Songs or albums? I'm doing albums... Sorry if that's wrong

1. Antlers - Hospice: Pretty damn depressing, if you listen to the lyrics it's about someone dying from cancer.

2. American Music Club - Love Songs for Patriots: While this album might be seen as cheerier than their old albums because it sounds like theirs a chance at redemption, I don't like anything else by them and it's just depressing to me, like a possibility you'll never get to.

3. The Raveonettes - In & Out of Control: The whole album isn't completely sad, but pretty much all the songs are really dark and more than a few are downright depressing. Not sure how mellow it is...

4. Dirty Elegance - Finding Beauty in the Wretched: This is an ambient trip-hop type album with a combination of dark, haunting, depressing, and occasionally upbeat songs that everyone should hear.

5. Kimya Dawson - I'm Sorry That I'm Sometimes Mean: This is up there on a Hospice level. The music sounds much more upbeat, and there isn't a concept or story running through the whole album. But there's a lot of songs about different types of depression, and "Hold My Hand"... a song about child abuse that she discovers and everyone ignores, so she drowns herself and the child to stop the violence they constantly live with. Hard to get worse than that.
