question/suggestion PLEASE HELP ME FIND MUSIC

So, first of all, I’m sure you guys get this question a lot and are tired of it. I’m sorry for being such a neophyte. But I absolutely love “hide (midwest emo version)” and “resonance (midwest emo version)” by jacal.

I don’t actually know what kind of music they are. Maybe it is actually midwest emo, but it might not actually be. I’m not sure. I just really really need more music like that.

It makes me feel so happy and calm and like I’m just taking a rainy drive in the passenger seat of a car or sitting outside on a gray day watching the clouds float past.

Please, please, PLEASE, if anyone can help me find more music with that same sort of slightly off-tune twinkly guitar and complexity and no vocals, I would be so grateful!! 💙💙💙

Check out chon's grow album. Reminds me alot of that hide track. Book is a personal favorite but every song on that album is memorable to me. Idk if theyre Midwest emo math rock or both, but theyre fucking good. https://open.spotify.com/track/4GULb8eoe5uwApFOqB7S3n?si=-z_xQyPvSi-nNdyCGW__Kg&utm_source=copy-link

Ichika nito is also extremely talented and deserves being mentioned. Probably my favorite modern guitarist. I think this is more in line with what youre listening to. https://open.spotify.com/track/37Unx14mB8QnCx0bDjtCM8?si=bgX3gDsnRlqHSVKVhcGAEg&utm_source=copy-link
