Discoveries
Huh, I don't know. Post music from any artists you've discovered recently. Or even less recently. Tell us about them, see if others can get into them. At a minimum, I'd suggest genre/sub-genre and maybe "sounds like" in the way Anteater does his "put on a playlist with". Or not.

Nils Petter Molvær
Norwegian jazz trumpeter and considered a pioneer of nu jazz/future jazz (blending jazz with electronic stylings and other genres). Not sure if I dig this guy's stuff yet or not - but that wasn't a requirement in the original post. Compared to most jazz fusion, or hell, even bebop, this stuff is pretty tame in comparison. I'd compare this kind of music to Miles Davis' 1980s output, e.g. Decoy, Tutu |

John Grant. When I first came across his album in one of my threads I assumed from the picture I'd be dealing with either a country or heavy metal album. Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be frothy synth-pop! Since then I've become a real fan. What does he sound like? Hard to say really. Sometimes he gives me impressions of Cash mixed with a tougher John Martyn and maybe a small slice of Conor Oberst other times he can be a kind of Visage/Human League hybrid? Hell I don't know. I just know I like his music. |
One of my more rewarding discoveries in recent years is Ned Collette. He is Australian, but now I believe residing in Berlin. Sometimes he records as a solo artist, and sometimes with his band as Ned Collette & Wirewalker.
The music could be described folkish pop, Other acts that would not sound out ofplace on the same bill are Simon & Garfunkel, Mac de Marco, maybe the above-mentioned John Grant, though he does not really sound quite like any of them. Here is one of his more synth-pop songs - "Vanitas Quack": and here is a much more folkish song, "Grant's Farm", from his latest album: |

I came across these guys - not sure how - for I think it was Metal Month III and just loved them. I mean, why hasn't someone done this before? It's such an obvious crossover from metal to mariachi! ****ing hilarious!

Anyone who knows me knows I have no time for jazz, but I came across these guys and did feel the need to run screaming away...

Of interest probably only to Anteater and a few others, the rest of you can **** off with your smart comments.
New AOR/Melodic Rock band from Norway, superb sound somewhat reminiscent of Work of Art or Houston. Memoria Avenue* - "The Air That I Breathe", from the self-titled debut album * note: NOT Memorial Avenue, as Google will insist. Different band. |
Trolley I listen to lots of music and often have not a blimmin clue the genre, unless it is extreme of course..
Take this I just happen to tune to..love this myself..ok I love most music..:p: To me that is no hard rock but more like your example of melody rock also. Yes Or No Trolly? |
I recently discovered the music of Karen Meat, which is the musical vehicle of Iowan [Elizabeth] Arin Eaton--she goes by her middle name. The concept is similar to that of Cat Power: Karen Meat is Arin and whoever is working with her on any particular project. The music is a blend of well above average indie rock, cynical but honest lyrics, and somewhat sweet singing--all of the elements work really well together. I don't think Arin and crew have played much outside of Iowa, a situation I predict will change sooner or later. Check out Karen Meat on Bandcamp.
