I'm going to thumb through your playlist tonight and I'll let you know if there's anything there that I fall in love with.

In the meantime you might like (want to check out/add) the following:

Reply to In A Music Slump... by TharbyPictures

Do what I did a few years ago when I was feeling stagnant in my own listening: get into jazz. I can throw you some starter recommendations if you're interested.

Reply to Impactful Song Lyrics by Timely-Detective753

Folks Like Me by The Geraldine Fibbers (from the LP 'Butch'). It's sung from a female alien's point of view, an alien scientist who was sent to earth to study us but fell in love with an earthling. Now her people want her to return and it would endanger her lover if she were to stay:

"And if I knew I'd only be risking my own life,

I'd stay until they came and struck me dead -

but I couldn't bear to see them hurt a hair on your sweet head"

All sung in Carla Bozulich's beautiful, rich tomboy voice to a swinging alt-country tune. I'm choking up right now as I type this (I'm a sap), so I'm confident it belongs in this thread :)

Reply to What languages are the songs in your main music catolog (Apple Music, Amazon etc.) by No-Significance9313

Listening to all of your responses, I feel like a weirdo since my playlist (Amazon) is in 18 languages! 50% or less are in my native tongue of English. Here's the list:

English, Spanish, French(France & Cape Verde), Portuguese, Korean, Japanese, Turkish, Finnish, German, Russian, Slovanian, Nigerian (Igbo or yuruba), Kenyan tribe Samburu, Wolof (Senegal), Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, South African language (Africaans? Zulu?)

There are some really unexpected things like reggae in Spanish, rap in Arabic, Balkan in Slovanian, metal in Japanese, Russian Ska, Turkish psychodelic funk, and Brazilian trap

Reply to Does ANYONE make music even remotely close to the stuff M83 makes? by GonnaHoom

>Towering crescendos, soaring synths, just galaxy sized everything peppered with quiet reflective moments occasionally backed by a narration that gives some backstory.

>Just larger than life tracks dripping with gorgeous excess that slowly build into these overwhelming wall-of-sound crashing crescendos.

Sounds like Post Rock and Post Metal. Check out bands in those two subgenres.

Bands like Isis, Neurosis, Pelican, Cult of Luna, Explosions in the Sky, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Mogwai, Slint. Those could be a good starting point for such expansive subgenres, that will provide plenty of what you're lookin for. Keep an open mind, have fun exploring.

Not sure if there's an actual community (outside of maybe the playlists ones). I've been working on spotify playlists of (mostly) lesser known alternative and indie groups (wide spectrum of rock subgenres) for people looking for new artists or groups to check out.

If you've got some recommendations, I'd love to hear them.
