You’re welcome, Brett. Looking forward to your recommendations.

Here are a couple of bands most anyone should like. Tasteful, poppy, melodic, a bit psychedelic and very good.

@Sallah_48, you said, “several plays to yield its fruits”. If you haven’t already, I recommend giving the same treatment to the Connan Mockasin albums I posted earlier in this thread. Took me a few times and then…ohhh…yeah. He’s got some weird ideas but they work and work well. Like listening to down-tempo, trippy-funk music. My girl loves his music for good reason. So well done!

Glad you’re diggin it @jrd1975. They have 3 albums which are all good as far as I’m concerned. Even if they don’t explore much outside of their particular sound.

Wanna add more chill style female vocal to your library? Give these to artist a chance.

@jrd1975 Is it just me or does Jonathan Wilson have a similar vocal sound as Adam Granduciel from The War On Drugs?

One thing for sure, his production quality is spot on. I purchased his Fanfare album a few years back in 24bit. It sounds stellar on my hifi system. The texture of all the instruments gives me the goosies.

We haven’t got into any Dubstep/Electronic recommendations here so I’ll go first. This is Jamie xx from the band The XX. Give this tune a listen all the way through. One of my favorite songs, no matter what style, of all time. It just hits me in the heart for some reason. Only wish it was longer.

Amazing collaboration between legends, awesome dub sound… crosses genres, try it even if you don’t like dub, it’s pretty soulful in its own way

You have a point there! They do sound a tad alike.

I have all his albums and saw him support Wilco a few years back which was a great gig. Production is very good and a shining example to how to not give in to the loudness wars!

I also really like Karen Elson’s album which he produced as well.

A fine album. Earnest, melodic, quite genre defying, but upbeat, americana, modern sounding but a hint of the old world here too. Heady stuff.
