Can people recommend me acoustic-y blues/indierockish music with great proggy acoustic guitar playing, and earnest boys singing their hearts out? Happy or sad songs, it doesn't matter. But. Hmm. Like if you were to cross scale the summit or cloudkicker or the really crazy shredding bits from between the buried and me. And take that technical proggy guitar skill and make it acoustic. Then combine it with, say, the earnest and heartbreaking singing sensibilities of tegan and sarah, or the silent comedy, or aa bondy, or something. That's the band I want you to recommend to me. Yeah. Proggy Folk/Bluegrass Heartbreak. That's my jams. edit: Maybe what I'm really saying is, recommend me Tool, but not Tool, and also if you can make it acoustic, that'd be the dopest?

I've really hit a huge rut with my music knowledge/rotation/whatever lately, and I'd really like to get back to expanding and finding new stuff to listen to. I'm pretty broad in my tastes, but I'll try and link a few songs in the styles that I like here (I don't know too much about genre classification, so I might be way off on some of this) Hip Hop Cunninglynguists https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCTYEl9jQuI Brother Ali https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ScPoBEFl1Y Gangstagrass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyCrgQdXUb4 I also like MGK's polish/delivery, the production values on a lot of Kanye's stuff, Wu Tang, and a good bit of Jay-Z. I really haven't branched out too much, though, and I'd like to change that. EDM-ish Madeon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHs99iVpnXU (I really like this, but I've had a hard time finding something else with this sound) Ratatat: I really like their early stuff and their remix albums, I almost feel like they were made for more of a hip hop sound) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WW8VmSfYLAU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64liF2VuLxI RJD2: I really love the sound of the two songs I'll link here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lp-xN-o6W90 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czuteahWBNM I was also on a big BMSR/Tobacco kick for a while, but I tend to gravitate more toward the more upbeat, groove-based stuff like I linked here. Blues/Rock I put those two together since that's the sort of sound I really like most. Black Keys: early stuff, especially their first album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZJLi0f0ZIA Kings of Leon: big disclaimer in that I really only liked the sound of Youth and Young Manhood, then tried to talk myself into liking everything after that (I didn't) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VtRM9HgTjI Robert Johnson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MCHI23FTP8 Basically, I like a lot of guitar sound, a little stripped down, preferably with a Southern or bluesy feel. I tried The Weeks, but it just didn't scratch the itch for me, and after that, I've just been kind of blindly feeling my way around. Other bands I've liked in that same vein have been the White Stripes (but really hit or miss), the Raconteurs, and even Taddy Porter's first album (I regret nothing, gently caress you). Old style/folk/I really don't know what the gently caress to call this Old Crow Medicine Show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33lfmCgxdAw Trampled by Turtles: I actually found these guys thanks to aimlessly reading 20-30 pages of this thread in the hopes of blindly finding something I liked, thanks thread! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xjdkc14-zwQ The Tallest Man On Earth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wa3lyo_Eowc Grayson Capps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wUTXGjx85I (it's impossible to find a version of this song that's not live, sorry) Another thing I've really liked is this Dutch project that has a bunch of artists get together in this cabin powered by a gas generator out in the middle of nowhere and record their favorite songs, which spans from old hymns to old 60s folks songs, found here. I had a while where I got really big into Stax soul, too. I know this is really aimless and scattershot, but the problem is I feel like I've worked myself into a little corner musically where I'm comfortable, and now that it's getting stale, I don't really have any idea where to go. Really, any help at all would be appreciated. Emron fucked around with this message at 09:01 on Apr 15, 2013 |

So, if I've spent the last 3 months falling in love with The Mountain Goats, should I just be happy that John Darnielle has made so much loving music, or is there somewhere else I should go? I know about the side projects, the Extra Glenns and everything, but are their other acts that will compare with his lyrics and passion?

Been listening to a tonne of TMG ever since he was on WTF with Marc Maron. It was a really interesting interview and he did a few songs at the end. Jumped straight into The Sunset Tree and 'splashed' around from there. John Darnielle is amazing. Basically a heartfelt +1 to this question.

Funny, I've been on a TMG kick lately and was just talking to my brother (who is a huge fan, has all the cassettes and poo poo) about similar artists. Unfortunately, we couldn't come up with much. Jeff Mangum/Neutral Milk Hotel has a similar intensity and immediacy, but lyrically is very different, and the Kinks have some concept albums that tell stories in a sort-of-similar fashion, but they don't sound the same at all. There is some John Vanderslice that I think comes close, maybe try checking him out?

So I've spent the last day repeatedly listening to the eponymous album by Roomful of Teeth. It's experimental a capella that spans a wide range of what is possible with the human voice, and I just love it. I especially enjoy the more choral-sounding parts, and am looking for something similar that's contemporary yet classic-sounding. I'm not as into the Einstein-on-the-Beachy talking-over-talking parts (although I am a big fan of a lot of Philip Glass's work), and am really looking for something with little to no lyrics, but at this point I'd rather cast a wide net and find anything vaguely similar than rule anything out too early. Here's a song I particularly like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aJF5uoU7fI Thanks in advance!

Worst case, John Darnielle will surely keep making music until the day he dies. Amusingly, I picked up my first Neutral Milk Hotel album just last week and my first thought was that some of it sounded a bit like the Mountain Goats.

John Vanderslice is a good rec. He produced We Shall All Be Healed, and Darnielle has worked on some of Vanderslice's material. They released a collaborative EP called Moon Colony Bloodbath that might make a good introduction, if only because if you don't like Vanderslice's songs at least you'll get a couple Mountain Goats tunes out of it. Franklin Bruno is Darnielle's collaborator on the Extra Glenns/Lens. I don't remember which other songs he wrote, but "How I Left the Ministry" is his lyrics and music and that's one of my favorites from Undercard. I'm not much of an expert on his material, but he's released stuff under his own name and with the bands Nothing Painted Blue and the Human Hearts. You can check out a pretty good Human Hearts EP on bandcamp: http://thehumanhearts.bandcamp.com/album/flag-pin-ep Casiotone for the Painfully Alone (don't discount them based on the name) has a similar songwriting style, I think. Generally short story-based songs with some really incisive lyrics. His stuff doesn't tend to be as uplifting as tMG and he's not as excitable as a singer but definitely worth checking out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLNujNUCYds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qdtYCr2VPA Nina Nastasia was recommended to someone else not along ago and maybe it's just me but her writing also reminds me of Darnielle's. Like Casiotone, she's not as much about yelling as Darnielle but her voice is gorgeous so maybe you'll be ok. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1eOUAtUWDk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9t4pJ9Mca_A And last, I assume you know the Hold Steady? It's rock rather than folk, and the lyrics are written in a different style but thematically are pretty close at times. Craig Finn is the only one of these recs who is as exuberant a singer as Darnielle. Also they are friends. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbZ1SEy_wxk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFiiq2sFD7E The Mountain Goats are my favorite band and there's really no one exactly like them. I think he's the best guy working right now. And you're right, he's insanely prolific which means he will write songs forever and also that there are a million songs in his back catalogue that are still waiting to be discovered, so you will have a lot of fun with them.

Posted this maybe a year ago and got some helpful responses, but nothing exactly on point. Can anyone recommend any music similar to Aztec Camera's High Land, Hard Rain? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibKTlG5tbjo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFaa2L9B7n4 King Krule / Zoo Kid is kind of close, but doesn't really use full band arrangements: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XJQXH_cmcY http://zookid.bandcamp.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9wLrAtcd6Y I like Prefab Sprout (sometimes similar in the use of 7th chords/arrangements/fast/syncopated rhythms), but again, somewhat different. I also like jangle pop, but I am already well acquainted with a ton of those bands, so I am looking for something a little more specifically like the above album (even Roddy Frame himself didn't really go on to make albums like that later in his career). There's gotta be some DIY band out there, even with only a Bandcamp page, that's trying to make music like this.

No, she doesn't sound like Darnielle, but I could certainly see someone who enjoys tales of fringe/outsider/damaged types enjoying her music. Not my favorite album of hers, but lyrically Run to Ruin might be the best starting point coming from TMG.

I've been listening to Colin Stetson a lot recently. Judges was probably my favorite album of 2011, and I've really been digging the NPR stream of To See More Light. However, when I look for "similar artists", last.fm gives me mostly other indie artists who are riding some kind of experimental zeitgeist, and AllMusic has what might be a decent list, but I have no idea where to start. I dig the idea of experimental jazz that has a little more composition and a little less chaotic squawking to it, if that helps or makes any sense.alcoholiday posted:Posted this maybe a year ago and got some helpful responses, but nothing exactly on point.

Awesome, thanks so much. I didn't know that How I Left the Ministry wasn't John's either, which gives me a lot of hope for checking out these recs later tonight. It's really been a ridiculous few months. I think I've still only listened to about 1/3 of Mountain Goats songs, from what I can tell, but he really does seem like one of the best working musicians. When I found out the dates for their next tour, I grabbed tickets for both of their Chicagoland shows, as I have to assume that TMG live shows are possibly the most cathartic thing in existence.
