Taylor  | 0 comments I need help finding new music. If anyone has a passion for indie folk (like…real indie folk…not Mumford and Sons), lemme know. My top 100 playlist, which has indie folk, indie rock, and singer-songwriter stuff, is getting old. XD


Saru (Queen of Bookland) (sarulovesbooks) | 3290 comments I would help but I have no idea how to categorize music. If someone asked me what genre I listened to, I would have no answer because I have no idea what genre the artists if listen to fall under. Is Daughter indie folk? Idk don't laugh at me if they're not.

I mean... do The Mowgli's count? That's probably not indie enough, or folk enough. XD

I don't really know what 'counts' but I quite like folk sorts of things so you might like:

Aidan Knight
Laura Marling
Seabear
Ólöf Arnalds
Pascal Pinon
Paper Aeroplanes
Iron & Wine
does Said the Whale count??? you might like them anyway
ditto Arab Strap
Beirut
Lisa Hannigan
Sóley
It's a Musical
Johnny Flynn

Regina Spektor writes in a lot of different style but has lots of like...anti-folk influences??? especially in her early things, her first three albums and something to play them in are the only things I'd want with me if I were stranded on a desert island.

Taylor  | 0 comments @Saru

In my opinion, Daughter is just…Daughter. They're their own genre.

@Colby

Never heard of 'em. I'll check them out.

@Tesni

THANK YOU! Said the Whale definitely counts…they're a favorite of mine. Regina Spektor is also up there…I actually think she has the most songs on my favorites list.

I've heard of a lot of these, but haven't really followed their music. I'll get started. Thanks again!

@Allison

Enchanted is my favorite song by T-Swizzle. Sparks Fly is a close second. :)

Alrighty, just some suggestions:

The Head and the Heart
Boy & Bear
Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros
Jake Bugg
Eliza and the Bear
The Paper Kites
The Decemberists
Before the Brave
Fleet Foxes
The Oh Hellos
Mighty Oaks
First Aid Kit
Wooly & the Mammoth
Lauren Mann and the Fairly Odd Folk

Hopefully that's enough for now? I can keep going. :P


message 2360: by Brian (new)

Brian They've already been mentioned, but I'd definitely recommend Fleet Foxes, The Head and the Heart, and Iron & Wine. Some of my other favorites are Damien Rice, Blind Pilot, Sea Wolf, and absolutely definitely Bon Iver and Volcano Choir. Andrew Bird isn't really folk but he's still great too.

Also if you like good soul music, I've been listening to Michael Kiwanuka a lot. He's got a pretty retro sound almost like Otis Redding.

Megan Mweemba (meganlovesbooks) | 3196 comments Marina & the Diamonds - I Am Not A Robot

I swear I'm actually listening to her songs that I haven't heard, this one just happened to start when I started my comment. :P


Saru (Queen of Bookland) (sarulovesbooks) | 3290 comments @Taylor- oh, okay. XD

Megan- MARINAAAAAA


message 2363: by [deleted user] (new)

Pentatonix - Rather Be

SLAY, KIRSTIE.

I just cannot stress how long I've wanted a solo from her. The only full studio songs she gets other than this one are O Holy Night and Say Something.

Pentatonix - Papaoutai

Not that I'm a fluent French speaker, but Scott's accent sounds pretty good here. I've only noticed one or two slips. And I love that Kevin's doing some of the electronic bits on his cello.

(Their new album is coming out this week so basically I'm not listening to anyone else sorry)

Haha cool. XD Yeah I've been working on this massive instrumental music playlist to listen to when I write and/or do homework, and I came across his stuff while looking for stuff to add. It's really nice! I'll be sure to listen to more. :)

His whole album "Memoryhouse" is phenomenal. I particularly recommend "Last Days." I couldn't listen to that song for a few weeks because it's exactly the style I'm going for in a lot of my music. :)
