| Albums you should listen to (in my humble opinion)
Basically, just a list of my favorite albums. | | 1 |  | Neat Beats
Cosmic Surgery
Trip Hop at its finest. I know, objectively speaking, that this album is by no means perfect or consistent throughout, but emotionally I immediately connected to it. Expect retro hip hop drum loops, some awesome vocal sampling, and beautiful piano/string parts. Overall, an unexpectedly heartwarming album. | | 2 |  | Neutral Milk Hotel
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
Fuzz-folk with some seriously heavy instrumentation and emotional impact. | | 3 |  | Gold Panda
Lucky Shiner
Some downtempo electronic music with an Eastern twist, or at least what I perceive to be an Eastern twist. Who knows? Either way, cool stuff. | | 4 |  | Kashiwa Daisuke
Program Music I
Over an hour of a unique blend of post-rock, electronic bleeps and bloops, and classical music. It only consists of two songs, each over 20 minutes, but don't let that stop you from checking this out. | | 5 |  | Interpol
Turn on the Bright Lights
Dark and moody, yet emotionally fulfilling, indie rock. | | 6 |  | Animal Collective
Feels
Created by acclaimed experimental pop/noise pop band Animal Collective. Some really strange but cool sounds and effects on this album. If nothing else, check out Loch Raven and Grass, which, in my opinion, are the best songs on the album, for entirely different reasons. | | 7 |  | Kendrick Lamar
To Pimp a Butterfly
You've likely listened to this one if you're a hip-hop fan, but if not, definitely check it out Easily some of the best socially conscious hip hop to come out in the last decade. In addition to excellent lyrical content, the instrumentals are a phenomenal blend of jazz, hip-hop, and funk. | | 8 |  | Open Mike Eagle
Dark Comedy
Alternative Hip-Hop act Open Mike Eagle absolutely delivers, giving the listener 44 minutes of witty, humorous, and satirical lyrical content. If you're at all into anti-rap, absolutely check out this album, as well as anything created by other members of the Hellfyre Club. | |

05.20.15 | 1 sounds beautiful, will check | NorthernSkylark
05.20.15 | what is this indie music u mention? | Nate38222
05.20.15 | Heya, indie rock (at least how I define it) is a subgenre of alternative rock that is characterized by bands that are oftentimes considered "underground" or non-mainstream. That being said, indie music can still have pop appeal or be accessible. But hey, that's just my definition, I don't know if its technically correct. If not, my bad. If so, cool. | Nate38222
05.20.15 | Yeah, man, absolutely check out Cosmic Surgery. If you'd prefer not to listen to the whole album front to back, listen to Graffiti on a Tuesday Night, Why Would We Need Breaks, Turning on the Large Hadron Collider, and Science is My Girlfriend, as I consider those the best songs on the album. Hopefully you like it, but if not, that's fine, maybe it's just not your thing. |
