You got me curious, $1500 if you shot it in 16mm and got it right the first time. It's about 5k for 400 ft which is like 10 minutes run time.

I've only started listening to pop and indie recently after picking up Magdalena Bay, Yeule, Carly Rae Jepsen's latest album, and boygenius and related acts like late last year so if anyone's got recommendations on where to explore in any of those directions that'd be dope. I like listening to entire albums but singles are alright too.

Charli XCX (if you like more traditional pop start with Crash but if you like weirder glitchier hyperpop start with Pop 2 or how I’m feeling now)
Rina Sawayama (start with Sawayama)
Lorde (start with Melodrama)
Muna (start with their self-titled)
Sky Ferreira (Everything is Embarassing EP/Night Time, My Time)
PinkPantheress (first album Heaven Knows came out 6 months ago)
Sophie (Oil of Every Pearl’s Un-Insides)

If you’re willing to listen to some KPop that fits in with all that, NewJeans should be your first stop.

If you like boygenius, Phoebe Bridgers (one of the boygenii) had an album a few years ago called Punisher that was basically at or near the top of basically everyone's year end list. It's loving fantastic.

I’ve been picking up suggestions from this thread for a while, my Bandcamp has a bunch. A few standouts, Ariane Roy, Beach Bunny, Chloe Jara-Buto, Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter, Klô Pelgag, Viviane Audet, Mellie, Balm, Acht Eimer Huhnherzen, Work Wife, Camilla Sparksss, die Neue Sachlichkeit, Erregung Öffentlicher Erregung.

I should just create a playlist with my best of from this thread. I also think I remember someone who was adding suggestions people posted here to a Spotify playlist? If I haven’t fabricated that memory, I wouldn’t mind following it if anyone has the link.

The albums Loser, Superstar and The Art of Forgetting by Caroline Rose. 'Art' in particular is a masterpiece of song writing. The other two are nearly perfect pop albums

I think that Roy Chukwuemeka Nnawuchi aka Dean Blunt may be one of the most talented persons living that I'm aware of. He doesn't really top my list in any one style but boy does he seem to do it all and do it well.

Just a taste: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71440F93Etw

I sometimes go 'woah' when I learn that a song in a show or movie was by him or that he contributed to a certain project. Because it can be like nothing I'd associate with him. Except for the fact that it's a thing and he does everything.

I'm curious if anyone wants to suggest some lyrical indie rock/pop/folk.

I don't mean the focus is just singing over simple chords. The lyrics may not be even be the best part.

Just that they're not an afterthought and instead are chosen to be meaningful or at least poetic in the way a poet choses words i.e. not just because they happen to rhyme or sound cool or relate to the title.

Think Elliott Smith or Joanna Newsom both for an idea of what I mean and how varied the music itself could be.

Jason Isbell is one of the best lyricists alive in the folk/americana tradition. The entirety of Southeastern is a poetic masterpiece.

I'm going to suggest, as always, some Scottish bands.

Frightened Rabbit an amazing band that I feel doesn't get the international recognition they deserve.

Then Hamish Hawk, current band in that Chamber Pop, Baroque Indie kinda space, up tempo, lyrically interesting.

Arab Strap have always had good lyrics but the last album and the one coming up might be up your street.

Glasgow has a real synth pop thing going on but for some reason that's all indie as well so try out Lucia and the Best Boys.


I could put a hundred Irish bands here as well but I'll just call out CMAT, good song writer, catchy songs.

Don’t think I’ve seen Camilla Sparksss mentioned here before, she’s got a bunch of interesting stuff. Canadian, but spent some time in Switzerland, I think. I came across her music when going down a Swiss themed music rabbit hole and since I’m terrible at categorizing music this is from her bio,

quote:

An instinctive mixture of experimental, lo-fi electronic pop, and melodic collages of a wide range of genre styles, performed with turntables, fat synthesisers and cutting vocals.

I will take this opportunity to plug Richard Dawson who is an incredibly talented musician and songwriter, even if he's one of these guys you'll either find to be a genius or unlistenable. Most famous works at this point are his last three solo albums which were concept albums about the past, present and future.

Jack Antonoff, the producer of that album, band Bleachers also very much has its sound. But for stuff that sounds like that in recent year, sickly produced new pop, I suggest 100 gecs (https://open.spotify.com/track/4vwHBxN5OGtUqqUWvWClGd?si=XY9Wh6rsSjibuv3rqjmiUw), Rina Sawayama (https://open.spotify.com/track/43bYs8QkPdCdy5esfnmU1T?si=qAL0TEt0S8WGBLGz5FtaYQ), Ibibo Sound Machine (https://open.spotify.com/track/66nc0szStjBKa9iS5iW5Gh?si=RnjmbzKUTY2hQYsW0A4-RA), MUNA (https://open.spotify.com/track/5vYaBqOAT6JpZlAD3gO1AO?si=MXrKQi0GQC-gHCs6yUm9lA), and George Clanton (https://open.spotify.com/track/4Kh8w1MgC7LYHSbSX2lDzP?si=l4DT3uJXQSSAnRxWp-kU9A)

Thanks for all the suggestions! Keep them coming if you have 'em.

On the topic of lyrics, a song with a stellar chorus and/or bridge can be a trip, but I also really like when these aren't forced into a song that doesn't need them instead of being there but sounding like an afterthought to link verses.

Entirely different genre but my man Lil Wayne seems to be at his very best when he goes hard with a five minute verse no chorus. I think especially in rap this definitely sounds more 'adult'. Kendrick does it too, and André 3000 has done it at least once or twice as well.

I am not a fan of weird for the sake of weird. I usually grit my teeth when an artist or group announces they're going to make something experimental because half the time it ends up being derivative (if only accidentally) and sounding just like every other song or album made with the goal of being experimental in mind. But this ain't that.
