I've been craving a type of music that doesn't seem to exist. Hints of it are everywhere but no one band, even song, seems to get it right. I have no idea what genre it would be. Basically, its *word vomit* decadent erotic enveloping burning hot intoxicating delirious mirage wet throbbing fever dream. Its like these bondage-on-album-cover bands seem to get the bodily functions aspect of it right but not the...anything else. I don't know if those bondage-on-album-cover bands get even the bodily functions right. My Bloody Valentine gets the closest but their music isn't engorged enough. Black metal is too cold and masculine but if it was hot and feminine it'd probably be exactly what I was looking for. There are plenty of sleazy sexy songs (I'll take recs for these too, those are fun, though no The Weeknd please...although that song he did with Ariana Grande was without a doubt the best thing I've ever heard on the radio) and plenty of swirling enveloping songs but nary do the two meet. Like, I want the musical form of Anaïs Nin's opium dens, Angela Carter's Erl-King, Joris Karl-Huysman's Black Mass, Kathy Acker's whore-songs...
Edit: Oh I forgot to mention the most obvious one, Pornography by The Cure, its sooo close, just not erotic enough at all.
edit edit: actually how about you musicians on here mash up some black metal enveloping guitar with the sound of a female orgasm. though the real challenge is how to get the juices into the noise.

I'm sure you've listened to Cocteau, so I must be misinterpreting this whole thing. _________________ follow me on the bandcamp.
Ok definitely thinking on this.
Is this song anything like what you want?]
That is neat, if a bit over the top. Very over-the-top, really. XD Its silly.

Odd song. Its like it has most of the things I want in theory but in practice I'm not super into it. Its a bit too structured and aware of itself, I think. And it is too porn-star-esque. Keep in mind it doesn't have to be so obviously sexual. Still like it though.

oh gosh didn't expect Throbbing Gristle. 🤣 Its, like the previous one, too structured and self-aware. But I like this one too.

As in Cocteau Twins? I don't see it. Maybe a tiny bit on Heaven or Las Vegas.
I'll make it easier, here are some songs which have pieces of the puzzle:
Milkweed/It Hangs Heavy by Pharmakon
Rentboy by HTRK
Black Acres by Elysian Fields
Soft as Snow (But Warm Inside) by MBV
Two Weeks by FKA Twigs
everything on Il Était une Forêt... by Gris
The End by Nico
Haunted by Beyonce
Halfsleeper by Chelsea Wolfe
Bitter Reflektion by Lifelover
Strange Day by The Cure
anything by Diamanda Galas
Strawberry Julius by Bikini Kill
The Brothel by Susanne Sundfor
Love Me Harder by Ariana Grande, The Weeknd

Yeah. The closer on that album (Midsummer Foxes Frou or something) came to mind.
In any event, I just made a Spotify playlist with the tracks you mentioned (at least the ones I could find). Will see if I can figure out what the hell you want. _________________ follow me on the bandcamp.

thanks :D
this comes to mind but it probably only has one or two "pieces of the puzzle" at best
Perhaps this? I think you already know Lush though.
yeah I love Lush. 😜
