Fun Stuff > BAND
Based on my interests...suggestions
Joseph:
Considering Khar totally didn't recommend any metal, there's no reason for you to say that people must have similar intrests. Really, Khar gave you quite the amazing selection of artists, well worth checking out. Well, the ones I've heard anyway, I'm still having difficulty tracking down any Current 93 (even online, I need to get BitTorrent working...), and I haven't heard anything by the next two he recommended either.
Neutral Milk Hotel, Joy Division, and Vatashi Bunyan are great though, and very much not metal.
KharBevNor:
Tan-Hauser Gate are a semi-local act which sound rather like a sort of mellower British Sea Power and Backworld are a folk/neo-folk duo which sound very much like latter day C93 (right down to the christian mysticism) but with a more indie vibe in the vocals and production and less electronics.
Trust me, my dear sir, I know the kind of thing you're after. I went so far as to check last.fm recommendations for the bands you listed that I didn't know, to see if they matched up with what I was thinking of suggesting. Lo and behold, I found my recs, or similiar groups I consider inferior, somewhere on the similiar artists lists for pretty much all of them.
Current 93, I would contend, should just be something people like who are into music in general, at least the later stuff. I suppose they haven't gained much hipster currency because of their generally either insanely cryptic or awesomely gothtastic lyrics and slightly melodramatic intensity. I've got to say though, if you can listen to the entire 'Cats Drunk on Copper' album, which they recorded live in a church, and not feel moved at any single point, then you are probably an evil person.

I second Will Oldham.
And I'm gonna add The National, as I always do.

Ok, I think my problem is with vocals...its so important to me... and everyone has different taste in vocals wheteher they like it or not. I mean, the main reason I hate Neutral Milk Hotel and Joy Division is the vocals.... you might disagree with me but I cant help the matter.... their vocals just seem awful and maybe it has to do with my own voice I dont know. So I guess i want suggestions that have vocals similar to those I mentioned in bold... if you cant find any we can bump this thread, its ok.
KharBevNor:
If you don't like those two, scratch Current 93 from my suggestions. Try the others though, I think they may be more in your line. You seem rather picky though.
