Looking for newer stuff inspired by melodramatic, atmospheric stuff from the 90s like the Sneaker Pimps. I dunno if it's trip hop or trip pop exactly.

I particularly like their Bloodsport album, which I understand wasn't as lauded as their previous work.

If you haven't heard them before, check out IAMX. That's the project the singer on that track started after Sneaker Pimps broke up.

(Sneaker Pimps recently got back together, btw, but I don't think they've released anything yet.)

Hooverphonic sounds pretty close. Maybe a little more poppy and less gritty than Sneaker Pimps/Portishead/Massive Attack.

Morcheeba is still putting out some pretty good stuff.

What are some good albums like Hot Rats by Frank Zappa? Jazz fusion, mostly instrumental, heavy emphasis on guitar. Peaches En Regalia is my favorite from that album.

I don't need more Frank Zappa recommendations, though.

Al di Meola is guitar-heavy fusion. I like Elegant Gypsy (which is not heavy all the way through but Race With the Devil on a Spanish Highway is a facemelter) and Land of the Midnight Sun.

I've listened to both those albums so much that I'm trying to move on. I missed out on albums form the 00s because I was into critically acclaimed bands, from Fugazi as #1 of all time all the way down. But I'm looking for low brow music I missed out on, like Good Charlotte, except Good Charlotte sucks except for maybe 2 songs.

So far I really like Chiodos and AFI. I have Alexisonfire - Watch Out and it seems like it fits. Was relistening to mewithoutYou and I didn't like it back then and it still doesn't stick with me. Finch is good, From First to Last, From Autumn to Ashes. That's probably good enough to ride around like a kid with long black straightened hair girl jeans and a black band hoodie.

How about the first New Found Glory album? I remember hearing it described as "hardcore with training wheels" and its pretty crunchy and catchy. The lyrics are naff though and I believe one of the members was also outed as an abuser too, however.

And I definitely prefer their second and third album over the first but the first is fine and the single released two years ago is great. It never fails; I find out about a band and they're on hiatus/radio silence. :negative:

Also I am aware of and own various albums from King Gizzard, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, and Tame Impala, but if any one has any specific Tame Impala recs I wouldn't be opposed to those too as I haven't dove super deep into them.

Maybe a little fuzzier than youre looking for but I'd highly reccomend Mount Carmel and Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats for "modern bands with 70s psych sounds"

If you’re open to fuzzier psych, the stoner/sludge/doom thread is a great place for suggestions.
I really like that jangly Byrds-esque stuff that Temples does but I never came across much more of it. Turtle Skull has similar vocals and they’re fantastic.

I haven't zipped through the S/D/S thread in a while, generally because most of what's posted is real slow crushing doom, and I am a picky bitch. Have a similar problem with the general metal thread too because I am an idiot, but that's besides the point. I'll add the Byrds and Turtle Skull to my eight million open tabs right now though.

The s/d/s thread moves at the pace of most doom and even though it always cycles back to matt pike, I see good recs for tangential stuff in there. It's a no judgement zone for off-topic requests.
Temples has gotten a bit fuzzier than their first album, which I didn't realize. I think Turtle Skull's album Monoliths is actually really close to their current sound.

Maybe it's time to fold psych back into S/D/S since the psych spinoff thread didn't make it very far? It feels drat hard to find good psychedelic and fuzzy guitars music since it's get folded into the useless modern umbrella labels of indie/alternative rock. And hey I have the bandcamp page open for Monoliths right now. Progess!

Probably obvious but Steely Dan meets most of the criteria IMO. More conventional/poppy than Zappa, but still

Also the Flecktones rec was a good one, and honestly early Phish too though for the latter none of their studio albums will sound at all like Zappa so it's kind of a can of worms if you're willing to explore their live catalog

It’s reminiscent of a couple of songs on meddle, or at least it’s like it’s taking parts from a couple of songs and mashing them together. So if you haven’t heard meddle you can try it, but I assume you’ve heard that one.

How about Starless by king crimson? It’s not nearly as uptempo but has the spacey part. What about MGMT’s second album? It’s Working is kinda similar

I’ve been hearing some new song by Lord Huron on the radio a lot lately that is very dreamy and kind of psych pop.

Some of Thievery Corporation’s stuff, especially recently fits the bill. Especially a lot of their songs featuring Lou Lou Gelichkhani. The Cosmic Game has a few tracks like that as well.

I was also thinking of Meddle, specifically the opening song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48PJGVf4xqk

It also reminds me of a few Robyn Hitchcock songs:

Or Modern Guilt era Beck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oy1z29G2pk
You might also like what Beck did on Hyperspace, although it's even poppier.

i get why people say floyd, and i think it's mainly the pipe organ that gives people that feeling, but i think the chord progression is very un-floyd. i think it actually sounds more like Mew. Not exactly, but definitely similar. You might be into them if you're looking for dream-pop sound.

e: i would say start with the album "And the Glass-handed Kites" and move to "No More Stories"

Some of their material I’d call blues rock, or at least inspired by blues rock. Specific to Meddle and the op’s request though, the songs I’d recommend are Echoes and One Of These Days, neither of which are particularly blues rock inspired. If he wanted just old school psychedelia, the early singles and first two albums are fun. I’m not coming up with a track there that sounds particularly like that flaming lips song though. Maybe Astronomy Domine or Interstellar Overdrive?

Absolutely. Gilmour does so much with just pentatonic scales. His composition and phrasing does so much to define the Floyd sound, but the foundations are still largely in the blues.

That's true, but specifically with Gilmour, he's a huge student of blues.

They even do some direct blues songs:

While I wouldn't call Pink Floyd a blues band, they absolutely have blues tones in Gilmour's guitar.
