sullysue Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I have a tendency to obsess on certain bands, a genre, what have you. I would very like my fellow TRFers to suggest new bands and musical directions so my brain doesn't turn into a vaccum of nothing but Porcupine Tree and Marillion. Seriously, guys. Those two bands plus Rush are the only music my ears can tolerate. Give me stuff that you are PASSIONATE about. Not old stuff. I know about Genesis and Yes and all that. I'm looking for newer bands with newer sounds that will blow me away. Give it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mankad89 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Circa Survive. Their singer has a high-pitched voice, but as a Rush fan, you should be OK with that. Musically, they are top-notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should add that stuff like Coheed and Cambria makes me want to claw my face off. I do not like C & C. Blech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try. But, seriously, I know all of that. I'm looking for bands that perhaps are flying under the radar that I've missed and should be listening to.

Disco Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Great idea for a thread, and who here doesn't get a little genre bound from time to time? My submission for your consideration, is the artist I've enjoyed most over the last couple of years, Trentemoller. In short, it's melancholy electronica. The longer version is this. As you know there was a great movement in dance music a few years ago called Trance. It was the music of euphoria. It wasn't subtle though. Every four measures another uplifting sound would come in as the music romped along from one peak time euphoric moment to another. Don't know what to do next? Throw in a rave horn!!! As fun as it was, there needed to be a reaction to it, hence the minimal house we have now. It strips the music back down to its core. The trouble is most of it is devoid of emotion and just boring thuds of bass drums. In my view, the art of minimalism is to create the biggest emotion with the fewest elements. To create expressive music without excess. This is what Trentemoller does. The sound also moves away from the smooth crisp sounds traditionally associated with dance and brings in a breathy distortion. Here's a typical track (keep with it, it's a builder) My wife and I enjoyed his concerts in our courting days and his tracks were played at our wedding. If you find yourself enjoying the melancholy electronica vibe, then there is also the awesome Burial. He's a big critical hit in the UK and has helped to redefine electronica with his vapourous depiction of urban melancholy. I wasn't allowed this track at my wedding, but very much wanted it played over dinner: I'll enjoy other dipping into everyone's suggestions.
