New essentials chart I made.

Thoughts? Additions? Subtractions? Multiplications?

Pedro the lion - It's hard to find a friend

Many of my faves are unpopular, but I figure Love, Claire would be a consensus pick.

Bluetile Lounge is shit, Frigid Stars is the worst Codeine album, Xuvetyn isn't slowcore and you're missing Sparklehorse
>>
I like the addition of And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out.

Yo La Tengo isn't slowcore and neither is that Lowercase album, it's post-hardcore. ATNTIIO is a great record but there's nothing slowcore about it. Loveliescrushing doesn't really belong on there either. I would add Hier Kommt Der Schwartze Mond by Valium Aggelein and possibly Moon Pix by Cat Power

"The music of slowcore artists is generally characterized by bleak lyrics, downbeat melodies, slower tempos and minimalist arrangements."

I think that applies to And Then Nothing.

Also if you consider Chokebore to be slowcore, I think that Lowercase album can be considered too.

Everyday, Tears Are in Your Eyes and Night Falls on Hoboken might be, but I don't think the rest of the album really fits. The lyrics aren't that bleak, and the melodies are pleasant and warm. You Can Have it All and Let's Save Tony Orlando's House are so incredibly sweet and cheery it's impossible to call And Then Nothing slowcore. Compare them to songs like Low's Cut and it's impossible to consider them the same genre.

Also, if you really want a Lowercase album on the chart, The Going Away Present is much more Slowcore.

Is Mamiffer slowcore?
https://mamiffer.bandcamp.com/album/statu-nascendi
the song on this album Enaitiodromia is the most depressing song I've heard
any to recommend from that? I'm new to the genre.

I just want to hear the saddest slowcore there is.

Let me wallow in self-hatred pls

Some tracks on albums generally considered slowcore have nice, upbeat melodies too.

And some of them even border on post-hardcore.

Some even venture into mid tempo.

Also, lyrics throughout are pretty bleak on that album.

When Monday comes I want nothing
Come Tuesday morning I want the same
The days and nights fly by
Looking to embrace the nothing, of the everyday

You tell me that you haven't
Slept in days
You tell me sleeping only makes you tired
Anyway

Tears are in your eyes tonight
Tears are in your eyes every night

Several times over several days
I wasn't blind, but I acted that way
Causing you pain, well now I have to explain

As the empty feeling turns from black to blue
I can't believe this never happens to you
I see it on the TV and I laugh out loud
But it's the way I feel right now
