Mezzanine is the gold standard for me, but always good to explore and expand.

My first thought was Explosions in the Sky, nice to see it already listed.

I listen to all these except never heard of Red Sparrows, guess I'll have to check them out

  • Hammock
  • Appalaches
  • Unsigned Char
  • PG.lost
  • Bound (more of shoegaze)
  • Caves of Steel
  • Youth Pictures of Florence Henderson (more rock-ish, but great)
  • Coastlands
  • Distant Dream (more guitar soloing)
  • El Ten Eleven (more electronic)
  • El Altar Del Holocausto
  • Goodbye Earth
  • I/O
  • Neil on Impression
  • Nice Wings, Icarus!
  • No One Wished To Settle Hereafter

I don't mix uppers and downers.

Its awesome, especially combining coffee with darkroom red light and chill tunes

One of the chillest, good vibe albums I have ever listen to blind was Masayoshi Takanaka's - All of me.

The youtube comment that was at the top of the video that I listened to years ago summed up the experience nicely, "No one searches for this album, it finds you when you need it.

Moondog's album "Sax Pax for a Sax"

Emancipator's album Soon It Will Be Cold Enough is great

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I love Emancipator, I've had his albums as my driving music in my car for at least a decade. Safe in the Steep Cliffs is my favorite.

On that vibe, Ondas by Kinack and Days to Come or Black Sands by Bonobo would be suggestions to OP

[–] _haha_oh_wow_ 3 points 3 months ago

That is an excellent answer.

the book about my idle plot on a vague anxiety by toe and standing still in a moving scene by Hyakkei were the first things to come to mind. Most Japanese math rock in general though

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Anything by the sounds providers is my jam. The album with surreal is great, although I do prefer “an evening with the sound providers”.

It’s kinda chill hop but a bit more jazzy.
