The thread where you talk about non-metal music you like.

The singer of this band also used to own a record store in a shithole, warzone neighborhood in chicago called the dummyroom. Used to take a bus there in the early 90's. Was a cool, very small place. Good memories

Finally gave Sturgill Simpson's new record a few more spins. And I still don't know how I feel about it. Maybe I'm just being a "butt hurt fanboy who wants him to make Metamodern 15 more times", something Sturg said referring to a country journalist in a recent podcast, but his words and voice in this are still very much country, just set to driving synth-rock. It's an interesting combination, I guess, and I'm not one to pin an artist down to one genre, they can do whatever the fuck they want as long as it's genuine and not a cash grab. I just don't know if I like this album very much even letting it stand on its own, separate from the music that made me a huge fan of his.

That song he did for Jim Jarmusch's The Dead Don't Die is pretty good, though.
 
Been getting really deep into synthwave and a little bit into related genres like vaporwave. A couple favorites below.

Deadlife is amazing, especially on this album. I've been studying how to make electronic music lately and I can already recognize that what this guy does is advanced. I wish I could sit down with this guy and pick his brain to find out how he makes some of his sounds.



I guess this 2814 album is like vaporwave/ambient or whatever. It's a collaboration between two prominent artists in these genres. It's become one of my absolute favorite albums. It's a perfect late-night isolation album. Very fitting for these times.
