Japanese Breakfast, the latest single Picture Window has been living in my head rent free since I first heard it
Artist: Bear Ghost
Album: Jiminy
Song: Sirens
The whole album is great and I'm always trying to get more people to listen to this band.
Cool song, cool video
The new Deafheaven album is amazing.
Snooze - I Know How You Will Die - Out of left field discovery. They have a really diverse sound scape. It's mostly metal but does a good job of not following a set genre of metal.
BCNR - Forever Howlong - is a grower, not a shower. At first I didn't really like Tyler's songs because she left absolutely no room for anything to breath. But I've done a 180 on them as I find her voice so soothing.
For me it's a track by an artist called tuki:
ひゅるりらぱっぱ - HYURURIRAPAPPA
https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/track/3rm4MVBCHs52iYaCqj5XQGHappyHappy: Cream Cheese. Song
This is my favorite new to me song of the month: https://pearlcharlesmusic.bandcamp.com/track/does-this-song-sound-familiar-12-version
tagged as rock, desert rock, folk rock, garage pop, psych folk, psychedelic pop
Sayonara Wild Heart which is a synth-pop album and a rhythm game simultaneously.
Aviators, I like a lot of their game inspired music such as A Thousand Eyes, inspired by Bloobourne and some of their personal creations such as "Godhunter," and "My Church"
All the music on the show Letterkenny is amazing and whoever curated that is a genius. I especially like Peaches, Fuck The Pain Away.
The Heavy
Kaleo
The Armed and Idles. Seriously can't get enough of them.
Propagandhi - At Peace https://youtu.be/CDhTf3eaeoM
Sleep Token. New album coming soon too.
Pat the bunny recently came out of retirement and released a new album called Friends in Real Life. It's quite good, as is pretty much everything he's ever done.
I got back into Ratatat recently and love the vibes in everything
8485 - I don't want to hurt him
It's hyperpop
The new Skrillex album is quite possibly his best.
Been getting into Snapped Ankles and High Vis lately. Also, been enjoying Warmduscher. Snapped Ankles needs a North American tour. Are you listening? 😁
doseone’s new album with Steel Tipped Dove is EXCELLENT. dose deserved so much more fame than he got.
rest in peace, Alias.
i stumbled across magic city hippies two years ago and still have like 10 of their songs on heavy rotation. i love their easy poolside vibe. really smooth. feels like a summer party.
corazon < seemed ridiculous at first, but really grew on me. happy energy.
Zoomst They have one studio album and 90 monthly listeners on spotify but have a great prog sound. Aweizawei is my favorite from the album so far.
I've been getting into tech house lately. It's fun and catchy with really satisfying bass.
The Eurovision 2025 playlist is out! It's a good time listening ahead of the Eurovision Song Contest, then you get to root for the song you like best. If you've never got into it, it's a good time to give it a listen.
I'm digging independent artists Melancholic crossroads and Emily Jeffri right now.
Hmmmm Not exactly what you are asking about, but i love the energy of "Kickstart my heart" by Motley Crue and "Get it on" by Turboneger.
Both starts hard sang continues in the same fashion. I want more og that energy and rhythm.
"Stand up and shout" by Dio is close, but it feels tiny bit harder/faster.
Anybody got other songs in the same vibe/ energy. Not a slow build up. Just 1-2-3-4 rock!
Glass Beams
Khruangbin
"Ha de sarar" from Maro
Northern Portrait.
Latest album is titled “The Swiss Army” and was released in 2022.
Kygo. Just really really good music (especially the latest album "KYGO" and "Thrill of the Chase".
The Hooters - 500 Miles
I recently discovered the band Mar Malade and its really great!
outkast speakerboxxx/the love below. its like 2 hours perfect for plane ride
Stromae & Pomme - Ma Meilleure Ennemie
Some days I just listen to it on repeat for hours.
Anna Diem, indie artist from Oregon and her music just makes me bop! Christmas Puppy is so sweet! I love gay music 🏳️🌈
The Deli
Machinae Supremacy - Sidology 3 -- metal covers of songs from old video games actually also using a SID chip.
Hump Back - 「番狂わせ」(Upset)
/watch?v=zlcn57wdr9E- Will likely have to watch it through Invidious or a VPN with an exit node in Japan, afaik it region locked to Japan only... ;-;The band was somewhat recently featured on Bocchi the Rock with one of the scenes in the linked video being adapted into the cover page.
*Track from their newer album:
「がらくた讃歌」(Ode to Trash)
/watch?v=XtuzSsFWKikhttps://m.youtube.com/results?sp=mAEA&search_query=a+speculative+fiction+propagandhi
A Speculative Fiction - Propagandhi
Absolute banger, and prophetic no less. But really just everything Propaghandi has put out has been in heavy rotation the last 6 months
Marco Castello, very chill italian indie jazz artist
Sylvan Esso - With Love
The Rumjacks. Irish punk / rock / folk and very good.
The original singer had some issues, and was replaced by another singer with a great voice :)
My fave album for takeoffs is The Campfire Headphase by Boards of Canada, especially after taking an edible https://open.spotify.com/album/6uO5B6km2Dco28tOBmZtSU
Colin Stetson is a fantastic ride. He plays instrumental music, but he's playing lower-pitched instruments *wrong.".
Mics on the keys are picking up rhythmic clicking acting as the percussion. He is sometimes shouting through the instrument. The end result sounds like a chase through the woods in the dark.
Passage Du Desir - Sturgill Simpson. His whole catalog is solid if you like more classic country (Merle/Willie)with some experimental elements.
Juniore (French indie pop)
Dogpark Dissidents anarcho queercore punk band, need I say more?
Meshuggah. I’ve known them for a while but only recently saw them live for the first time. Heaviest metal band I’ve ever seen live so far.
Nothing new, Alan Parsons Project.
Pyramid
Tales of Mystery and Imagination - Edgar Allen Poe
Eye in the Sky
Ammonia Avenue
The Turn of a Friendly Card
I RobotPolkadot Stingray
And anything else on my Japanese music playlist :D
https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1qp2kWRqMd77nsVXr2jG5um4DpMWNn5Y
Check out the album Glitter by Pasteboard. It's some good Japanese Shoegaze.
I'm not obsessed with Wisp
it's much deeper than that
Penelope Trappes, specifically her new record A Requiem. Lovely stuff, the album closer in particular gives me Lisa Gerrard vibes
The newest album release by Unlease the Archers
Love music that contains storytelling
Free by Crush 40.
Also, Soul Coughing (El Oso since I only have that single album from them). Specifically Blame, $300, and Pensacola. This is my much more serious answer.
SLIFT's album UMMON has been on heavy rotation in my playlists for some time now.
Fontaines DC, the most recent album. Plus the cover Porter Robinson did of Favorite from that album.
That song with Waxahatchee and MJ Lenderman, Right Back to It.
Nilufer Yanya album My Method Actor
Joshua Ray Walker, anything by him is so good.
British band "Jungle" has been in heavy rotation for me the past ~6 months. Specifically watch their music videos and the dance choreography. I suggest playing the entire album "Volcano" as one video.
Their Dogs Were Astronauts - Progressive, Djenty. Hard to pick a favorite track or album.
Opeth - Started as progressive death metal but they have gotten more chill and progressive and experimental over time. Favorites for me are Blackwater Park (on the harsher end of the spectrum), Windowpane (chill end of the spectrum), Reverie / Harlequin Forest.
Breaking benjamin
Stitched up heart, New Year’s Day, September mourning,
-chick singer led goth metal bands
Literally everything by Cleopatrick and Primitive by not enough space
Been listening to The Meffs a lot lately.
Time for you to get into some American Football Never Meant (music video)
Fit For An Autopsy
More specifically, their new album just came out, The Nothing That Is, it slaps so hard I haven't listened to anything else since the CD came in.
(we don't need this) fascist groove thang
Tallah
The Heavy / Short Change Hero. I just discovered them a couple weeks ago and this song has been stuck in my head ever since. I do 30 minutes on the exercise bike every morning and I just put that song on and belt out the lyrics to it at like 6:30am, much to the dismay of everyone else in the house, but they can suck it cause that song is just so goddamned singable.
Scuba "Three Sided Shape". The album (Triangulation) is really cool, too!
Destiny Potato
Sevendust, Black Out the Sun, the whole album in order is epic.
Recently found dadrock band Geese. So good. And their lead guy, Cameron Winter, also just released a stunning solo album.
Massive Breakz and Def Cut are pretty dope
