bands I judge to have been forgotten by zoomers
per the discord I'm in and its last.fm bot |
| 1 | Sampa the Great
OK I'm gonna start with a red herring which is that this is just an artist I like a lot who I think is ignored by a lot of people including zoomers. The Return (2019) feels uncannily stolen once in a while but it's 77 minutes and 19 tracks of pure bliss. hit it |
| 2 | The Fiery Furnaces
idk I was never super into this band but they def got lost in the lurch |
| 3 | The Sight Below
Ambient with a beat--perfect studying or working music. |
| 4 | The Cradle
"Bag of Holding". this is just some brooklyn guy and it's recent too, doesn't count |
| 5 | Mulatu Astatke
the fuck was this poor showing for this Ethiopian legend. in reality, has to be more popular than ever with the young ones. |
| 6 | Keith Fullerton Whitman
I was gonna host a concert with this guy, my sister's friend natalie, the argentine composer cecilia lopez, former sputnik staffer conrad tao and his musical partner charmaine lee march 20 2020 but then it all started going downhill. LISTEN TO "LISBON" |
| 7 | Camp Lo
this is surely more popular than ever among zoomers but it also had a piss-poor showing. |
| 8 | Autre Ne Veut
the first two tracks and the last one on that debut album are fucking awesome |
| 9 | Quadron
"LFT" is one of my favorite album openers of all time |
| 10 | The Pharcyde
bizarre ride, and the backwards music video, NOW. |
| 11 | Why?
Just cuz I said it in the Big Thief threadD |
| 12 | Danielson
SHIPS (2006) FOREVER |
| 13 | Dreamcrusher
c'mon get into dreamcrusher |
| 14 | Nara Leao
ditto Camp Lo |
| 15 | The Free Design
"Kites are Fun" |
| 16 | Benjamin Diamond
"Little Scare"/"Fit Your Heart" |
| 17 | Califone
I guess |
| 18 | Liliput
oh do listen to the compilation |
| 19 | Abdullah Ibrahim
this guy is 88 and was in the anti-apartheid trenches and has an amazing discography and said he could maybe do a show at the stupid (but HUGE) restaurant cafe thing I have a connection with in queens so let's fucking go... |
| 20 | Goodfight
"Lucy". also Brooklyn. nobody knows them not even millennials |
| 21 | Lido Pimienta
"Te Queria" |
| 22 | Todd Rundgren
Relative to how good he is, definitely a poor showing |
| 23 | New Buffalo
Oh my god, absolutely. The 2001 EP, the 2004 album. |
| 24 | Bleeding Rainbow
just "Waking Dream" |
| 25 | 12 Rods
My favorite band of 2022 by far |
| 26 | Kelis
get into those first two albums bro, the first one in particular is excellent |
| 27 | Ekkehard Ehlers
drone Early Pitchfork-core cf. KFW, Basinski. "Plays" compilation--so good |
| 28 | Julia Kwamya
get into Julia |
| 29 | DeBarge
I'm gonna go check the RYM page for DeBarge |
