Looking for similar artist/albums to early Glass Animals. I follow 4-5 bands and their last album has made me question why I ever liked them.
I need somebody new :)
Edit: I've read all of the recommendations so far, lot to go through before I comment my thoughts.
Jadu Heart - I'm A Kid
Kishi Bashi - The Ballad of Mr. Steak
Mt. Joy - She Wants To Go Dancing
The Neighbourhood - Softcore
Parachute Youth - Can't Get Better Than This
SPELLLING - Under the Sun
FM Belfast - underwear
Kishi Bashi’s album 151a is one of my favorite albums ever.
Great question, I'm interested to see what others come up with. I loved Zaba, really liked the second album, but ... yeah they fell off hard for me.
Let's see what my tired brain can scare up from that part of my music mind...
Alt-J is the closest band I can come up with right now. Check out their song Tessellate. Be warned the singer's vocal style is ... unique and very hit-or-miss.
Geographer is pretty close too, check out their albums Animal Shapes and Myth. Original Sin, Kites, and Blinders are individual standouts for me.
Starfucker's (I think they go by STRFKR now?) first album, self-titled, sits in an adjacent space in my head. I really liked their second album Reptilians, too. They're more "indie," more synthy than Glass Animals. German Love and Isabella of Castile are two standout tracks IMO.
Bonobo scratches that itch for me too, it's downtempo chilled out beats, slick production, but without the fun vocal play from Zaba. Black Sands is one of my desert island albums.
Keeping with the primate theme, how about Gorillaz? Especially their first two albums.
I think Massive Attack might be worth checking out too, but I confess they're in a bit of a blind spot for me so I don't have specific recommendations.
Happy listening!
Young Fathers, Washed Out, George Clanton, HKE - This
God, I used to love this album. Pure sex music.
Locket EP by crumb has that "wet" downtempo sound like Zaba, though the singer has a very different vibe
Music video of Locket itself is in my top 10, I'll give the rest of the album a shot thanks :)
Public Memory. They're a little on the hauntology side though.
Other than some awesome singles here/there, this entire band was my favorite from the thread. Thank you very much for sharing :)
