Anyone got some albums to recommend?
Anyone got some albums to recommend?
I just got into Bandcamp recently and I really want to expand my knowledge base on music. Most of what I listened to was either popular 80's rock or several subgenres of EDM, but I'm slowly (re)introducing some genres like: Jazz, Country, Folk, and maybe Hip Hop.
Toss me a suggestion if you got one.
You're viewing a single thread.
favourites of mine in the folk category:
- Solas an Lae - The Light of the Day by Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin & Ultan O'Brien A simple combination of a powerful voice, beautiful fiddle and some really moving songs. https://eoghanultan.bandcamp.com/album/solas-an-lae-the-light-of-the-day
And if you like that there's also:
- The Deepest Breath by Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin https://eoghanoceannabhain.bandcamp.com/album/the-deepest-breath
Also worth checking out:
- Anything by Lankum: The first folk band I got into on bandcamp, aka the start of a terrible addiction. They play traditional music with entirely their own style. Pulls your head and feelings all sorts of ways. Some of it is quite bleak but all of it is great. https://lankum.bandcamp.com/
But if by folk you were specifically thinking of the Scottish smallpipes then of course you want this incredible album:
- Carry Them With Us by Brìghde Chaimbeul https://brighdechaimbeul.bandcamp.com/album/carry-them-with-us
Edited: bloody formatting!
It makes me so happy when I see someone else recommending Brìghde! I got sold on The Reeling years ago because I read about it on Quietus, and she has been a fav of mine ever since.
Ooh I've only heard what she's put out on bandcamp so far, will need to look out that album too
