I am in desperate need of new music for inspiration. I feel like I am at this point in my music journey where most bands just aren't doing it for me. Hopefully you guys can help me out. I am a huge fan of escapism themes. My favorite band is sky sailing (owl city but with acoustic driven music). The atmosphere it creates is musical but does not drag on and on like a lot of things today. The atmosphere acts more as an effect than the feature of the music. More importantly the vocals are pop sounding. Are there any bands out there with a similar feeling as this? I will link a perfect example of what I am talking about. Any recommendation is appreciated.

This is a complete stab in the dark, but check out The Free Design's albums.

Take a thirty second listen and if you don't like it then move on to something else bud

Thanks for the recommendation. Nice music but not really what I am looking for.

Appreciate that man. To be honest this is usually the kind of recommendations I get but its too folk for my taste. Especially when compared to my example.

You're not much of an underground person are you? Hell I don't know if I got stuff that isn't underground now that I think about it. /mu/'s an echochamber of KPop and other degenerate shit though so at least you're one of a kind here

I mean sky sailing isn't exactly mainstream but it does have a pop sound in terms of production and vocals.
God damn if those aren't the faggiest vocals I've heard yet. Frankly I can only feel repulsion so I can't really relate to what you're looking for. Yeah I'm being rude but you most definitely can't find other similar stuff for a reason.
I've no idea what you meant by

Try these though:

No offence taken. To each their own. As long as I like it I don't really care what other think. By atmosphere being more of an effect I mean that it's something in the background that adds spice to the song rather than being the main entree (like most stuff today).
The example you are providing have bits a pieces of what I like about the band but as a whole sound "hipster" and "pretentious". Not trying to be rude but that is the association. Thanks for at least responding!

Huh, interesting preferences you've got here.
I feel like you really need to open up to new stuff.
>>72706897
The vocals were faggy, yeah I'd have to agree with that.
ATTENTION TO ALL IN THIS THREAD: I only recommended AJJ because he's SJW I don't like his shit
>>72707035
I'm trying. I like what I like and I don't like what I don't like. I am only pointing you toward the direction I like right now. Otherwise this whole thread is just a shot in the dark.
