I’m about to take a long flight and am looking to expand my music library.

EDIT: Thanks so much, everyone! I’ve got 10.5 hours of music on my new playlist thanks to you all!

    The new Deafheaven album is amazing.

    Snooze - I Know How You Will Die - Out of left field discovery. They have a really diverse sound scape. It’s mostly metal but does a good job of not following a set genre of metal.

    BCNR - Forever Howlong - is a grower, not a shower. At first I didn’t really like Tyler’s songs because she left absolutely no room for anything to breath. But I’ve done a 180 on them as I find her voice so soothing.

      dang, I think we’d be great friends! The Snooze album is most likely going to be my album of the year, and I also strongly agree, new Deafheaven is fucking great. Looking forward to the new Vildhjarta too, whenever that drops!

    King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. About to release their 27th album and have covered pretty much every genre so no matter what you like, there’s probably a record for you. My favorite is the Flying Yellow Microtonal Banana, full of great tracks, but Billabong Valley has broad appeal.

      King gizzard are exceptional, only downside is that it can be a little intimidating with 27 studio albums to choose from for a first listener! Honestly a good method to pick based on what you like is from their album covers, they do a pretty good job summing up what it’ll sound like imo.

        The other way to navigate it is if you get into the storyline of the Gizzverse, the fictional universe that is referenced throughout their songs, but not in chronological order. Trying to piece it together has encouraged me to branch out and listen to albums I otherwise might have ignored.

        To each their own. That’s part of what makes KGLW so fascinating. They’re a band that two people with very different musical tastes can both love equally!

        Never heard of him, just googled it and the description sounds similar. I’ll check it out tomorrow as I’m about to go to bed, but thanks for something new to check out!

          Synth metal is right up my alley and I’d call Carpenter Brut the king of it.

          Few tracks I’d recommend in particular:

          • Hairspray Hurricane

          • Turbo Killer

          • Le Perv

          There’s way more than that but that’s a good start. Of his albums, Trilogy is more synth, Leather Teeth is middle, and Leather Terror is more metal, but all of them go extremely hard

            Just checked a few of his videos on you tube and I’d say leather teeth is my favorite and the closest to in this moments style.

            In this moment leans heavier in the dark/nü metal stuff with a lot more lyrics. The singer has an absolutely angelic voice and then dives deep into a growl and switches back and forth often several times in one song. Her melodic voice is like a sirens call, hypnotizing you. Then she switches and you’re ankles are dragged to hell as she yells at you. It’s fucking amazing and I really hope she doesn’t kill her vocal cords doing that. It’s seriously hauntingly beautiful.

            But after checking out a few of those videos, I gotta say thanks for your recommendation, it’s dope AF and I just made a new Pandora station thanks to you. 👍

            Update: still listening to it. My kid is gonna fucking love listening to this in my mx-5. This is absolutely our jam. Thanks again.

              Glad you like it! I’m curious which singer you are referring to since as far as I know all the vocals in Carpenter Brut songs are via collaboration.

              Some other of my favourite songs from him:

              • The Good Old Call

              • Vances De 87 (Carpenter Brut Remix)

              • Lipstick Masquerade

              • MANIAC

              • Looking for Tracy Tzu

              Listen to the first song in Trilogy, “Escape from Midwich valley”. It starts out like of slow but the end perfectly sets up the rest of the album as very heavy synth

              Be careful driving while listening to CB, driving under the speed limit may be an effort in futility while you listen!

              Also, if you listen to Leather Terror, there’s 2 songs in there that have to be played back to back and its unbelievably hard. That would be Day Stalker and Night Prowler. Try listening to them back to back. Night Prowler starts extremely heavy

                The singer I was referring to was the singer from In This Moment, which I was comparing carpenter brut to, for reference. But yeah I’m definitely digging it as well as a few other artists I’ve never heard of on this playlist.
