>interesting worldly percussion
>sensual + suicidal tone

>Moody and emotional chord progression
>Chilling melodies
>Passionate, pleasant vocals
>Preferrably acoustic
>Something you would listen to on a midnight cruise to think about all your regrets

I'd give all my thanks and sincere appreciation to anyone who could suggest an album like this

>>72521686
>lofi
>girls singing about fuckboys/being in your 20s/other relatable shit
>clever songwriting

>distant raw bedroom pop
>songs about heartbreak with lots of obscure personal references
>occasionally there are distorted guitar parts and ambient interludes

You literally described what i linked to the T imo, but it all comes down to taste in the end, you might hate it.

>>72524073
I dont understand half of the shit you say but whatever, Andy shauf is great; there's heartbreak, personal references, ambient interludes and the singer is a whiny bitch. But he aint scary.

Radiohead - In Rainbows

Sports - Sunchokers

>fusion of instrumental hip-hop and idm/ambient
>moody and introspective

>>72521686
>Heavy compression on all instruments except the drums, which have a huge bass boost.
>Empty compressed spaces filled with lots of strong vocals, gender doesn't matter
>Bizarre lyrics that make you feel like it's a Sunday morning and you're waking up from a slew of nightmares after 3 hours of sleep, with a deep headache behind your eyes to match the sentiment.
>Piano solo at the end

>Something with a story behind it, concept
>Good guitar riffs
>Not noise shit

Maybe Sea Change by Beck.
Very different than all his other stuff and all acoustic. Because he had just went through a huge break up.

>>72523846
Out Of Body by the Gorillaz pretty much hits all of this.

>>72523923
Bill Callahan - Dream River
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96xpXS3hbec

minimalistic instrumentation
sombre melodies and rythms
Lyrical themes about depression, addiction, loneliness, anxiety etc.

>Interesting guitar work and melodies
>Fast-paced with lots of energy
>Unique vocals
>Weird glitchy/noisy/etc electronic elements or samples or synths that blend well with the rest of the instruments

I've heard a few albums that come close (Emergency & I, Disco Inferno, the first Liars album) but none that really nail it

>>72525777
PiL?

>>72525915
Sweet Trip-Velocity:Design:Comfort

>>72521915
the new Deafheaven

>>72525934
V:D:C is one of my favorite albums of all time but it's not 100% there either
If Sweet Trip had more songs like Tekka and/or real drums alongside the glitch ones and/or were really into Gang of Four and Wire then that would be perfect

>Death Grips - Turned off, the album (no, jenny isnt it)

>>72525982
I love Tekka. It made me go listen to breakcore like Venetian Snares.. and this. Try this. The first track doesn't really cover everything though, so try the second and third

>>72525986
Lightning Bolt - Wonderful Rainbow?

I just want an album with the same dark, medieval folk sound that Comus - First Utterance has.

>kvlt black metal
>vocals similar to Varg's vocals on Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
>depressive, atmospheric and cold like winter
>no depressive black metal like Shining

>>72526019
Thanks for the rec Anon, I'll check it out.

>It made me go listen to breakcore like Venetian Snares
Fuck yeah I love Venetian Snares.
Vsnares/Autechre/Aphex are some of my favorite musicians of all time and I always wanted to hear some of their more frantic moments mixed with a really creative rock band like Battles or something

>>72526027
Try Current 93 - Thunder Perfect Mind

>ambient, atmospheric, heavy with vocal samples
>think Reich's Come Out or Peter Sotos' work, but can be more musical, though doesn't have to
>even interesting, obscure spoken word albums are fine

>>72526022
That's not bad, but the track I heard (2 Towers) wasn't exactly the same listening experience, if you get what I mean. It's not aggressive in the same way, and also it's purely instrumental? It's also pretty drawn out and repetitive, unlike TO's burst(s) of energy.

>>72526096
>Fuck yeah I love Venetian Snares.
Nice dude, hit me up with some more obscure breakcore recs then, if you like (and if you find what you're looking for). And tell me what you think when you hear it

>>72521686
>r&b/soul vocals
>funk instrumentals
>poppy melodies, so not deep funk
>chilled back and sexy vibe

think Redbone by Childish Gambino

>>72526152
I know what you mean.
If you like At The Drive In/other post-hardcore maybe try Drive Like Jehu - Yank Crime? Not really the same but lots of noisy guitars and explosive energy if that's your thing. I wish I could help more, Turned Off is definitely my favorite on that album

>>72526195
some old Stax records may be up your alley.

>mathy angular riffs
>red-era king crimson guitar tone
>long and complex song structures

>>72521915
not really melodic vocals but godflesh streetcleaner has really really good guitar tone with industrial drums and riffs
u probably know tho
>>72524073
ur just describing elliot smith
>>72524544
maybe bondage fruit - recit
>>72525915
sufjan stevens - age of adz

>emo
>can have twinkling, but not annoying constant twinkling that's not that catchy
>not soft like american football or empire empire, but still major key and not screamo
>good memorable songs

>>72526253
>At The Drive In
Did you hear? They are putting out a new project this year. This month, actually in a few days, I just checked... Havent listened to the new singles though. I'll check out your other rec in a bit

>>72526291
>bondage fruit - recit
Holy shit, you actually did it.
Thank you, and I'm very impressed.

>>72526291
>sufjan stevens - age of adz
Age of Adz whips ass great choice. Like that with more punk/energy/noisy guitars would be my dream album
You've probably already listened to Drive LIke Jehu - Yank Crime and Battles - Mirrored but those are all I can rec unfortunately. You could try Polvo but they're not really close to the guitar tone you want

>ur just describing elliot smith
shit you're right
>>72524073 try Roman Candle and Elliott Smith's s/t. If you're down with more distortion and rock then From A Basement On The Hill is basically exactly what you're looking for

>>72526389
glad u like it !
its one of my favourites because the guitars match KC red so well
the title track as well has such good drumming too
>>72526404
tried all those albums before - like them but aren't exactly what i wanted
hum maybe youd like melt banana - cell scape
just read ur description again and its pretty perfect
rly good guitar work
fast paced
most unique vocals in existance
loads of noissy glitchy electronics

>>72526461
I've actually been meaning to listen to Cell Scape for a while because I liked Fetch a lot. I'll check it out right now, thanks a bunch Anon. Sorry I couldn't give you something new

If you don't have a problem with whiny emo vocals, you might like Our Sunday Affairs.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKsokgQdUfE

>>72527448
Thanks for the recc, but didn't really dig Our sunday affairs

stoner doom that isn't an electric wizard clone
I'd love it if it has throat singing, but I imagine that this doesnt exist, so just unclean vocals will do
the thiccer the better obviously

ufomammut and yob perhaps?

no throat singing, but cool vocals imo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viatji__YX8

>>72527818
also, their tones are motherfucking godly.. seen both bands live and they are undeniably destructive, but also have a weird calm aura

>>72521686
Wire - Chairs Missing
Mission of Burma - Signals, Calls & Marches

>Medieval Sounding
>Power-Pop
>Lyrical topics covering a vast array of topics, from girls to surfing

d beat
riffs, like real ones not chords
harsh vocals
I don't give a shit about production as long as everything is audible/drums don't sound like putrid asscrack

>synths for days
>odd time signatures
>dissonant sounds
>rapidly changing from L to R channels
>really obvious porn samples

>>72525915
Nylithia - Hyperthrash

>>72528185
Peste Noire.

>folk
>preferably classic stuff, but not strictly
>soft vocals
>acoustic, but once again not strictly
like joan baez, dave van ronk, vashti Bunyan
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADN1lLEp3H0

>>72521686
so... the clash?

>sounds like ween
>but is actually a medieval band
>like, from 1440 or something

>>72521686
>pleasant, smooth melodies
>layered, lots of stuff going on, but no clashing, everything blends together nicely
>not instrumental
>simple, convential song structures, 4 minutes...etc

>>72528759

>must be comfy, but not lofi
>warm, gentle production

mount eerie - dawn
mount eerie - a crow looked at me
mount eerie - no flashlight
little wings - light green leaves
crywank - tomorrow is nearly yesterday and everything is stupid (yhis is the one that fits the most with what you want)

seu jorge - the life aquatic sessions (this are david bowie songs performed acoustically in portuguese, and they sound great, even david bowie himself praised the album)

>>72524576
if you dont mid acoustic stuff , check out mount eerie - dawn

>>72521686
The Sound - jeopardy

- analog synths
- vocals with character
- nice blend of acoustic and synthetic, leaning on synthetic
- funky, but not funk
- a lot of drone, sort of like how Mark Kozelek uses really subtle piano drones throughout Benji and Ocean Beach that are used to create a mood more than anything else

It's funny, I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I've become absolutely obsessed with albums that build up amazing melodies for some time, and then absolutely take a giant poopy shit all over everything great they just did, by putting something abrasive over it, cutting it short, or having lyrics detailing the process of ordering a fuckton of food at a toilet smelling taco joint. That's pretty vague, so my lists end up including everything beteen Ween, Pharoah Sanders, Simon Finn, Zappa, Bauhaus, along with most post-punk and every spiritual jazz artist.

Crazy instrumentation is gud too

I don't think this is what you had in mind at all, but maybe OPN - Sticky Drama

>well produced
>heavy bass sound
>moody and introspective lyrics
>long wordless sections
>less prominent (but not practically inaudible) vocals
>singer has good voice

>>72530912
Not everything you said, but maybe try Citizen's Youth. It's well produced, has a heavy bass sound, that kinda lyrics, and a good singer.

Rap that's clever, but not to meta in terms of rap culture. Something that the average joe could listen to and actually hear the verse. But with a sick beat.

Something like Gambino, but old school stuff like The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy is cool too

Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska

>>72521686
Try Blitzkid.

>basically like Slint but not Slint

>>72521686
I'd say Dillinger Four has all these traits

>Hip-hop with primary focus on experimental and musically complex instrumentals, with little to no focus on the lyrical content, the actual vocals being used more like an instrument than anything. More like Niggas on the Moon, pretty much.

it sounds like these guys tried to imitate Slint without trying to understand what makes Slint so special

>>72535377
Nah I wouldn't say that at all. Jeff Mueller and Sean Meadows' approach to guitar greatly differs from Brian McMahan, Britt, and David Pajo's. Engine Takes To Water is completely devoid of any sort of solo unlike Spiderland, (Breadcrumb Trail, Washer). Spiderland also lacks the lullaby like guitar plucks present on the first track Have A Safe Trip, Dear. The lyrics for said track are also more surrealistic than anything on Spiderland. Jeff Mueller's vocals are also more booming and loud than Brian's or Britt's. The differences goes on and it gets to a point where you wonder why you made the comparison at all.

teen suicide - waste yrself

anything from those artists fits it, but those albums are what i recommend. teen suicide also has punk-ish elements

>>72536131
Not anon you answered.
I love Sam ray's music, but I've always preferred his softer songs. Like Teen suicide's softer songs, Starry cat and Julia Brown. They're all like sad soft bedroom pop with different elements to them.
