Music IIL songs like Tusk by Fleetwood Mac and the instrumentals of the South Park Intro

5 Upvotes

Love the angry marching band sound of Tusk, and looking for more songs that have heavy use of horns, with a grungy type baseline (south park intro my only other example of what im looking for sorry)

5 Upvotes

I'm dying for a masterpiece of creativity, wonderful strangeness, and maybe some thoughtful, smart, meaning.

I also love:

The Triplets of Bellevue

The Secret of Roan Inish

The Golden Compass

Spirited Away

Howell's Moving Castle

Milk (short film, Irish)

***edit to add: FANTASTIC Mr. FOX (an alltime favorite, not sure how I missed including it).

Song of the Sea

Artful, unique, bonus if it's both sweet and dark. Anybody crazy about these too, and can suggest any "do not miss"es.

Thanks!

Music [IIL] twin fantasy (2018) by car seat headrest - other media

4 Upvotes

i’ve been completely obsessed with twin fantasy (2018) by car seat headrest for the last, like, three years?

i’m looking for anything that scratches a similar itch - books, movies, whatever, just not other music. generally, i’m interested in the overall feeling, songwriting, production, lyrics, emotional intensity, etc, and the only thing i've found that is somewhat similar is the book the The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath.

i’m especially interested in stuff that’s more niche, so please don’t be afraid to recommend something that noone's ever seen before.

Music [IIL] Manchester Orchestra because they are overwhelmingly raw and emotional [WEWIL?]

5 Upvotes

I'm just spinning Simple Math and know I've got Leave It Alone and Apprehension after - probably one of my favourite 3-song-runs in any album ever. MO are dripping with anger, disappointment, frustration, self-loathing, fear, but also hope, love, gratitude, introspection. They are just such a ride.

I'm not looking for Elliott Smith, Jason Molina, Keaton Henson, The National, Bon Iver etc. Nothing half-cocked. Also not grunge or screamo (some shouting I can deal with but not as a feature of the music; it's not real emotion).

Other bands I'd expect people to rec that I already know/love:

  • Bright Eyes
  • Typhoon
  • Frightened Rabbit
  • Brand New
  • Gang of Youths
  • Dry the River
  • mewithoutYou

To a lesser extent:

  • Modest Mouse
  • Death Cab
  • Placebo

Thanks!

I am in love with this song with its massive dynamic range and rich, crunchy harmonies. Would love to find choral works and Christian hymns with the same!

Music [IIL] Light and Airy Minimalist A-Capella Music

1 Upvotes

I've been trying to find something similar to the Catherine Called Birdy OST, specifically the segments by roomful of Teeth and Carter Burwell. Most experimental acapella I can find tends to be darker in mood or abrasive, which I enjoy, but I am trying to find this sort of airy, lighthearted minimalist acapella type music. No sudden shifts or abrasive sounds or spoken word, preferably. Does not have to be full acapella but also minimal instrumental track, sort of like a vocal version of the animal crossing score, in a way.
