Its been a long time since something so underground as like clouddead or eyedea or old sole **** has impressed me. That era was really good with experimental sounds and lyrics and the shows were small like 50 or less people and really good. I remember seeing sole and awol one play in a basement in iowa. I miss that **** but i search for artists like this and find nothing.

On the other hand artists like Earl, Death Grips, Brockhampton are putting out wildly experimental **** to huge audiences. Some of the new Earl **** is almost like odd nosdam weird and out there.

Am I looking in the wrong places?

Discuss.
