Damn, you've really been following along with these bands. I wasn't aware of Squid before you mentioned it so thanks for the indirect rec! :)

Also, did you message me earlier about Raise The Red Lantern and asked for similar Chinese music recs? If yes, the score for 'To Live' is one you may be interested in. They're not too similar if at all, but among my favourites, I'd recommend Wu Zhaoji if you're looking for a minimal, traditional aesthetic, Yan Jun if you're looking for something experimental (EAI kind of stuff) and really out there, any of China's Seven Great Singing Stars if you're looking to dip your toes in some vocal pop. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Great_Singing_Stars

Thanks!

What do you think is the most underrated album of all time? This is for a list.

I listened to their EP when it first came out but I have no memory of what it sounded like lol. so i'll take another listen soon. thanks!

Oh man, I was wondering what this band was up to since last year. I liked Sunglasses but wasn't as into Athen's France. Props for finding this, enjoyed it quite a bit and I'm looking forward to that debut. Hopefully I don't forget, got a ton of records in my queue currently and don't wanna miss out on that excitement when the time comes haha.

you have some of the best lists i've ever seen (quality-wise). like each one is really great.

The Shame grew on me third listen so have put up an initial rating, one's to watch!

Thanks for the rec, need to give it a couple more goes before settling on a rating - the opener is amazing, that's for sure

I seriously need to get into Tim Buckley lol. Both Sib and my gf have told me to before. I'll stop procrastinating and start right now with his self-titled, my guy looks real nice on that cover art. :)

‘Hejira’ is one of the better Joni albums yeah, quite understated - after the week of listening I still think ‘Blue’ and ‘Hissing’ are her best. Some of the early folk ones started boring me a bit, have to admit.
