Ask Lemmy

My fave album for takeoffs is The Campfire Headphase by Boards of Canada, especially after taking an edible https://open.spotify.com/album/6uO5B6km2Dco28tOBmZtSU

Machinae Supremacy - Sidology 3 -- metal covers of songs from old video games actually also using a SID chip.

Hump Back - 「番狂わせ」(Upset) /watch?v=zlcn57wdr9E - Will likely have to watch it through Invidious or a VPN with an exit node in Japan, afaik it region locked to Japan only... ;-;

The band was somewhat recently featured on Bocchi the Rock with one of the scenes in the linked video being adapted into the cover page.

*Track from their newer album:

「がらくた讃歌」(Ode to Trash) /watch?v=XtuzSsFWKik

Dogpark Dissidents anarcho queercore punk band, need I say more?

The Rumjacks. Irish punk / rock / folk and very good.

The original singer had some issues, and was replaced by another singer with a great voice :)

Penelope Trappes, specifically her new record A Requiem. Lovely stuff, the album closer in particular gives me Lisa Gerrard vibes

Passage Du Desir - Sturgill Simpson. His whole catalog is solid if you like more classic country (Merle/Willie)with some experimental elements.

Cradle of filth - nymphetamine

The female vocals are amazing and beauty and the beast dynamic is done perfectly.

Meshuggah. I’ve known them for a while but only recently saw them live for the first time. Heaviest metal band I’ve ever seen live so far.

Ghostface killah

The newest album release by Unlease the Archers

Love music that contains storytelling

A Speculative Fiction - Propagandhi

Absolute banger, and prophetic no less. But really just everything Propaghandi has put out has been in heavy rotation the last 6 months

Not so much a particular artist but more of a genre: Instrumental covers of video game music. I haven't listened to much else in the last couple years:

In particular this acoustic guitar version of Gerudo Valley from Ocarina of Time:

And this piano version of Wood Carving Partita from Symphony of the Night:

https://youtu.be/GjKuTFnnpYM

Windhand. Sort of a psychedelic doom metal with groovy elements and a haunting, ethereal female vocalist

Juniore (French indie pop)

Nothing new, Alan Parsons Project.

Pyramid
Tales of Mystery and Imagination - Edgar Allen Poe
Eye in the Sky
Ammonia Avenue
The Turn of a Friendly Card
I Robot

Colin Stetson is a fantastic ride. He plays instrumental music, but he's playing lower-pitched instruments *wrong.".

Mics on the keys are picking up rhythmic clicking acting as the percussion. He is sometimes shouting through the instrument. The end result sounds like a chase through the woods in the dark.

Fontaines DC, the most recent album. Plus the cover Porter Robinson did of Favorite from that album.

That song with Waxahatchee and MJ Lenderman, Right Back to It.

Nilufer Yanya album My Method Actor

Joshua Ray Walker, anything by him is so good.

Free by Crush 40.

Also, Soul Coughing (El Oso since I only have that single album from them). Specifically Blame, $300, and Pensacola. This is my much more serious answer.

SLIFT's album UMMON has been on heavy rotation in my playlists for some time now.

Stitched up heart, New Year’s Day, September mourning,

-chick singer led goth metal bands

I'm not obsessed with Wisp

it's much deeper than that

Polkadot Stingray

And anything else on my Japanese music playlist :D

Always been a Clutch fan, but I've been listening to Three Golden Horns a lot the past few days.

Check out the album Glitter by Pasteboard. It's some good Japanese Shoegaze.

Literally everything by Cleopatrick and Primitive by not enough space

Their Dogs Were Astronauts - Progressive, Djenty. Hard to pick a favorite track or album.

Opeth - Started as progressive death metal but they have gotten more chill and progressive and experimental over time. Favorites for me are Blackwater Park (on the harsher end of the spectrum), Windowpane (chill end of the spectrum), Reverie / Harlequin Forest.

I've been listening to Metallica's One and ...And Justice for All repeatedly, their two best tracks.

Breaking benjamin

Been listening to The Meffs a lot lately.

Time for you to get into some American Football Never Meant (music video)

Litany

Fit For An Autopsy

More specifically, their new album just came out, The Nothing That Is, it slaps so hard I haven't listened to anything else since the CD came in.

British band "Jungle" has been in heavy rotation for me the past ~6 months. Specifically watch their music videos and the dance choreography. I suggest playing the entire album "Volcano" as one video.

(we don't need this) fascist groove thang

Egg by Mr. Bungle.

The Heavy / Short Change Hero. I just discovered them a couple weeks ago and this song has been stuck in my head ever since. I do 30 minutes on the exercise bike every morning and I just put that song on and belt out the lyrics to it at like 6:30am, much to the dismay of everyone else in the house, but they can suck it cause that song is just so goddamned singable.

Scuba "Three Sided Shape". The album (Triangulation) is really cool, too!
