I don't know if I'm asexual or something (which means, yeah, I'm probably not) but for a few years at least I've had a very hard time engaging with music that deals with the typical topics of romantic and sexual relationships. Rec me stuff like the below, preferably sadboy/sadgirl indie stuff where they're sad about something other than a breakup. I like Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker well enough musically but from what I've heard they pretty much exemplify what I dislike about the current trends. | 1 | | Nick Drake Pink Moon | 2 | | Lomelda Thx | 3 | | elvis depressedly new alhambra | 4 | | Elliott Smith Either/Or | 5 | | Henry Jamison The Wilds
Love the music but often way too romantic. | |

09.29.20 | Give Big Thief’s U.F.O.F. a shot if you haven’t. Beautiful folk with a touch of other stuff around the edges, and an ethereal melancholy atmosphere with ruminations of mortality and the cosmos. Perfect record, for me. Atmosphere’s to die for. (Couple songs touch on romantic stuff, but it’s the minority) | solongatlast
09.29.20 | Oh yeah, I listened to them awhile back but forgot about them, will check definitely. | porcupinetheater
09.29.20 | Ben Howard’s Noonday Dream is excellent as well | solongatlast
09.29.20 | yep one of my favorites | porcupinetheater
09.29.20 | Oh fuck yeah, Mate. That guitar effect on Nica Libres that sounds like circling birds right after the "Eagles soar in circles" line puts my heart in throat | ArsMoriendi
09.29.20 | I'm pretty sure Bradford Cox of Deerhunter is asexual, and he has a ton of sad songs not about love
Halcyon Digest is a must by Deerhunter, that and Microcastle | DominionMM1
09.29.20 | townes van zandt has a lot of depressing songs not related to love | robertsona
09.29.20 | Moses Sumney - Aromanticism!! Haha! I’ll try and think of something later | JesperL
