Post five of your musical "fetishes" and get recs.
I'll start
>Concept albums
>Odd time signatures
>Synthesizers
>Variety of genres
>Sad, but optimistic mood/lyrics

You like odd times and genre blending eh?
Any album where someone farts into the mic is an instant 10/10 in my book.
>>51125456
basically all death grips albums ;)
>>51125249
>repetition
>accelerating/decelerating rhythms
>long songs/long albums
>drones
>noisy instrumentation
>>51125249
damn, I don't know. I know pink floyd incorporates a lot of that into their music.
I like it when the singer sounds like he's on the verge of laughing but must press on. Like that part in "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite" when he's all "Candy bar a fallen star or a reading from Dr. Seuss" and you can hear the shiteating grin on his face when he's going into the chorus.
>>51125423
Looked it up. Not really into metal but I'll check it out anyway, looks interesting.
>>51125534
I already love Pink Floyd so.
>Sad breakdowns

>>51127007
Oh I hadn't heard Catherine Jauniaux or After Dinner. Neat stuff!
>>51127032
Oh I already like BLA. Where do I start with No Trend?
>>51126971
Ever listen to of Montreal? All of those match them.

>>51127385
>>51127267
how did you even find paavo? their website is barely functioning and finding information is impossible
>>51127662
Double Nickels on the Dime has some of that. I'm not sure what 'hipsterish feel' means though
or maybe Cosmogramma? idk
>>51126653
Perfect fit
>>51127808
I found them by chance in a sharethread here actually. I try to sell ppl on em when I can because they're such a gem of a band.

Literally all trap
>>51127197

Now that guy i luv.
>>51126997
well u asked for whispers and screams.
Red Classroom : Angel Guts has plenty of those.
Their best stuff is everything from knife play to the Air Force.
And Jaime Stewart nearly always seems to have an asian woman for a bandmate
>>51126803
black dice
>>51128006
never heard of them thx
>>51128034
word np
now is the part where you'd quote my post (where i listed "slinty" as a fetish) and recommend slint
this would be more obvious if i used a name or something
>>51126803
Sun Araw
:^)
>>51127929
Damn, all that shit is real hard to find together, I'd be hella happy if I found something to fuse that stuff. maybe Dogbowl or Thinking Fellers. Dawn of Midi do electronic with live instruments p well.
>>51125534
You ever listen to Steve Reich? He sounds right up your alley, like, damn. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TKVpUSWCug

FoC is nothing like their first two albums / basement tapes
Duty now is like scifi meets garage rock with a lot of weird time signatures (Blockhead is 7/8)
>Well Executed Humor (Ween, Negativland)
>Long Drumy Buildups
>Long Ending Songs
>Sampling Of People Having Loud Arguments
>80s Cheesy Synths
Soft female vocals over fast, heavy, fuzzy guitar (Joanna Gruesome, Perfect Pussy)
Sample-heavy hip-hop (Public Enemy, "Paul's Boutique")
Non-political, carefree and cheesy punk rock (Nobunny, Ramones)
Metal of any sort with blatant occult/satanic overtones (Mercyful Fate, Black Sabbath)
Trip-hop with evident hip-hop roots (i.e., not just electronics downtempo; Massive Attack, Tricky)
Man, any of those would just make me a happy camper. I'll rec others in following comments.

Explosions in the Sky's All of a Sudden I miss you was a really good match for a lot of that, but was a bit short.

For the bottom three, Anamanaguchi's Endless Fantasy album
m7 chords
pastiches of 80s pop culture
guttural vocals
clean jangly guitar tones
harpischord
too lazy to list it out but i need more things like:
bossa nova/tropicalia: either slow with female vocals like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpOMeT27auw or anything by jobim/gilberto/bonfa/whatever
soft, slow, smouldering jazz like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adPpG0Dnxeg instrumental or with vocals is fine as well
"elevator music" aka easy listening
fang island (high-energy, intricate drums, guitar harmonies out the ass, ahhhhs or ohhhhhs at times)
field recordings of nature sounds, particularly of water: oceans, lakes, rivers, etc. like rec01

some of the Tears for Fears catalog fits
60s / 70s like production, percussion-centered recordings, jangly guitars, comfy synths
I love Spiderland and Ege Bamyasi, for reference to elements mentioned above.
>>51125534
You should look into Steve Reich
>>51126177
Guided by Voices - Bee Thousand if you dig lo fi
>>51126585
King Crimson - Larks' Tongues In aspic
Caravan - In the land of grey and pink
>>51126653
Codeine - The White Birch
>>51126803
Big Black in general
>>51134473

I second for Whirr, Distressor is probably my rec
>>51134473
Woods of Desolation, it's black metal, but it fit's your description, I rec as the stars. Alternatively Stargazer, which is technical death, it's dmshareguy core

Sun Angle - Diamond Junk, find it in the archive, it's ADHD like, catchy and upbeat, it also has god tier drums.
>>51125249
OP I think you would really enjoy this album.
This Glocca Morra album is nothing like any of their others, it's essentially a prog/emo album that reads more like a narrative on the human condition. The struggle of coming of age, dealing with your past and keeping optimism for the future. Never a chorus, sparse guitar hooks, multiple vocalists.

>tribal, boredoms-esque drumming
>bass/baritone vocals
>minimal, if any, use of electric guitar (yet still "rock" in nature)
>prominent use of synths and orchestral instrumentation (mellotrons are cool too)
>jazzy chord progressions
also, this is unrelated, but you know how the synth goes full retard at the end of LCD Soundsystem's yeah (crass)? anyone know any other songs where the instrumentation goes in a similar direction

Cool thread idea, I wish I'd found it earlier
>songs that build around a simple repeated rhythm
>raw/passionate/emotive female vocals (men who do this are cool too but I tend to prefer women)
>liberal use of violins or similar string instruments
>prominent, heavy, crushing drums
>dark, but cautiously optimistic lyricism
Because I like being oddly specific:
>when the music gets loud and chaotic and the drummer starts using his ride cymbal
>when the singer's voice finaly breaks after a lot of screaming
>guitars with just enough distortion to make 'em sound vicious, but too little to sound 'distorted' per se
>beach-boy-esque vocal harmonies
>when a song starts 'falling apart', one instrument dropping out after another, feedback taking over, the drums losing speed until only the vocals are left behind
>>51137970
>weird breakdowns

>>51135962
