[–] Brewchin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Mezzanine is the gold standard for me, but always good to explore and expand.

My first thought was Explosions in the Sky, nice to see it already listed.

I listen to all these except never heard of Red Sparrows, guess I'll have to check them out

[–] kurcatovium@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I finally get to my PC, so here's more:

  • Hammock
  • Appalaches
  • Unsigned Char
  • PG.lost
  • Bound (more of shoegaze)
  • Caves of Steel
  • Youth Pictures of Florence Henderson (more rock-ish, but great)
  • Coastlands
  • Distant Dream (more guitar soloing)
  • El Ten Eleven (more electronic)
  • El Altar Del Holocausto
  • Goodbye Earth
  • I/O
  • Neil on Impression
  • Nice Wings, Icarus!
  • No One Wished To Settle Hereafter
  • Old Solar
  • Random Forest
  • Redjetson
  • Rhone
  • Seanné
  • Sleepmakeswaves
  • Souls Vibrating in the Universe
  • This Patch of Sky
  • Upcdownc
  • We Deserve This
  • The End of the Ocean
  • DiEgita

Most of these can be found on Bandcamp. Let me know if you like something.

[–] kurcatovium@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Definitely do. They have quite distinct sound due to usage of lap steel guitar. I like it a lot.

I'll check my collection for more bands like this if you'd like.

I don't mix uppers and downers.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Its awesome, especially combining coffee with darkroom red light and chill tunes

[–] Jarlsburg@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

One of the chillest, good vibe albums I have ever listen to blind was Masayoshi Takanaka's - All of me.

The youtube comment that was at the top of the video that I listened to years ago summed up the experience nicely, "No one searches for this album, it finds you when you need it.

Moondog's album "Sax Pax for a Sax"

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Emancipator's album Soon It Will Be Cold Enough is great

[–] Nefara@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I love Emancipator, I've had his albums as my driving music in my car for at least a decade. Safe in the Steep Cliffs is my favorite.

On that vibe, Ondas by Kinack and Days to Come or Black Sands by Bonobo would be suggestions to OP

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

That is an excellent answer.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

the book about my idle plot on a vague anxiety by toe and standing still in a moving scene by Hyakkei were the first things to come to mind. Most Japanese math rock in general though

Killer instinct OST album but Mick Gordon.

Green by Hiroshi Yoshimura

[–] Woodstock@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Anything by the sounds providers is my jam. The album with surreal is great, although I do prefer “an evening with the sound providers”.

It’s kinda chill hop but a bit more jazzy.

[–] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago
