Music You've Just "Discovered"

[TechnicolorGreenEyes]

Could be a new band nobody has heard of, or a classic you'd never got round to listening to and anything in between that just made you think "Wow, this is good"

I am currently listening to:

Le Loup - The Throne of the Third Nations Millennium General Assembly

and it made me think that this thread should be created. Le Loup, on their Last.FM, are compared to Animal Collective, I personally don't agree with that comparison but I can see why they would think that, they have the whole Acoustic/Electronic crossover thing that I really love and first witnessed on Thom Yorke's solo album with a bit of Sufjan Stevens/Fleet Foxes thrown in.

It's really worth checking out (am I allowed to post download links in here?)

[Tnspieler1012]

I've known about him for a while, but it took me until 3 days ago to really explore the music of M83. I was completely blown away by the album 'Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts' when I listened to it for the first time. Since then I've come down from my cloud of euphoria, but its still truly remarkable stuff.

[Briggins]

^ I still haven't checked em out. But I want to at some point.

[squareone13]

I heard stuff by The Temper Trap yesterday and was impressed...

[The Escapist]

i just discovered two weeks ago how good the new keane album is. I sort of put it last to their other stuff but now i really enjoy it. I am also discovering some panic at the disco songs i havent heard before

[Julie]

The new Bat For Lashes album, took me a couple of listens to get though but now I love it. :D

[Crests of Daylight]

Owl City.

[strawberryfields]

I'll have to check out everything you guys have mentioned.

I'm just getting into Pink Floyd, after hearing their music only once about 5 years ago. And I just discovered Sea Wolf and Marching Band, who are both awesome.

[Crests of Daylight]

OOOH! and Nevershoutnever!

[shipoffools]

Blondie
Howling Bells
Parachute
The Smiths

[ivet]

uuhhhmmm... Keane, Eskimo Joe, and Grizzly Bear :wacky:

[Ambercat]

The Kooks' newest album. I love the singer's voice, it's very recognizable.

[Twizted Logik]

The Frames for me. They've been making amazing music for about 15 years and I'm just now getting into it.




I'm just getting into Pink Floyd
Get more into it, great band. :thumbsup:

[R_Burns]

Bombay Bicycle Club.

New English band - www.myspace.com/bombaybicycleclub

[Mig-El]

The Hoosiers, I really liked them

[squareone13]

Empire Of The Sun - very retro :dance:

[TechnicolorGreenEyes]

I am so disappointed with how this thread turned out

[crawlinwithin]

Electric Touch, though it's really YOU guys who need to discover them!

[Crests of Daylight]

Swimming With Dolphins

please keep the download links in the multimedia section, you can post a link to the post in that section


and nice thread

well, I've just "discovered" this band called telekinesis, it's pretty much like death cab for cutie but I liked their album, I just listened to the album for the first time so I can't say more about it, maybe I'll hate it later, all depends of the mood :P

[Crests of Daylight]

Basshunter

[Twizted Logik]

haha no way, I just discovered them by accident a couple days ago. The guy looks and sounds so much like the DCFC singer. He's really good.

I just discovered them last week as well! They do remind me a lot of DCFC.

[tauiwi]

coldplay. one day they'll be huge.

[deaths_friend]

slowly discovering The Maccabees.

YouTube - The Maccabees - Love You Better

cool band. they remind of someone but i just cant remember who.

[parachutes_]

Basshunter

you need this - :hug:
i feel sorry for you

[heartswarm]

This Town Needs Guns (http://www.myspace.com/thistownneedsguns) makes pretty cool music.

[noonsun]

I am so disappointed with how this thread turned out

hahahahaha

Guys, I think he meant obscure bands...

[deaths_friend]

i think most of the artists/bands on this page at least have been fairly obscure. aside from Empire of the Sun and Basshunter i have never heard of any of the other acts and i like to think i have a half decent idea of whats going on in music.

Well, okay, it's been a few months.

By the way, thanks for the link.

[parachutes_]

:hug: but why?

he's so annoying!
i remember the summer when "boten anna" was played on the radio ALL THE TIME :stunned:

[ze_scientist]

slowly discovering The Maccabees.

YouTube - The Maccabees - Love You Better (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fs1wkwAMQc)

cool band. they remind of someone but i just cant remember who.

heyyy same here :nice:

a friend of mine went see them live last thursday and told me about them ( that was kinda a little concert of almost unknow bands in Paris)

i'm just discovering them and while we're into it this song too :lol:
they seem great

[tauiwi]

I just found out who metric are. nice!

[bee_panda]

Dead Man's Bones

[deaths_friend]

@ TechnicolorGreen Eyes

is this a bit more like what you wanted this thread to turn out like?

[Briggins]

I just found out who metric are. nice!

thumbs up

[Open, Politik]

he's so annoying!
i remember the summer when "boten anna" was played on the radio ALL THE TIME :stunned:
Its soooo much better in Swedish than English:D

[parachutes_]

^haha... well.. I think they both suck ;)

[squareone13]

I am so disappointed with how this thread turned out

hahahahaha

Guys, I think he meant obscure bands...

Yeah, but people get into different bands/music at different times and for different reasons; what's obscure to some, could be quite mainstream to others...

I'm forever just 'discovering' some music I like, only to find the band have been around for ages and every other cool kid on the street has already heard them...:shrug:

...not that I hang out on streets with any cool kids.... :lol:

[TechnicolorGreenEyes]

I even said in my first post, I don't care if it's a mainstream band. I think someone put "The Feeling" and that just sickens me really, but that's to do with peope's music tastes in general and not the thread.

That comment was actually referring to me wantint people to actually write a bit more than just the bands name, as I sort of saw it as being a reccomendation thread too, like "I just discovered this, you should listen to, this is why:" maybe even link to a particularly good song etc.

Nobody is going to check out a band on name alone, plus it doesn't really give any insight unless the person reading is completely familiar with the band.

[Tnspieler1012]

You've got a point, so far this thread has basically become a WOM game.

[ze_scientist]

i forgot to post Phoenix too
a french band who sings in english
very very nice

[Julie]

Phoenix are amazing, they sound kind of like Beck with a mix of Friendly Fires and a little pinch of MGMT. You should check them out!

I recomend Lisztomania, 1901, and Fences or better yet the whole new album.

YouTube - Phoenix - Lisztomania Official Video (Best Quality + Lyrics)

or and if you aren't convinced yet, they're french! :heart:

[TechnicolorGreenEyes]

1901 = win. Such a great song. Other than that though they do tend to blend into a load of other bands who do the same kind of thing.

Oh and they sound nothing like MGMT or Beck.

[ze_scientist]

don't worry i know all now :smug:
i'm convinced they're french :rolleyes:
i'm proud of them btw
run run run is also good

1901 = win. Such a great song. Other than that though they do tend to blend into a load of other bands who do the same kind of thing.

Oh and they sound nothing like MGMT or Beck.

yeah they sound a bit like MGMT but i really don't like this band :thinking:

[Julie]

Well i think they sound a little like them, like Fences reminds me of Electric Feel alot. Mainly the sound not the singing.

I couldn't really think of any other good comparisons :tongue:

[ze_scientist]

well to be true i don't listen to MGMT
don't look for another comparison they're just unique ahaha :P

[strawberryfields]

as far as Phoenix goes, I really like 1901 but I can't get into anything else by them.

I'm just starting to listen to Sea Wolf. The singing reminds me a lot of The Killers, but their sound is completely different, sort of indie-acousticish.

[crawlinwithin]

Here's a couple:
Nik Armstrong & The Thieves
IV Thieves
Cage the Elephant
Jacuzzi Boy
Free Energy
M83

or if you wanna dance, I highly recommend this song (awesome summer jam btw):
YouTube - VEGA - No Reasons

OR if you're into hip hop, check out Chiddy Bang or Wale

woop woop!

[deaths_friend]

here is a band that i'm very very excited about. i dont think anybody else has mentioned them on this thread and if you have then *high five*. They are called The Big Pink and they're basically what you would call a Shoegazer band much like Silversun Pickups with alot of Smashing Pumpkins influence and even a bit of Pink Floyd in them. I've really only heard 2 songs but i'm hooked.

YouTube - The Big Pink - Velvet

a person described them as a mix of My Bloody Valentine and Jesus+Mary Chain.

PLEASE LISTEN YOU WILL NOT REGRET!!

[iadamh]

The beatles, lol seriously. Just got sgt.pepper its amazing

[bee_panda]

Kissaway Trail, a Danish band.

[ze_scientist]

The beatles, lol seriously. Just got sgt.pepper its amazing

:uhoh: i confess i am in the same case as you

[Open, Politik]

I had Jon Hopkins album since it came out but listened just a little while ago when I was revising, so brilliant and great to revise with, when I though music should'nt be used when revising

[jay.jett]

Matt Corby! To all you Australians you may remember him as being the 'pretty boy' on idol but it turns out he isn't like that at all. He just released a new EP from an independent label. He decided not to sign to Sony bmg and I am SO freaking happy. Listen to it people! it's called 'Song For...' It's a four song EP.

:)

Keep this out of my thread please ^^ It's pointles having this thread if people just post a band name.


------------


My new discovery is Múm, they aren't exactly a new unheard of band which is what makes them perfect for me to show what I meant for this thread to be, much like in my first post where I explained a bit about the band and even linked to some music.

I found Múm (pronounced "moom") when talking to one of my friends, they are Icelandic which naturally draws comparisons to Sigur Rós and I can see the comparison...slightly. Múm are a much more upbeat kind of band, not that they are really happy, merely that they are less despondent than Sigur Rós I find them much more accessible than Sigur Rós as well, as much as I appreciate their musical genius I just find them hard to actually sit and listen to Múm don't have this problem, they also incorporate a lot more "happy" sounding instruments and synths into the songs, makes for a great listening experience. I'd strongly suggest listening to their album "Go Go Smear The Poison Ivy" the current stand out song for me is "Dancing Behind My Eyelids"

YouTube - Dancing Behind My Eyelids

Hopefully this sets an example for what I actually want people to do in this thread.

[bee_panda]

^I like them!
I've been listening to Finally We Are No One & Yesterday Was Dramatic Today Is OK.
I haven't heard other albums though.

[the_gloaming09]

Modest Mouse... I've never listened to this band before, but one of my friends was showing me some songs, and they're pretty good!


...I like the vocals... the band is quite trippy :smoking:...haha

[Crests of Daylight]

If you guys don't check out Owl City I wil beat you up. :evil:

Other than that, have a nice day :cheesy:

But they are so happy and catchy, I am like obsessed.

They have 2 songs on iTunes right now, I cant upload a Youtube video because Youtube doesnt work on this computer.

I kinda discovered them also but it's more this song that I can't seem to get out my head at all. I haven't checked out their albums at all though. It's this song:

[Crests of Daylight]

You're gping to Owl City?!?!
I'm so jealous :bigcry:

They're awesome. Pretty good post-rock, and very emotive songs. Their songs tend to have a climax... perfect for relaxing.

i will post some vids later

[The Mad Hatter]

^They're both really great. I really love "Charlotte Mittnacht (The Fabulous Destiny Of...)"by DeVotchKa and "Your Light Is Spent" by Final Fantasy. :wacko:

[ze_scientist]

i still listenned to only two songs for both and can't remember the name
but i liked it

i will give a listen to those
thanks for the advice :)
btw they almost have the same style as Beirut and Arcade Fire :)

[TechnicolorGreenEyes]

Final Fantasy wrote all the strings for Beirut's Flying Cup Club, I've never actually listened to him though, I probably should

[Yellow Hill]

He's such a great musician.

[ariadnasquire]

... discovered many bands this year when trying to listen all new albums of this year (sky larkin, kleerup, the young knives ... ), and giving a listen to indie music made here... (deluxe, russian red, la habitación roja ...).
but the most recent band that i've discovered is Ceesau.

[squareone13]

Gold Heart Assembly

A new-ish London band - I heard them played on the radio this morning. They were likened to Fleet Foxes by the dj but they're not quite as full on beardy folk as Fleet Foxes - they're a bit more upbeat and more rocky on a few tracks.

Listening to the myspace (http://www.myspace.com/goldheartassembly) songs right now...liking The Jesus Wheel very much.

I couldn't find many youtube links -but this is a nice track...:thumbsup:
YouTube - The Last Decade

"They take a joyous acoustic beardy bunch of ideas and mess around with them like a cat playing with a ball of string. Already you could easily put them out on tour supporting Fleet Foxes or The Low Anthem (now there's an idea). And they smile at each other on stage - which is so out of character for new bands these days (unless it's a nervous tick) that it's actually quite infectious." Steve Lamacq

[Cirrus Minor]

I recently discovered Zechs Marquise. It consists of purely instrumental music, that I couldn't describe clearly in a few words, but let's say it sounds like keyboard/guitar driven rock, with a few strange uses of other instrument.

They only released one album, Our Delicate Stranded Nightmare, off which the last song, Our Delicate Midnight Opera is a complete masterpiece.


http://zechsmarquise.bandcamp.com/track/our-delicate-midnight-opera?permalink

[TechnicolorGreenEyes]

Sonic Youth! I'd been meaning to give them a chance for a while and I am so glad I did, Daydream Nation is such a brilliant album, starts off with an amazing track in "Teen Age Riot" and it just keeps going at that pace, one great track after the other. I've only listened to it a few times and I already love it, it might take a bit more to grow on you, but listen!

[tauiwi]

I am so glad I found the editors, cant believe I hadn't heard of them before, too!

[MK]

Arcade Fire

[Ambercat]

Super Furry Animals' new album, Dark Days/Light Years. Hilarious, I forgot about them completely.

[indanomati]

Portugal. The Man

Album:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/7b/Ptm_church_mouth_cover_hi.jpg

A great new find. Has that 70s rocky/bluesy feel to it that I absolutely loved.

They have a new album out too; "The Satanic Satanist", which I'm yet to get.

I can't post a link here but if anyone's interested, I'd be happy to help.

I went to the zoo yesterday and one of the zookeepers told me about this band, "Abraham the Poor," while I was at the butterfly exhibit. I'm listening to them now and they're actually kinda cool, I guess. I like bands that have that desert-y, folksy, feel to them and this has got that.

Not really Recent, but the last band I discover was John Mayer Trio, and well however unband he is, John Mayer.

If you look past his poopy radio hits, he is a blues man tot he heart. He has a good voive and can play the guitar. He is a giant ball of talent!

Athlete. They're just TOTALLY amazing! :) I didn't know them until I discovered them just a few days ago! I only had to listen to their album "Tourist" once and I completely fell in love with their sound. Now I just can't wait to see them live as the support of Keane at the end of this month... :dance:

[laxloverr1993]

I've been listening to You Me At Six (another british band) and i like them quite alot.
Also putting in a good word for the Airborne Toxic Event-- fantastic!

[squareone13]

I heard Passion Pit (To Kingdom Come) on the radio today & it was pretty good so I have just checked out a few more songs off their debut album via yootoob - sound like a good mix of Mew & Empire of The Sun to me :dance:

Might have to think about buying that one...

You guys have probably all heard of them before, but I've been loving The Bird and The Bee... kind of jazzy, '60s retro electronica. Great beats and Inara George's voice is gorgeous. Her delivery is very cool and detached, which actually fits the music perfectly.

those guys are doing their first run of shows later this year in australia. should be interesting. never got into them so cant be bothered paying the money to see them. Half Mast was my fave song on the album.

[Sparks22]

The Howling Bells - live @ the Coldplay Concert in Düsseldorf a week ago :)

Never heard something like that before - really great melodic indie music and good singer, sadly I missed the first part of their show because I was standing in the waiting line for drinks :) but I heard the great sound through the doors and thought wow they're not bad all. They remembered me a bit at the beginnings of Coldplay but there are still so many styles they mix...very interesting to listen to.

whats with the funny typing? i was just about to comment on the impossibility of them touring australia until i read this on wikipedia.

On September 3, posters appeared around the streets of Melbourne, Australia featuring the line "FOLLOW WHAT'S HEARD"[13], a picture of a Vulture, and the URL http://www.frontiertouring.com/followwhatsheard. The URL leads to a page showing the same Vulture and a countdown timer, leading many to speculate an Australian tour announcement is imminent.

[Crests of Daylight]

I've been thinking of making them a thread but I dunno. :thinking:
Because I'm not really supposed to make threads anymore since I somehow lost that privelege by trolling. :blank:

[violetsparks]

I think as long as it's a legitimate thread [which this one would seem to be], there shouldn't be a problem. :shrug:

Anyway, on topic. My most recent acquisition? Elbow. :wacky:

[fietssleutel]

Elbow is osum! :cheesy:


I've recently come to appreciate John Mayer. After ignoring him for years and years and years. :wacky:

[Crests of Daylight]

Maybe. Or maybe I could force Marie to make it. :lol:

I tried for so long to get into Elbow and it never happened. :disappointed:

[fietssleutel]

Seeing them live helps. Lots.

[violetsparks]

Elbow is osum! :cheesy:


So I've heard. It was funny. I only knew the song "Grounds for Divorce." I had randomly gotten it stuck in my head, and then that's when I decided to look more into them, and I was pleased. I have a feeling they're going to become a favorite. When I started listening to "The Seldom Seen Kid," I was blown away by "Starlings." I thought, "MAN, this band is really legit. :wacky:"

So yeah, I'm rather happy. I have a feeling that if The Final Track ever sees this, he'll be very proud of me. :P

snow patrol, taken me so long!!! I listened to their first 2 albums years ago and didn't like them, then when they released their most recent, I loved it and went back to listen to the others and liked them too, I do that alot, I get into bands years after they started!!! I saw the Stereophonics in concert recently for the first time, amazing! They were another band I only really properly listened to in the last few years and now really like them! Like I liked a couple of songs but couldn't give a fig about them, coldplay was a fine example, loved 'In my Place' and 'clocks' but didn't care much for them until I saw their glastonbury set a few years back and fell in love!!!

The Break & Repair Method

[kingofsorrow]

Acrassicauda: is an Iraqi thrash metal band formed in 2001. They are often credited as being the first heavy metal group to emerge from Iraq. They formed and played concerts under the Saddam regime. They became well known outside of the local Iraqi metal scene after Vice magazine did a profile of them. They received even greater coverage when they were profiled in a feature length documentary about the band and their troubles in Iraq called, Heavy Metal in Baghdad. Their first album was released on March 9, 2010.

Due to their increased fame after the American regime change they started to receive death threats from Islamic elements who thought they were worshiping Satan. Due to this and the increasing violence in Baghdad they fled first to Syria and then Turkey before being granted refugee status in America.
