I discovered Chris Campbell and Cyrillic Typewriter. Both artists are ambient and sophisticated electronics.
I also came upon the EP Sweet Convulsions which is post-punk-gothic project of early 90's and pretty hard to find. |
Tame Impala, Erin Smith, Vice Versa, Dirty Water, Colin Lake |
Chad Smith's Bombastic Meatbats. Heard one of their tunes on the radio and found a couple of their CD's on Amazon to purchase. Unique sound. |
Almost too many to list thanks to Spotify. Their Browse/Discover feature is very helpful in this regard. Also, not to hijack this thread started in 2004, but readers of this thread might also be interested in visiting "What's In Your CDP Tonight - The Minority Report". While not totally about obscure/new...a fair amount of what's there is. Here are 5 new-to-me artists that I've been enjoying:
The Lord Dog Bird - first (red) album
All Tiny Creatures - Harbors
mewithoutYou - several, but esp. Catch For Us The Foxes & Pale Horses
Bibio - Vignetting the Compost (& various others too)
Damian Jurado - for me mainly his Richard Swift-produced trilogy: Saint Bartlett, Maraqopa, & Bros. & Sisters of the Eternal Son
I could go on ad nauseum, but won't. |
Mia Dyson from Australia. Two releases I own are killer: "Parking Lots"; and "Struck Down". Would love to see her live. My latest rock chick obsession. |
Tony Rice-Acoustics. Heard of him by way of Jerry Garcia's Pizza Tapes release years back and recognised his name browsing discogs, this one I almost passed over because of the cover. |
Fourwnds, get your hands on Rice/Grisman Jazz Quartet, another winner similar but branching out in other directions too. Cheers,
Spencer |
Leon Bridges "Coming Home" |
Garrett Lebeau, Rise to the Grind
and the Heads of State, Search for Peace |
Recently released, "Homage a Eberhard Weber". |
thanks Rja I really like Jan Garbarek and Pat Metheny as well |
@Sbank. Thanks for the heads up on that Rice/Grisman record, will definitely try and track it down. |
Discovered great jazz artist Ibrahim Maalof. |
Have always loved the big, rippling sax sound of Stanley
Turrentine since I started listening to jazz about 20 years ago.
Picked up a used CD few weeks ago of his 1965 album "Joyride" on Blue Note . Big Band (16 guys) backing him
arranger and conductor Oliver Nelson in front. Not much solo work ,its Stanley's show but here's a few of the guys in the band .
Herbie Hancock, Kenny Burell, Grady Tate,Clark Terry, Bob Cranshaw,Phil Woods and J.J Johnson !
Great sound even for Van Gelder, if there is a better big band CD I haven't heard it . |
Gretchen Peters, Blackbirds
Joan Shelley, her two albums |
Tidal music streaming service. |
Nicole SabounéTakes me back to Britain´s new wave music scene in the early eighties |
"Diana Krall" - the Audiophile default setting...spare me. |
Seasick Steve, Sonic Soul Surfer. Been getting back into the blues lately. |
