you could call it concept albums, I guess, but they don't have to be conceptual. pink Floyd does this a lot where the album feels like one big ride and not just a collection of songs put together. I appreciate any suggestions :)
best way i can describe it but it's probably not what you think of when you hear the title. really like sounds like those but i haven't found much music with them yet
playlist of some examples: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYiVv9u2toDbvHazY2LMYktykl4fgqCwP
I have speficially had Moaning Lisa Smile by Wolf Alice, We're All Mad Here by Aberdeen is Dead, and Crank by Catherine Wheel on repeat for days. I've listened to the rest of all of their respective albums and none of their other songs really had the vibe i was looking for. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Tom Robbins…if u know u know, you know? A lot of folks like Jitterbug Perfume the best but Another Roadside Attraction was my first and still my fav. I’ll add that I’m a Kurt Vonnegut completist. I think they’re soul brothers if from different eras and experience. Style-wise they share wild and brilliant imaginations and a counter-cultural anti-authoritarian freethinker orientation, but whereas Kurt conjures old Europe and good scotch, Tom is straight up Asia and All the Hallucinogens. Yet they both find themselves writing about aliens…
If you’re a fan of both/either and would put others in this venerable vanguard, I’d love to hear!
Bells ringing ringing ringing round my empty body
I also know a few Sufjan Steven songs but I would definitely need to hear more from him. I just want more folk/Indie music similar to them and I can't find any..
I’d like to know what genre, and what are similar songs to these songs (or artists):
Lights Out, FEAST, Mozart, and Deserve Each Other by bludnymph, and BEG! by Vana, and SUFFOCATE by XTINA GG.
Spotify says ‘Alt Z’. Google says dark rap/dance electronic. I want to find similar songs and know the specific genres. Any help is appreciated!
Hi everyone! I’m looking for soundtrack and instrumental songs that share a similar vibe to the beat under H3@RT$ W3RE M3@NT T0 F7¥ (Hearts Were Meant to Fly) by Childish Gambino. Specifically what starts at 30 seconds.
It’s very dark, rhythmic, and heavy. Even a genre to get me in the right direction would be very appreciated! I’ve been looking around but I can’t really find anything that I like.
what else should i check out?
The three songs I am thinking of that would match this vibe are:
Does anyone have any other songs that fit that kind of carousel vibe/undertone from these tracks?
Looking for english equivalents, other songs would be Psicodélica, Se quedan Viendo, La Bestia, Lamento boliviano, and Volveremos also by Junior H
I want something with similar sounds to the song above or maybe Psicodélica and Se quedan viendo also by Junior H, but I want english versions.
Hey guys, are there any songs that have similar vibe to it? Typical for a 2010s EDM music, usually consists of funky beat drop and some bass. I'm trying to find something similar. Thanks for your help in advance!
I absolutely love this song and I need more. That whole album by Kalandra is really good, but that song in particular is just so ethereal, would really appreciate suggestions for similar songs or artists!
I like the song “I’m the only one” by killrude. The artists other songs are completely different from this specific song. Could you guys help me find similar songs?
The song just scratches some itch with the way the music and lyrics just flow and swing through and with eachother. At the same time the lyrics themselves are also interesting. Any ideas for songs that might do the same are greatly appreciated!

What other songs would I like?
Basically love stickman games with a story or/and witty lines, or just a story with witty lines but prefer simplistic style (gonna try asymmetric's other games soon)
What else would you recommend to round out a playlist with a similar vibe?
i want to find more art pop/glitch pop/ambient pop albums like this one! does anyone know any?
Looking for a good country x punk crossover or punk music sung by someone with a noticeable southern accent.
If you have a country x metal rec send that too!
I loved Pentiment for its historical setting, and am looking for more games that are set in historical settings (not RDR2 or KCD - something smaller that I can dig my teeth into and finish in a week or so). Current list of games I am thinking of playing (after my exams anyways).
I'm looking for something that those interested in history would enjoy - not battles and wars, but more how people in the past lived or a fun historical setting. KCD, RDR2 etc seem like good games (I've played RDR2 too) but they are a bit long and more gameplay-focused.
Hi, I love these movies, I like how they're meta and emotional. I've already seen most of Charlie Kaufman's other movies. So does anyone have any other mind-bending movies that are also a bit sad?
i primarily play video games but recommendation of any medium is welcome.
Hit me with your offbeat, desolate-and-slightly-eerie feeling 80s fantasy film vibes.
I like the creativity and complexity of both their music and their lyrics and themes as well! I don't listen to a lot of other music like them so need some recs!
Something along the lines of Malice Mizer and X Japan. Faster is better.
Doesn't have to be Japanese, but I'd prefer something not in English.
