To kick off, let me share my recommendations:

  1. Charlie Gabriel and Hall Preservation Jazz Band - 89
  2. Hermanos Gutierrez - you can check out their performance on last month NPR Tiny Desk
  3. Gogeum Records - A S. Korean label focusing on tradional music. Among the artists, I would like to recommend 2nd Moon album.
  4. Phazzadelic - aka De-Phazz, a (club, lounge) jazz band/label

You can also check some from my past post.

EDIT: Fixed Hermanos Gutierrez's link per u/danadam's notice. Thanks!

My collection consists mostly of /r/symphonicmetal and related music, female vocals, and lesser-known artists/bands at that. Here are some highlights:

  • Cecile Monique is my second favourite artist of all time (the first does not have a Bandcamp page), and her album Genesis is my favourite album of all time for the beautiful vocals and orchestrations. The title track is the perfect introduction to her.
  • Everdawn is a bit more power/speed metal with a dramatic soprano singer and also excellent production. Just listen to 'Infinity Divine'.
  • Nachtmuse is similar to Everdawn, and the 2021 album with singer Maude Théberge is pretty good, but my favourite release is still the 2017 demo featuring Alina Gavrilenko, the lead singer of Everdawn, and Laura Sasiadek, my aforementioned favourite artist of all time. Laura's rendition of the final chorus of 'Sky Garden' is just something else (and it's been suggested that it won't be her last feature in Nachtmuse).
  • Age of Athena's album is a more modern, heavier and very interesting take on the subgenre/style. My favourite track here is 'Burn Down the Sun'.
  • Ignea is a Ukrainian band with more death metal influences, and a female vocalist who is great at both singing and growling. They have already released 2 full-length albums and 2 EPs, with the third full-length album coming out next month, and the first single from that album might legitimately be their best song to date.
  • Eleine is another great band, with a darker and doomier twist. My favourite song is 'Ava of Death' from the album Dancing in Hell.

Anything by Macroblank/Haircuts for Men. Very chill vaporwave and all of their albums are NYP as well.

Alfa Mist - amazing contemporary jazz, Structuralism is his best album imo.

DIM - Neo-classical/dungeon synth. Very beautiful and atmospheric music, check out Compendium II.

Hello Meteor - my personal favorite artist and criminally unknown. Coastal Obscure is a good starting point.

Brothertiger - upbeat and lush synth-pop. Self-titled or Out of Touch are phenomenal.

Vanilla - one of the best lofi hip hop producers, definitely check him out if you like Dilla or Nujabes. His trilogy (Origin, Moonlight, Into the Dream) is incredible.

Machine Girl - crazy internet brainmelt music. Definitely an acquired taste but I love them. WLFGRL is their most well known album.

Das Kommando

I will admit it's my own project. It's a mix of harsh noise and DSBM. I put in a lot of effort to make as miserable and bitter of a soundscape as possible.

Some stuff I've been real into, in no particular order. I have a wide taste in music and enjoy difficult things, so, fair warning.

Thanks for the recommendations.

Recently, I've been digging (to name a few):

I like this kind of thread. Let's do one every time?

I've added about half of your recommendations to my wish list! I'm always looking out for stuff which sounds like nothing I've ever heard before.

(and i'm embarrassed to say, I already knew clowncore!)

Please sir, may I follow you on bandcamp?
