All I Loved, I Loved Alone by Tacoma Washington Weekday Club
Came out this year, real good stuff.

Jazzy Alt-rock.

This was probably the best album out of everything I heard. It's was little weird and the lyricism I think was purposefully abrasive. However, the music matched that all around and overall it was well written.

I only quote a small passage, but I'm basically familiar with every recommendation you posted.

I noticed Spilt Milk in your top 10 (masterpiece) so i'll recommend a few things that are in a similar musical orbit to
that. Also i'll put in the obligatory plug for my own album (down the bottom there) because feedback on that is always nice 😄

I can't find either of the albums you posted, would be generally helpful if something isn't on spotify that you either message me a link to download or post a stream of it.

Go Hawaii by Casino Versus Japan

This one was actually pretty great. I really loved the sound just like the mum album. These sorts of albums are pretty good to listen to while gaming or other activities as they give a good background sound. Couldn't find the trumans water album and am listen to french kicks right, but it's fairly unremarkable thus far.

I listened to All We Grow by S Carey. I don't know if that's a single artist or a band, but the album was pretty alright. The overall sound was nice and all, but I don't feel it was very consistently good. Got really boring at parts, but also really beautiful at parts. Decent experience.

Cool 😄 Glad you at least kinda dug it.

Despite everything being recommend, I'll throw in some specific choices from those charts:

Finally We Are No One by múm

THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD

“Shhhh….“ She whispered. “You need to keep it secret”, she said wide-eyed and with total sincerity. “The unikitty came last night. I saw him!” No album captures the world through my children’s eyes quite like this. A world where bunnies hop around the world hiding dayglo painted eggs under furniture and place neatly laid-out chocolate kisses & gumdrops in little baskets. This is an album only could have sprung from Iceland. If Bjork and Sugur Ros had a magical elven daughter, this is the album she would make. Where the sunlight sparkles off of melting glaciers as they gather into bubbling brooks. The whole album bubbles and percolates with the magical sounds of the forest. Where wood sprites still live and can and do protect us from all sorts of dangers. And if you listen closely, you can hear the laughter and giggles of children.

But most importantly it captures how children see the world. It captures their faith. Their trust. There’s an undying hope that springs from these songs. It fills the air. That everything is going to work out and that the world is a magical place. A world where unikitties and rainbow unicorns exist and have the power to make Daddy all better. I believe in this world. I believe in this magic. Because I have seen it. Seen it in the eyes of my child.

Grade: A+. This is a magical album that really is the love child of Bjork and Sugur Ros. Check it out if you don’t believe me. Because it’s the truth. It’s an album that could only have sprung from the heart of a child. It’s ethereal and beautiful. It doesn’t quite fit into any neat categories straddling the lines of post-rock and indie electronica. It doesn’t need to. And it vaults all the way to number one.

Actually, this was the best album so far. I've heard of mum before and may have actually listened to them, but I don't remember. However, this album is so charming and has this cuteness to it that just amazes me. I think your description of it is fairly apt and honestly I could imagine this becoming a staple for my listening parties with my friend in discord (we play games and listen to albums basically). Great recommendation.

Godspeed The Punchline by Trumans Water

I have been listening to this band a lot recently they're like an even more deranged version of Pavement. Try the song "Enflamed" off this album.

This is what I imagine Wheatus to be if they were any good. It's unfair to make the comparison, but I liked the small ep. I wouldn't necessarily call it noise folk as it doesn't seem to have any noise elements, but it's the type of music that a good friend of mine would appreciate.

From Gardens Where We Feel Secure by Virginia Astley

A BUCOLIC DAY IN THE ENGLISH COUNTRYSIDE

Well this came out of nowhere! It's simple, but alluring piano passages combined with found sounds that is magically and movingly transportive. It’s like stepping into a wardrobe and emerging in a land of unicorns and butterflies ( can you tell I have two girls! lol). The countryside of Totoro essentially springs to life. And you find yourself sunning on a field of buttercups or whatever as warm, peaceful church bells echo in the distance. An overwhelming sense of calmness enters your bones and you believe that magic is not just possible but real. But it’s not overly pretty or overdone. It’s all very tasteful and not a bit new agey.

It has two distinct sides with side a being incredibly playful and joyful and side b being more on the somber side of things as the day comes to an end.

Grade: A+. I’ve only been at this a short time , but it is definitely the most unique and alluring ambient album I’ve ever heard. And it immediately shoots to the top of my little chart.

This one was pretty good. Usually albums like this run out of steam within the first few tracks, but the sound was nice enough to get it chugging along. The first 3 tracks were beautiful, but the rest were not quite as good. Overall a good album.

Also, it's the first time in a long time I downloaded an album!.

Awesome! Glad u liked it, my friend. It's a grower too. I think the whole album is solid.

I've currently run into a decent bout of free time and need some stuff do outside of my current responsibilities and activities. Basically, I'd like to hear some new albums because I haven't been exploring stuff for a long while outside of the odd recommendation on spotify. I'll listen to anything recommended basically and come back with a response to what I think about it when I listen to it.

I'm open to listening to anything.
