@render Ooh, I missed your post at the top of this page. I'm a big fan of Rival Consoles too but I only have his last two albums (Persona and Articulation) and keep meaning to go more into his back catalogue. He did drop a new track this week though;
Daniel Avery is good too but some of his tracks go a bit too off piste for me.
@Thrillho There's plenty of good stuff in his back catalog. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them but other than those ones you mentioned I particularly like the Night Melody and Odyssey albums. That new track is awesome too, thanks for posting.
Have you heard of Brambles before? They make very chilled out music but the Charcoal album is just full of great tracks...
The newest track sounds great too, just the way the piano sounds quite haunting...
@Kidfried I can't get enough of Sault- some of the best music coming out of the UK at the moment. What do you make of their new album and that it will only be available for 99 days?
@Kidfried I know what you mean, it didn't hit me as immediately as their previous albums (especially their first, which gave me instant ESG vibes), but it is growing on me with each listen.
Saw another post of yours where you mention getting Aldous Harding tickets. You're in for a treat! She's the last person I saw on stage before lockdown hit- amazing performer.
@Jimmer-jammer They're great, thanks for sharing, can you recommend any specific albums to start with for them? Here's something I've been listening to recently. Let's get @Voltan in on the action as well, What do you think, Volt?
@Jimmer-jammer Listening to Transference now - I guess the main guy does a lot of acoustic guitar-related stuff? Kinda reminds me of Dwight Yoakam, completely different-sounding guy, but also similar in a sense, simply because they are both acoustic guitar singer-songwriters who play with a band on their albums, although all Dwight's albums are credited to Dwight rather than to a band. Saying all that, though ,I am only assuming that the Spoon singer is also the acoustic guitarist in the band? Just a wild guess, off the top of my head, but I am assuming that I am right, right?

@nessisonett in as much as rappers are far more "regular people" than their celebrity sports star counterparts*, it's interesting (and saddening) to see what I theorize to be the result of what is known as "weathering" playing out behind these deaths. Which is to say these rappers are likely the most visible representations one will get of this phenomenon where being black is just downright harder on your health. I mean here you have pampered famous people dying before hitting retirement age. It kinda breaks my heart.
Anyway don't mean to start an argument or get too controversial; just seems like this must be at least partially a factor.
*Genetically speaking, which might explain why you don't see black athletes dying at similarly young ages... but come to think of it there's quite a lot of that too.

@zupertramp There’s probably a lot of truth in that to be honest, a lot of these guys are dying in their 50s from ‘natural causes’. It’s just plain sad to see.
@Jimmer-jammer I imagine you would already have heard of Teenage Fanclub due to their association with Kurt Cobain, but just in case you haven't here is one of their best albums, according to the internet, and I imagine you won't be looking back!
And here's Bon Iver, in case you're unfamiliar, as well.
