What specific genre? Maybe we can help right here.
Regardless of the genre, the answer is King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.
I tried to like psychedelic rock, man. I really tried.
You need to do more drugs. Or less drugs. Either way, the solution is drugs.
I don't disagree. Might be dependent on specific drugs/effects? :P
There are better kings in pyscadelic rock. King Buffalo maybe? King Gizzard is not always easy listening.
It sounds ridiculous but I promise I’m being serious. I’m looking for instrumental songs that are from the middle ages / the renaissance, with fun and fast-paced beats that just makes you wanna dance to it. Think of the POTC soundtrack but medieval. An example is the song “Im Maien” by Piffaro. I’m writing a story at the moment that takes place during this time and I could really use some upbeat, party bangers as inspiration lmao.
Not exactly what you're looking for, but the Bardcore genre is the modern equivalent - pop songs retrofitted with medieval aesthetic.
Stuff like this: https://youtu.be/lB9LJJQ8wzw?si=Qw9af_W-IP7rrfZp https://youtu.be/cRIfsFefatg?si=y65PQnev4iGr-1I8 https://youtu.be/u3UVOjiorHE?si=7Pc94vX5Trt9-pKn
I have listened to that! While they’re funny, I can’t take them very seriously, especially when writing. :')
Yeah, I still consider it pop music first. Not sure how prolific actual historical works are, but fantasy/period soundtracks might have to suffice. Good luck!
