Because I’m from Arkansas, when I sing I can sound like this character. I’ve been listening to country music more lately for some reason. 

“I got a thinking problem.” Sounds like standard neurosis,,,

Oh I didn't realize! I found them on Spotify while browsing for new releases, and then YT recommend their Tiny Desk Concert, apparently they won some contest. I think Tiny Desk Concert only does relatively well established artists otherwise.

Any recommendations yourself?

"Catchy Stuff":

Hailing from the Orkney Islands:

Without the voices:

I learned late last year that 1) Matt Berry made music  2) I had actually heard his music before, but didn't realize he was an actor (I saw him in "What We Do in the Shadows") .

 

Eternal post-Kraftwerk synth roll:

Featuring baby Cretu and baby Sandra, pre-Enigma. I have a similar sort of relationship with it: not sure if the instrumentals are too cheesy and about as subtle as a whack over the head, and everything is so emotionally out-there. But at the same time, that's the appeal. Zero irony, zero reservation, and a whole lot of intangible things going on emotionally and lyrically.

Also, her voice was intriguing back then too.

Other Stuff: I feel like I'm kind of late to the Mike Oldfield game. Also look, it's Karl Jenkins (of Soft Machine). Part of my musical DNA or w/e. My brother had Adiemus on repeat when I was about 12, and I got pretty sick of then. There's as lot of other stuff worth listening to though that's not Adiemus. 

Tubular Bells = brought to you courtesy of LSD.

Metal Revival: Oh look, it's time to roleplay being 16-17 again! I never had this particular album on rotation that much, but apparently now, it's time. Mostly it has sentimental value because it was favourite of a friend of mine way back when. Not coincidentally, I've been having insane dreams about him lately again.

It flows well, it makes good use of the same 2-3 major motifs. To the point that it's kind of repetitive, but then... I've also weaned myself off novelty for novelty's sake.

There was a point at which I simply started to tolerate Gothenberg Scene style synths, kind of like tolerating death metal growls. Some people make it work well enough for them, but did I ever really love the sound in its own right? Maybe not.

 I hadn't heard this until recently, surprisingly. This is WAY better than most of the music I remember listening to in this ballpark genre back then. High effort, etc.

I'm gonna listen to old Ulver, it's gonna be a metal album!

...no metal, just chill.

It's good music to wander around to in the woods at dusk.

Music to float away to another world:

 If the elements of the original track were underwater, shaken, suspended, and slowly floating down toward the deep:
