierd lyrics
>>53111111
The Rural Alberta Advantage for sure. They are definitely a band you should be listening to when you are down, all that drumming will give you the strength to do anything in the world
Mended With Gold was my AOTY 2014. Good choice indeed

WHAT IS IT WITH THIS BAND
>>53110482
"I've been waiting for you to come gently to me"
>>53110945
not a troll post, I totally agree
>>53111111
Well, i feel Catharsis-core is, essentially, more of a very personal feeling. For me, it boils down to Post-rock and Drone/Doom.
OM deals with a lot of metaphysical themes. Reccomend you check this album out.
