I’m about to take a long flight and am looking to expand my music library.
EDIT: Thanks so much, everyone! I’ve got 10.5 hours of music on my new playlist thanks to you all!
Cool song, cool video
Oh dank, I had no clue there was a video. Good callout, the new album was great
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.
dang, I think we’d be great friends! The Snooze album is most likely going to be my album of the year, and I also strongly agree, new Deafheaven is fucking great. Looking forward to the new Vildhjarta too, whenever that drops!
you probably won’t like this but I like it

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.
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/3rm4MVBCHs52iYaCqj5XQGThis 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
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. About to release their 27th album and have covered pretty much every genre so no matter what you like, there’s probably a record for you. My favorite is the Flying Yellow Microtonal Banana, full of great tracks, but Billabong Valley has broad appeal.
King gizzard are exceptional, only downside is that it can be a little intimidating with 27 studio albums to choose from for a first listener! Honestly a good method to pick based on what you like is from their album covers, they do a pretty good job summing up what it’ll sound like imo.
The other way to navigate it is if you get into the storyline of the Gizzverse, the fictional universe that is referenced throughout their songs, but not in chronological order. Trying to piece it together has encouraged me to branch out and listen to albums I otherwise might have ignored.
I love KGLW but I don’t like the microtonal stuff.
To each their own. That’s part of what makes KGLW so fascinating. They’re a band that two people with very different musical tastes can both love equally!
Propagandhi - At Peace https://youtu.be/CDhTf3eaeoM
I was about to suggest this, can’t wait for the album
And if you want John K Samson doing indie rock with alt-country influence, the Weakerthans are fantastic. I highly recommend listening to Reconstruction Site straight through.
His solo stuff is great as well.
Machinae Supremacy - Sidology 3 – metal covers of songs from old video games actually also using a SID chip.
MF DOOM
“Ask anyone” is a good track about him by lice (Aesop Rock and homeboy sandman).
Such a vast discog, love the King Geedorah record
Glass Beams
Khruangbin
I can feel Khruangbin lower my stress within 10 seconds.
Yup. Very few bad songs too. They’re consistently great. Zionsville is my current high water mark for them. Just gorgeous. I never saw the appeal of the pedal steel guitar until that song.
This music video is my favorite piece of art in general too, be sure to read the description of the video.
I don’t think I’ve heard that, gonna check it out. I really like all the stuff they did with Leon Bridges, I wasn’t ever really a fan of that type of like country/r&b or what ever it is until then, but damn those albums/EPs are great.
I tried to go see them open for Toro y Moi one time, and Toro cancelled so it was just them for the whole set and they started just doing hip-hop covers in their style to extend their set and it was hands down one of the best shows I’ve ever been to.
Oh nevermind! Zionsville is on my favorite album they’ve done. I don’t know the track names because I usually just throw on a whole album at once
This will likely be my favorite for a long long time. Just so relaxing.
Sleep Token. New album coming soon too.
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=XtuzSsFWKikThe Rumjacks. Irish punk / rock / folk and very good.
The original singer had some issues, and was replaced by another singer with a great voice :)
