Fun Stuff > BAND
Dark Americana / Southern Gothic recommendations
rynne:
Thanks for the replies! Comments on what's been suggested so far:
16 Horsepower, Woven Hand: yes, yes, yes. This is exactly the kind of music I was looking for. I remember seeing a 16 Horsepower video a long time ago and thinking it was cool, but they got lost in the shuffle and I forgot about them. Woven Hand is the new project of their singer? I will definitely be checking both of those bands out.
Elliot Brood: Some of the songs are a bit more upbeat than I was aiming for, but I like it. From what I can find on YouTube, "Second Son" and "President 35" are great.
Red House Painters: Mmm... nice but too much mellow indie influence. I kinda want a band that sounds like a Cormac McCarthy novel reads.
Rex: I can't find anything? Googling "Rex" or searching on YouTube brings up too many bands that are obviously not the one you're talking about.
TheFuriousWombat:
I also suggest Vic Chestnut (a truly amazing singer/songwriter and a wonderful performer to boot). Listen to the album "North Star Deserter."

Hmm, even his early stuff like Down Colorful Hill? Initially, I was just making a guess.
rynne:
Sorry, from what I could ferret out, it doesn't strike me as what I was looking for. It wasn't a bad suggestion, they just don't fit in to what I'm craving right now, you know?
Admittedly, I'm having a bit of difficultly describing the sound in words: it's almost an I'll-know-it-when-I-hear-it situation. I figured saying "This appeals to me, that doesn't" was as good a way as any of conveying the qualities I was interested in.
