Hawks 05.20.26	M//////EN
Tundra 05.20.26	Shut up Hawks.
Hawks 05.20.26	Its so funny watching you crash out and get upset lmao.
PanosChris 05.20.26	36 through 39 is a stretch of excellent albums :) Lovely list Hawks - still have to listen to some of these records
Hawks 05.20.26	Hell yeah brother!!! Thank you. :]
cylinder 05.20.26	Talons' - Rustic Bullshit
CrisStyles 05.20.26	Really do need to get around to 8 and 33, those have been on my list for awhile now.
Kimm 05.20.26	Whoa, 4 is a wild throwback Are you into Manchester Orchestra? I know this isn't a groundbreaking insight, but A Black Mile to the Surface is one of my all time favorite albums and you should def check it out if you haven't. Also Oliver Daldry - After Dark (EP) Third track, 'Ghost Town' is my fave Also any album by Skott - all of her albums have a handful of tracks that I absolutely love, but also some skips so idk which one I'd recommend. Some of my favorites are 'Amelia', 'Porcelain', 'Mermaid', 'Hail Mary', and 'Overcome'
Hawks 05.20.26	Will jam Cyl bro!!! Get on em hard Cris, both rule.
Hawks 05.20.26	Will do Kimm! Thanks for the rec! And yes, I love Manchester Orchestra. M////
DoofDoof 05.20.26	Some classics on this list! Great work men
DoofDoof 05.20.26	Men Howard The Men on Drugs
Hawks 05.20.26	Men [2] Lmao thanks Doofster!! Will be adding as I jam until the list is full like always. M////
NaturalLaw 05.20.26	Iron & Wine Ray Lamontagne Both good options for Folk Hawks
Grimlin 05.20.26	They’re more indie than folk, but you should check out Pinback sometime
Christbait 05.20.26	Check out the album In Spades by The Afghan Whigs. Lots of great choices on this list either way. Nice diving, Hawks.
bighubbabuddha 05.20.26	Tundra you have the worst music taste on this site, yes even worse than Smok somehow. Leave Hawks alone
Hawks 05.20.26	Will check out all recs bros! Been meaning to get on Iron & Wine for years now tbh. Its all good Buddha brother, Tundra knows he's a peasant.
DoofDoof 05.20.26	Hawks, you've checked War on Drugs but have you got to Kurt Vile yet? He's actually got a new one out the next couple of weeks I think.
Hawks 05.20.26	I have not, but someone just rec'd his stuff to me the other day! Plan on getting to at least one of his albums tomorrow!
NaturalLaw 05.20.26	Yeah Pinback is very good. I have all 5 albums.
Hawks 05.20.26	Will be jamming soon!
NaturalLaw 05.20.26	Not sure what genre " Paper Rival" sits under but you may like them. :p
Emim 05.20.26	Josh Garrels - Love & War & The Sea In Between Might be too religious for you, but that's my favorite folk album
redrig 05.20.26	Oh damn that Josh Garrels album is great, havent heard it in ages. Have you heard of Mansions hawks? Dig Up the Dead as well as their whole discog is pretty much great
Hawks 05.20.26	Nice! Thanks for the recs guys! I have not heard Mansions brother.
Kimm 05.20.26	Hawks u may not believe this but if you're looking for good folk, the latest Noah Cyrus album is actually REALLY FKN GOOD. (If you don't believe me, ask Sowing)
Kimm 05.20.26	It's called 'I WANT MY LOVED ONES TO GO WITH ME'
Hawks 05.20.26	I've heard it! And love it lol.
Kimm 05.20.26	YESSS omg I was so skeptical at first but it's kind of undeniable
Hawks 05.20.26	Yeah, it friggin rips for sure!
Deez 05.20.26	Tiny Vipers Hands Across the Void Glad to see you got into that TITR record man, holds a special place for me. Should check out Sensefield - Building, they were 2 emo/indie/post h/c adjacent albums around that time i loved. FOR SURE chekc the Texas is the Reason EP if you havent mate
Hawks 05.20.26	Will check them for sure brother, thank you! :]
Tundra 05.20.26	Shut up Hawks.
Hawks 05.20.26	Tundra seek help. You're like a 12 year old trapped in a 30 year old's body.
NaturalLaw 05.21.26	Not sure if you know the band alexisonfire. But the clean vocalist does some folks music under the "City and Colour"
Hawks 05.21.26	I do indeed and I've heard of City and Colour, but never jammed. Will check!
StormChaser 05.21.26	the Sade rating should be considered a hate crime, but otherwise nice list hawksy indie and pop is for m/en too
Hawks 05.21.26	3.8 is still excellent!!! Thanks buddy. M////
cloakanddagger 05.21.26	Nice list Hawks, lots of good stuff on here and some stuff I'll need to check out. Oh wait this is a Hawks thread, uhh The War On Men, Men Can Dance, Menfold, MJ LenderMen, Modest Men
Hawks 05.21.26	BOOM!!!! LMAO thanks brother!
EyesWideShut 05.23.26	Modest's Good News for a more mainstream debut was damn good imo. Still retained some of that unhinged twang that makes em so great
Hawks 05.23.26	Agreed brother!!
NaturalLaw 05.24.26	oh you might enjoy Midlake. Album 1 is great but different. Album 2 is considered their best. Album 3 is very strong IMO. 4th has a new singer but is very good! newer albums i have to listen to
Hawks 05.24.26	I've heard Midlake's second album and really dig it! Will have to jam more.
FearThyEvil 05.24.26	The War on Drugs is literally from my city. Only band or artist really besides Joan Jett
Hawks 05.24.26	That is SICK!!!
FearThyEvil 05.24.26	Well I should say Kurt Vile is but the band originated from where I'm at.
Hawks 05.24.26	That is so cool brother.
Hawks 05.25.26	Everyone needs to jam Mississippi John Hurt now!!!
NaturalLaw 05.25.26	you might enjoy Irish Singer and songwriter David Gray. He is most well known for his 4th album, White Ladder. His first three albums i only heard once and did not enjoy, BUT i will be revisiting them soon. His albums post-white ladder have been very good in my opinion
JoyfulPlatypus 05.26.26	Hawks, you should check out The Big Roar by The Joy Formidable. It's a shoegazy indie rock album, you might like it. I think it slaps.
CrisStyles 05.26.26	I'll go based off what I didn't see on this list or in your ratings: Jackson C. Frank - Jackson C. Frank In the Throes - John Moreland Judee Sill - Judee Sill Beautiful Skeletons - Gavin Clark Nux Vomica - The Veils Bizarro - The Wedding Present Barbara Keith - Barbara Keith Wrecking Ball - Emmylou Harris
NaturalLaw 05.26.26	the veils are dope. i have heard their first 4 albums
NaturalLaw 05.26.26	listen to the first album by The Veils as well. incredibly strong
Hawks 05.26.26	Frigg yeah bros! Will definitely be jamming all recs HARD.
NaturalLaw 05.26.26	damn 2.7 for white ladder
Hawks 05.26.26	Yeah, it was pretty cringe tbh lol. Sorry bro.
NaturalLaw 05.26.26	Lmao no worries! Thanks for checking it out though
NaturalLaw 05.26.26	You may enjoy Ray Lamontagne. Has a great voice. I only know his first 5 albums, album 4 being the first one I heard because of my mom and brother. The first 3 were growers for me
Hawks 05.26.26	Will give his stuff a try for sure!
NaturalLaw 05.26.26	Because you are a baller. Looking forward to what you think of the other iron and wine material. His ep is along the same vein as the first album. The 2nd and 3rd i see you enjoying too
Hawks 05.26.26	Yes bro, definitely excited to dig deeper into his discog. M////
NaturalLaw 05.27.26	i like how you were into The Shin's 3rd album. That was my first exposure to them and my favorite of theirs. You'd possibly enjoy the first two. The 4th album is a nice extension of album 3. I am assuming you know of Broken Bells? it is a colab with the Shin's singer and another gentleman
Hawks 05.27.26	I've heard the first two The Shins albums and love them also!
NaturalLaw 05.28.26	ooo shit Hawks is a Shinner
Hawks 05.28.26	Hell yeah bro.
NudeTayne 05.28.26	lately when I see the word "folk" my mind goes instantly to Adrianne Lenker and then to Ray LaMontagne, although the latter would be more folk-rock(?)
Hawks 05.28.26	Adrianne Lenker is so damn good.
NudeTayne 05.28.26	Fuck yeah she is
Christbait 05.28.26	Oh, Hawks, if you liked The Decemberists' stuff, check out Offa Rex's "Queen of Hearts". It's them and Olivia Chaney doing a one-off collab.
Hawks 05.28.26	Oh hell yeah, will check bro!
Deathconscious 05.28.26	Shakey Graves, Chelsea Wolfe, Joanna Newsom, and Iron & Wine all rule balls. About to bust out my flannel shirt and thick rimmed glasses and latte.
NudeTayne 05.28.26	Only proper way to wear a flannel is without a shirt underneath and the sleeves rolled up, bonus points if you combo with a baseball cap
Futures 05.28.26	arab strap m/
Hawks 05.28.26	Hell yes!!!!
arthropod 05.28.26	I can throw some Polish folk-ish at ye folk, pop-folk, indie folk, folk rock, folk metal, ska folk, country etc. "if you think it, we can make it - any way you want"
Hawks 05.28.26	Go ahead buddy!
arthropod 05.28.26	Just give me a while to select and compile. I might even make a list out of it. A question though, does sung poetry count? It's our analogue of the Western singer-songwriter.
Hawks 05.28.26	Yeah bro, rec anything you want!
Futures 05.28.26	listen to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYBLGIxwfo8
Hawks 05.28.26	Will do brother!!
NudeTayne 05.28.26	Hawks also listen to this https://youtu.be/sSQKl7rBTWQ?si=RMBozeFJmiVsvuzt
Hawks 05.28.26	Ok bro!
JoyfulPlatypus 05.28.26	Hawks listen to this https://youtu.be/YAgJ9XugGBo?si=rDGEWxQsY-H3oSQn
Hawks 05.28.26	Will do Platy!
arthropod 05.29.26	From our limited database, you may listen to "Cała jesteś w skowronkach" by Skaldowie. Late 60's folk rock. "Kulig" and "Prześliczna wiolonczelistka" are staple songs in their discography, and "20 minut po północy" even leans towards prog. I'd also rec their songs "Wszystko mi mówi, że mnie ktoś pokochał" and "Nie domykajmy drzwi" from other albums. These gentlemen produced some undeniable cult classics.
arthropod 05.29.26	And some Enej for the good measure: https://youtu.be/XLD6EWKj11c?is=-nsUb938YjLhqhlh
Futures 05.29.26	wow plat, love that one. hawks will love it!
JoyfulPlatypus 05.29.26	Thanks man! If I know Hawks, I know he'll be a big fan.
PanosChris 05.29.26	Would love to take up a few seconds and rec the new Angelo De Augustine album ('Angel In Plainclothes')—if you guys are fans of Sufjan Stevens, this will stratch a similar itch; an absolutely dreamy indie folk record
Hawks 05.29.26	Sounds right up my alley! Will jam hard.
NaturalLaw 05.29.26	You may like the band Paper Rival. Have 2 Eps and 1 Lp. Then disappeared. I really love them. Great lyrics IMO https://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/Paper-Rival/11368/
Hawks 05.29.26	NICE. M////
Hawks 05.30.26	Platy just clicked on your link LMAOOOO. Futures bro, I'll be jamming that Arab Strap album tonight!
Deathconscious 05.30.26	I fuckin love Paper Rival. One of those hidden gems that got cut tragically short.
JoyfulPlatypus 05.30.26	HAHAHAHA Wanted to know how long it would take for you to realize. Also, glad you dug Wolf's Law. Not their most consistent work but has some great highlights.
Hawks 05.30.26	I really dig it bro. Gonna jam their debut next! Great rec.
PanosChris 05.30.26	St. Vincent's 'Actor' is sooo good-
Hawks 05.30.26	Yes it is!
NaturalLaw 05.31.26	you may like: As Tall As Lions - https://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/As-Tall-As-Lions/2431/ I love all 3 albums and their EP The Reign of Kindo - https://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/The-Reign-of-Kindo/7250/ singer reminds me of One Republic singer. Jazzy band, great instrumentation. Love the first 3 albums and EP. 4th album is a departure HRVRD - https://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/HRVRD/16373/ Reminds me of Circa Survive, better singer than Green IMO.
NaturalLaw 05.31.26	Deathconscious it is so weird having someone who actually knows Paper Rival! glad you also appreciate their work!
Hawks 05.31.26	Ray LaMontagne's first album is so damn good.
Hawks 05.31.26	Part two of this list will be coming once this is filled up. Having tons of fun with this!
NaturalLaw 05.31.26	wow i am glad you liked your first taste of LaMontagne! He has an excellent voice. The strokes are great too! i know all their albums besides the newest. i enjoy them alot
Hawks 05.31.26	Hell yeah bro!
bighubbabuddha 05.31.26	Curtains - John Frusciante
Hawks 05.31.26	Will check bro.
NaturalLaw 05.31.26	If you are looking for something somber. Neverending White Lights is a good option. Canadian multi instrumentalist who sings some songs but features guests a lot. https://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/Neverending-White-Lights/2376/
Hawks 05.31.26	Sounds awesome!!
NaturalLaw 05.31.26	Not as awesome as you.
Hawks 05.31.26	You're the man!!!
NaturalLaw 05.31.26	Have you heard of the band Riverside? i am thinking not since i see no ratings on your profile. https://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/Riverside/2175/
Hawks 05.31.26	I have heard of them, jammed them a while ago, but its been forever.
NaturalLaw 05.31.26	have you ever given Depeche Mode a shot?
Hawks 05.31.26	For some reason, I actually have not, but have been meaning to.
NudeTayne 05.31.26	Ray LaMontagne is some ridiculously great slow dancing music with that certain someone, have fun kids ;)
Hawks 05.31.26	M/////EN
NaturalLaw 05.31.26	Depeche Mode is VERY consistent. granted. i have heard their whole discography a few times over the past 13 years so I have a deeper knowledge than just a quick run-through of their material. Even the first album is very good, which most people find to be very weak.
NaturalLaw 05.31.26	do you know the band Rishloo?? https://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/Rishloo/6909/
Hawks 05.31.26	Will have to jam them soon!
NaturalLaw 06.01.26	first album by Rishloo SCREAMS Tool. still a great album with great lyrics. Album 2 is the beginning of something truly their own.
Hawks 06.01.26	Damn, I hate Tool lol.
NaturalLaw 06.01.26	give the first album a try. on first listen i laughed at how similar they sounded. Not in a derivative way, not copying melodies, just sound. Second album starts off STRONG and his voice is incredible IMO
Hawks 06.01.26	Hmmmm, I may give it a shot.
NaturalLaw 06.01.26	they have strong lyrics http://www.darklyrics.com/r/rishloo.html
NaturalLaw 06.01.26	you a beasht Hawks
Hawks 06.01.26	I try my best!!
NaturalLaw 06.01.26	Album #2 Song: El Empe Favorite Vocal Part: Fuck you, you fool With your hand me down views And your Valium counterpoint bullshit excuse You wouldn't have a word If I hadn't said it first So cup your little seed and Beg beggar beg
Sharenge 06.01.26	Hawks shut up you love Tool!
Hawks 06.01.26	Hahahahahaha
Deathconscious 06.01.26	@natural law I didn't even know they had another EP until you mentioned it, stoked to have more PR to listen to!
NaturalLaw 06.01.26	Wow really?? There are 2 actually. I was disappointed to find out the song "pacing the cage" was a cover.
NaturalLaw 06.01.26	https://www.discogs.com/release/9902927-Paper-Rival-Paper-Rival-EP "Alabama" might be one of my favorite songs of all time. Hopelessly yours, Alabama
NaturalLaw 06.01.26	https://tidal.com/album/10906320 Paper Rival Thieves EP Do not listen to the thieves version of Alabama first
NudeTayne 06.01.26	The Act of Estimating As Worthless has a song called "Black Fly" that is pretty much the best folk song I've ever heard outside of Damien Rice that's worth checking out imo
Deathconscious 06.02.26	I've listened to the self titled EP and their full length countless times, I didn't know Thieves existed. It'll be interesting to hear a different version of Alabama. PR's version of Pacing the Cage is a lot better I think. Alabama's great, but I think A Fox in the Garden is my favorite track off that EP. All these years later I'm still hoping PR will reform lol, or at least that Jake will continue recording music in some new project.
NaturalLaw 06.02.26	Fox In the Garden is extremely good too. Alabama just has that palpable atmosphere that is unlike anything I have ever heard
Deathconscious 06.02.26	Wow, Thieves is quite a lot different from what they put out later. I guess a post hardcore influence? I'm not super familiar with that genre, but that's kind of what it feels like to me. I'm digging it so far though.
NaturalLaw 06.02.26	Yeah I have only gone through it one time. I had known about it for a decade prior to actually hearing it. Will revisit soon
Hawks 06.05.26	Man, new Death Cab is AMAZING.
Hawks 06.05.26	The new Modest Mouse also rules. What a day.
keaton_86 06.05.26	You're missing the best war on drugs album!
Ectier 06.05.26	Have you tried Kiss the Anus of a black cat yet?
Ectier 06.05.26	And check Quentin Sauvé (bassist of Birds in Row and also plays in Pain Magazine)
NaturalLaw 06.05.26	I have listened to Death Cab up to Codes and Keys. I am WAY behind
Christbait 06.05.26	"The new Modest Mouse also rules. What a day." You planning a review of it, Hawks?
Hawks 06.05.26	I wasn't, but I'll have to see if anyone dibbed it.
Ectier 06.05.26	Have a good day tho everyone
NaturalLaw 06.05.26	Ditto Ectier!
NaturalLaw 06.05.26	If you enjoy yourself some Death Cab I think you'll like Copeland https://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/Copeland/2324/
Christbait 06.05.26	Since it's a big release, I'm sure staff have dibs. I'd volunteer but I'm already late to the party since y'all got the advanced release.
Hawks 06.05.26	Actually, nobody has it dibbed. Give it a writeup brother! Will check Copeland hard!
budgie 06.05.26	is this a rec thread
Hawks 06.05.26	Not technically, but I am accepting recs!
budgie 06.05.26	darude - sandstorm
Hawks 06.05.26	LMAOOOOOOOO DAMN YOU!!!!
NaturalLaw 06.06.26	enjoying The Strokes! People dislike album 3 but I enjoy it, as well as album 4 and 5
Hawks 06.06.26	Hell yeah bro. M////
NaturalLaw 06.06.26	look forward to hearing your thoughts on the next albums :)
Hawks 06.06.26	Will definitely let you know!
budgie 06.06.26	my woman being 3.2 annoys me so much lol
Hawks 06.06.26	Just didn't grab me bro.
budgie 06.07.26	were you listening to it on your phone speakers in a crowded airport terminal or something
NaturalLaw 06.07.26	LMAO
Hawks 06.07.26	No lol.
NaturalLaw 06.07.26	what do you use? a stereo system? headphones? if so what brand of headphones?
Hawks 06.07.26	I just use airpods, vinyl if I really love the album.
NaturalLaw 06.09.26	not indie or folk, but i saw you enjoy some Coheed. You may like the band 3 (USA) https://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/3-USA/2387/
Hawks 06.20.26	Everyone jam the new Charlie Marie album, it is AMAZING.
