Listening
Music I've been listening to.
- Edgy, thumping bass.
- Grungey, shoegaze-y, indie rock.
- Smooth, forward-moving beats from akiaura and LONOWN. The album reminds me a lot of peak Crystal Castles.
- Digital, synth-y pop.
- Solid drum and bass album.
- Nice, classic indie rock, also featuring Hayley Williams on the song Past Lives.
- From their Bandcamp: "Packaging's debut album 'Packaging' fuses psychedelic textures, krautrock chug, electronic grandeur, tuneful accessibility, and just a little bit of bristling self-awareness."
- Surprisingly catchy, found myself hooked by the bass and the beat. From the Bandcamp description: "minimal krautrock repetition, pounding industrial techno".
- Smooth, celestial drum and bass.
- Hard rocking, shoegaze-y music. Feel the sound.
- Nice and edgy rock, touches of industrial.
- Digital, chiptune metal. A unique style that I didn't know I wanted.
- Contact is a very nice drum and bass album from Sub Focus, all of the tracks are polished.
- Drum and bass! I especially enjoy the more acid stylings in songs like Skyline.
- Upbeat, melodic drum and bass, for when you want to feel good rather than edgy. Shoutout to track 2: Collide!
- More drum and bass from Metrik.
- Psychedelic rock; shoegaze or triphop at times. Very nice.
- A lovely handpan set, performed on the rim of an active volcano.
- Delicate, crystalline Japanese vocals over soft, contemplative piano and guitar.
- Lovely, nostalgic album made popular by Portlandia. The sound is so laid-back and richly detailed that you want to lay there and let it envelop you.
- An interesting mix of drum and bass / jungle, ethereal vocals, and flute. Evokes a hyped-up fantasy soundtrack.
- Chill electronic music.
- Cybernetic, dark synthwave. I love the edginess.
- Instant classic. Popular because it was featured in the video game Dispatch.
- Solid, in your face, rock and roll.
- Cyber djent, synthwave metal, taking you on an operatic odyssey.
- Copied from their bandcamp description: Pop Punk ┌П┐(►˛◄’!)
- Grooving, chill. Fun to hear vocals from The xx members — I haven't listened to the band since their first album, but their voices are still so recognizable.
- Drum and bass!
- Chill, nostalgia-laden, liquid drum and bass.
- Hard rock with a ton of great riffs.
- A lovely album, dreamy lyrics over a shoegaze soundscape.
- Rhythmic electronic noise in the best way.
- Edgy, ethereal Imogen Heap, paired with a thoughtful statement on AI and art.
- A quiet, captivating Sufi performance on the cura, and one of my favorite internet treasures.
- Morning coffee grooves // Fall vibes at Isar, Munich // Deep House, House, Groovy, Breakfast.
- Rough indie Korean shoegaze.
- Hard rock, as one Bandcamp user puts it: "keeping in line with the patented cloakroom sound of heavy but reassuring/ relaxing all at once".
- Bandcamp's album of the day for 10/10 2025. The album's all over the place, some metal, some mathcore. What works for me are the multiple guitars and edgy vocal stylings.
- Middle Eastern psych-funk meets Japanese folk-pop.
- A more EDM-oriented song from Kelly Lee Owens.
- Indie rock, I really like the lead singer's voice.
- Smooth electronic beats.
- Beautiful album. Gives me feelings of nostalgia, reminding me of the trip I took to Japan. Tsukoyomi's my favorite track.
- Love the high, melodic vocals layered onto the infectious drum and bass rhythm.
- Listening to Delta Heavy more, in preparation for Boo 2025.
- Purity Ring's version of electronic pop, though this album isn't as consistently on-theme as previous albums.
- Chill, atmospheric D&B/Jungle.
- More dark, angry electronica.
- Dark, industrial, atmospheric at times.
- Electronic dance music, house adjacent.
- Severance is a great television series, with iconic music composed by Theodore Shapiro. This remix album made by ODESZA is an excellent, chill electronica soundtrack "to refine to".
- Short and sweet album. Chill, lo-fi adjacent.
- Office Space quotes mixed into lo-fi beats. Sounds like a gimmick, but this album really delivers a fun, chill listen.
- Upbeat, dreamy, reverb.
- Intricate Irish wire-strung harp tapestries, by turns haunting and anticipatory. Bandcamp's Album of the Day.
- Light, airy pop. Sadgirl synth.
- I believe in Ladytron, doing their thing.
- Chill, fun, entrancing psych-pop.
- As a lover of Tron: Legacy and the exquisite Daft Punk soundtrack, I've been really looking forward to NIN's take on a Tron soundtrack. I'm a bit less enthused for the Jared Leto 😕 headed Tron: Ares though.
- Tame Impala, back at the psychedelics again. Joe Keery, what are you doing here?
- Energetic punk!
- Downtempo, chill electronica.
- I found GIFT from a KEXP studio performance. Illuminator is exuberant, soaring, shoegaze-adjacent.
- Melodic rock, combining some influences in ways I can feel but can't figure out who.
- Rock — a little grimey, meandering, and whimsical.
- Dark and angry electronica.
- Harder rock with an edge, tinged with shoegaze. Wistful at times.
- Cool and hip electronica, reminds me of Daft Punk in a number of places.
- A love letter to computers and video game sounds in the best way.
- Listening to this album before going to the 20th anniversary concert.
- Smoky synth, sultry vocals and lyrics.
- Dark electronic-pop about growing up online, and the things the internet showed us too young.
- Moody progressive rock and metal. Very much my kind of music. Similar in my ears to Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky.
- I'm going to quote the band here: "Metal, punk, electronica and art rock".
- Ahhhh, feel the atmosphere.
- Metallic progressive rock.
- Psychedelic soul and Middle Eastern rock.
- Moody, atmospheric post-rock.
- I found this band on Tiktok, they remind me of Bring Me The Horizon. Love the metal-pop-punk sound.
- This album beautifully mixes European and Indian "classical" style music. I love both cellos and sitars, and hearing them together is beautiful.
