I wonder what happened over the past day or so to bring our compatibility down to Very High! Not that it's a very big difference anyway... but yes, follow time!! :)

Probably because of me listening to more Vocal Jazz

Thank you so much!! There's nothing quite like Dewotts and Loops :D Your library reminds me that De La Soul and Autechre are quite glaring blind spots in my library and I should really dive into their music at some point! What songs or albums of theirs do you recommend as a good place to start?

Hi Talon, thank you for following me back. What are your thoughts about Cameron Winter’s debut album, Heavy Metal? Greetings

Thanks for sharing your comments. It was an insane surprise to me because I didn’t know back when Heavy Metal was realized that he was also in Geese. I found his album really amazing, with peculiar lyrics and a beautiful instrumentation that with his voice, that is quite beautiful (reminded me to Jeff Buckley and Thom Yorke in “Drinking age”). Definitely a great surprise at the end of last year.

on another note, I see Stereolab in your recent plays. I've only listened to Transient Random-Noise Bursts With Announcements. it seems like I should absolutely love them, but for some reason I tend to zone out when I try and play a full album of theirs...do you have a favorite song (from any record)? sometimes it helps to just focus on one single song and intently focus until I "get" it.

Those albums are really good comparisons for the sort of feeling I get from FH... and you've reminded me I need to listen to more of Belle and Sebastian's works! Stereolab are one of my favorite bands (heck, they're my #1 overall artist by a wide margin!) and they have such varied sound palettes throughout their discography... Rainbo Conversation is probably my favorite song of theirs overall, though many come close. For a handful of songs from different albums, I also really love Crest, Cybele's Reverie, Puncture in the Radax Permutation, and Naught More Terrific Than Man. And I'd say it's a very close call between Dots and Loops and Cobra and Phases Group as my favorite album... both are absolutely crammed with different musical influences even between individual songs, they're such joys to get lost in!!

ok, so I listened to Dots and Loops and...effing amazing. it's like, a perfect mix of avant-garde but also welcoming, warm and uplifting. I'm going to spin this a lot the next few days I think. it does demand a lot of attention, but seems worth it! I appreciate you recing it, my disconnection from Stereolab can now be declared broken :)

Hello and happy new year!! Thank you for the follow, and I followed you back on RYM! I try to make sure my music listening is preserved on here whenever I can lol. I like to think of Lastfm as a music diary of sorts — being able to look back on what I was listening to on a given date several years ago is something I really value. Though with stuff like apps letting you scrobble through audio recognition, sometimes I fear I've gotten a bit too obsessive about it 😭

Hello, thanks for reaching out here! I haven't heard of Ponytail actually, but they sound very interesting so I'll definitely peep their music! I must recommend Geese and/or their frontman Cameron Winter's solo material, as they're among the most exciting acts in the indie/art rock scene right now. The first two tracks on 3D Country are a great showcase of how versatile they are. They've been debuting new songs live recently, which has me excited that they might announce new studio material soon! I appreciate the recommendation, take care now!

Thank you!! Big ups for Vylet Pony and Coil being so high in your library! You can learn a lot from anybody's libraries, really (although I wish there were an easier/more accessible way to compare libraries outside of Discord bots). I'm a huge fan of Lamp and I feel you might enjoy their music. Their album For Lovers is stunningly good pop with lots of creative influences, jazz and bossa nova being a couple of them.

ive been meaning to listen to lamp they're one of the artists i know ill love i just need to wwit for my brain to want to click with them same with like sterolab and stuff :3 and i love vylet and coil super important artists to me!!

I shall, thank you!! I've been idly meaning to get into Hozier and Portugal. The Man — I suppose it's never too late! (Also I'm curious about why Kendrick isn't in our top mutual artists, since I've listened to a fair amount of his music)

hozier is absolutely one of my favorite artists, i hope you enjoy listening to him! i also like a good bit of portugal. the man’s stuff but they arent one of my favorite favorites. it is indeed weird that kendrick isnt higher lol

Haha thanks!! I'm aiming for it to grow even wilder with time.

Awesome indeed :D Your library reminds me I need to get into Sun Kil Moon's music, because Duk Koo Kim is such a phenomenal song!! Also the Brave Little Abacus and Deerhunter... there's just too much music ;_;

All amazing artists!!

Have you gotten into any trip hop (like Portishead or Massive Attack)? If you dug the Stereolab albums you've listened to, the band Cibo Matto is basically the halfway point between Stereolab and trip hop—their album Stereo Type A might be a great introduction for ya. Open Mike Eagle is an underappreciated rap artist I feel more people should hear, his album Brick Body Kids Still Daydream rules. I've also been listening to Natalia Lafourcade's new album De Todas Las Flores soooo much the past couple months. It's absolutely phenomenal, and I'd recommend it to just about anybody. Hope you enjoy! :D

Uh oh! Your library reminds me I should get around to playing Hollow Knight and Omori, those games have been on my radar for a long time. I should get my Toby Fox plays up too lol. What artists do you recommend?

We have a bunch of overlapping artists, I'm surprised it isn't Super! Messes up my cyclops mind.

For much of that time period I hadn't even heard of Radiohead! Those were simpler times.

bro...

🏮🏮

Happy new year to you too! :D

Apparently your recent Greta Van Fleet scrobbles raised our compatibility to Very High, even though neither of us have scrobbled them that much! Lastfm's compatibility algorithm is... interesting lol

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Thank you :D I've since checked out her album "Songs" and really loved it! It goes very well with the rainy weather we're having over here.

After being hooked by Big Thief's Masterpiece, I definitely will!

Eyy! I love your pfp, Ceres and Calypso is a wonderful album!

aaaa thank you c: agreed, its such a solid shoegaze record!

Helllo!

Yo!

Hi! :o

That album's got some bangers! One of my friends introduced me to it while we were out on a drive; it works wonders as a vehicle experience. It got me more interested in future funk music in general, I'm gonna check out more music in the genre one of these days. You should totally check it out, it's great!

Hi, thank you! We have so many artists in common!! I've been delaying getting into The Smiths for far too long, maybe I'll do that sooner or later. One of the many pains of having a huge music backlog haha

Great stuff! :) I still gotta get into more Fishmans music. Long Season has been sitting in my backlog for far too long. If you haven't checked out Ichiko Aoba's album qp yet, I highly recommend it - that one is my favorite of hers.
