The "New Music Artists you currently do enjoy" thread

[Wee67]

Another "new to me" artist that I've been getting into over the last year. I admit, I initially dismissed Rival Sons as too Led Zeppelin/70's derivative, but after going back to listen to them again, they are a pretty good band carrying on the 70's rock style. I'm going to go see them next month.

Reina del Cid and friends doing a Stealers Wheel cover.

I fall in a YouTube hole listening to Reina del Cid whether it's her original songs or the many covers she does with either her eponymous folk/rock band or other people she knows. The guitarist she works with, Toni Lindgren, is very talented. These "kids" give this music curmudgeon a renewed faith in (some) young folks and their music.

Just scanning through this thread again to find some cool suggestions. Thanks for all the cool stuff.

Oddly, "So" was the first album that ever horrified me for being too commercial, that whole "I hate it when bands I like get big" syndrome we do when we're young.

My wife rightfully accuses me of this all the time. I'm much better now then when the Clash or Madness started getting regular play on MTV. Or when all my 80's garage bands stopped being my little secret and started being called Grunge on radio stations stealing the "alternative" label. Or when my garage/blues duos like White Stripes or Black Keys started appearing on late shows... OK, maybe I still have a bit of an issue with this.

The Iron Horse by the Sound Defects isn't totally recent but it is a hidden gem that I listen to monthly. It's a soundtrack to a movie that doesn't exist but should.

This reminded me of a similar thing a friend of mine played drums for a few years back. Pornosonic plays on a soundtrack for a movie that never existed, but, as the name suggests, its a porn movie. They even got Ron Jeremy to intro some of it.

Here Lies Man's debut remains one of my favourite albums of 2017.

They're advertised as "What if Black Sabbath played Afrobeat?" and that's a pretty hard description for me to try to beat.

Brazoo, thanks for some super cool suggestions from various genres. This one is my favorite. It reminds me a bit of the early 80's take from some of the psych/noise bands I used to go see play.

I'm probably the last person to "discover" Father John Misty but I've recently purchased his entire catalog.

You weren't the last. Thanks for posting this. Cool video.

And Dead South from Saskatchewan is just amazing. They strip the music down it's a solute bones and the lyrics are just crazy wordplay. Just awesome stuff.

It's what country music used to sound like to me.

Not sure if these guys would still be considered new.

"Is this Predator?"

How could you leave out Django Django and their incredible song Default.

I just discovered Curtis Harding - he was on The Late Show last night and I immediately bought the new album on Bandcamp.

Check it out:

That one actually isn't that bad.

Lately I've been listening to Open Mike Eagle a lot. Very smooth and relaxing hip-hop with grooves I can't get out of my head.

This video's a bit kooky with all gags, but great tune:

Childish Gambino:

An appreciation struggling to contain itself for Mr. Glover:

That guy is just too talented. Atlanta is ridiculously great too. Mind boggling.

[Mr.Marion]

This is an incredible track, I think Portugal the Man have been around for some time.
