mitchables' mega music recommendations thread
 

hello friends it is i, mitchables

i am here to bring you good music. below are several recommendations. perhaps some of them will please you. i certainly hope at least one of them does. they are presented in alphabetical order.

annabel - jangly fourth-wave emo/indie



arrows - excellent fourth-wave-era australian emo



bad rabbits - ridiculously funky good times



brave bird - twinkly warbly feelings-rock



boris smile - introspective folksy demureness



braid - resurgent second-wave '90s emo band



calculator - spazzy post-punk/post-hardcore jams



chon - plinky shred



color film - daryl palumbo (glassjaw, head automatica) side thing



crying - chiptune indie-rock madness



dowsing - like post-2000s get up kids, i guess



empire! empire! (i was a lonely estate) - sparkly fourth-wave sad-man emo



enemies - fiddly instrumental(ish) math-pop



expeditions - like a less screamy fall of troy



football, etc - gentle but kinda rocky, eminently listenable femme-led fourth-wave emo trio. reminds me of the rocking horse winner kinda



foxing - genre-bending heartfelt, glitchy angst-rock



glocca morra - super-fun, raw, raucous angry party



a great big pile of leaves - danceable, earnest indie jams



the great albatross - dude from boris smile + guitar + other friends and collaborators, not wildly different from boris smile but still pretty nice



happy body slow brain - dude from facing new york makes what should have been facing new york's second record



the helix nebula - tech prog



hiatus kaiyote - australian weird funk



hightide hotel - philadelphia punk/emo



the hotelier - wordy, heartfelt, aggressive, punky emo/indie



into it. over it. - poster project for the fourth-wave emo movement, feat. man of a million bands evan weiss



joie de vivre - archetypal wistful sad-man fourth-wave emo



kind of like spitting - resurgent '90s indie rock outfit



kittyhawk - like if joie de vivre was fronted by a woman i guess



lifted bells - bob nanna from braid + matthew frank from their/they're/there + fiddly noodle guitar + techy math times



makeshift shelters - alternately dreamy and thoughtful/angsty and punkishly driven femme-fronted emo



marvin's revolt - jangly irish tappy math fun



modern baseball - intelligent, super-fun, feeling-heavy pop-punk



naturally the foundation will bear your expenses - raw, lo-fi, mineral-esque fourth-wave emo



perspective, a lovely hand to hold - spazzy jangly tap-dappled upbeat feelings rock



pet symmetry - members of dowsing, kittyhawk, and evan f*cking weiss. so the sum of those parts basically



yes, that song's full name is "a detailed and poetic physical threat to the person who intentionally vandalised my 1994 dodge intrepid behind kate's apartment"

pianos become the teeth - expressive post-rocky, post-hardcore



plini - guitar porn



pogo - sample guy, you might remember his 'alice' or his 'up' tracks



prawn - jangly, polished feelings rock



their/they're/there - mike kinsella (owen, american football) + matthew frank + evan f*cking weiss, so good



tiny moving parts - fiddly, yelly, melodic tap jive rock



tycho - loopy electro wonderment



the world is a beautiful place and i am no longer afraid to die - post-rocky fourth-wave emo poster children



you blew it! - yes, more of a different kind of fourth-wave emo, fuck you



you slut! - spazzy, proggy math chug



you're welcome

Way too much to be checking out here in one go, but I'm sure I'll get around to it.

Same here thanks I'll check them all when time permits.

Thanks

@mitchables basicly i'm trying to find the most "insanely" soft/soothing music of all time

allow me to set the scene... a class of 16 three year olds is napping for two hours in their dark classroom and all we have to take their minds off the woes of preschool is my ipod and a dream machine clock radio with an auxiliary port from probably 2006

so far i've tailored a pretty good list which consists of/in:

m. ward


luka bloom's "before sleep comes" album


eight different 20 minute loops of this thing each with rain/fire/bird sounds in the background


plus more!

so U get the idea... it's good, but i want more as to avoid hearing the same songs every day namsayin. so what you think about anything along these lines... stuff that is just really really slow and lethargic yafeelme...

thanks dgg

Also I think my friend played drums for that empire empire guy on his tour

This request made me think of the 1964 album "Soothing Sounds for Baby" that Wikipedia says was "originally intended to lull infants to sleep" but it is just a bunch of "insane" sounding abrasive electronic music, so would not recommend it at all

yeah it sounds kinda cool but def too fast and abrasive... "abrasive" the term i was using to describe this CD of radiohead music turned into lullabies for kids:

perhaps some of these will be appropriate :)

cornelius - tone twilight zone


pinback - boo


the appleseed cast - a dream for us


jeff bridges - sleeping tapes (full album)


listen to wikipedia being edited

son lux - enough of our machines


seekae - dome


team sleep - ever (foreign flag)


american analog set - choir vandals


jeremy enigk - world waits


mew - silas the magic car


near the parenthesis - the listening surround


evenings - lately


i guess?

thank you

the Wikipedia one is really good.. rest are either too fast/loud/have too much percussion

I've been debating using the jeff bridges sleeping tapes... not sure how "appropriate" it is for three year olds, they might get distracted or w/e
