If You Like This...
...then you might like this.
I'm picking one album that I thoroughly enjoy (that seems rather
popular on this site), and presenting one of a similar vibe with much,
much less recognition on here. I'm not going for blatant style rip-offs;
I'm trying to match the mood. |
1 | | Swans The Seer
If you like post-apacolyptic, eerie, dissonant, atypical arrangements...you might like: |
2 | | Wovenhand Blush Music

3 | | The National Alligator
If you like Matt's vocal delivery, stripped/direct instrumentation, sparse but
relatable lyrics, the raw production of Alligator...you might like: |
4 | | American Music Club Mercury

If you like that switch between dynamic groovers and moody, stretched
atmospheres, paired with that inexplicably mellow production, you might like: |

Well, if you like that particular Godspeed-sound of post rock, you might like... |
8 | | The Ascent of Everest How Lonely Sits the City
I won't lie, 1:30 sounds a lot like that plucking sequence in "Static":
