For me, the thing that seems to be missing from modern music is passion. Pop music isn't about art its about sales, it does not want to say anything it just wants to party. Where are the songs that say something and touch you? Where are the folks that can even sing without digital processing?
I think modern tools also have an effect on how we produce music - there is lots of software and anyone can use it but everyone plays in the same playground to do it. Maybe we rely on too much automation, too many reach for the same plugins.
- hedora 4y agoYou might like The Mountain Goats, or even the podcast "I Only Listen to the Mountain Goats" where they talk about the story behind the lyrics, and how they used to record the vocals on a half-busted 80's boombox mic. I think they're reasonably popular. One of the local newspapers recenlty ran a cover story about their new album. Anyway, they tick all your boxes. For something amazing that ticks none of your boxes, you could check out Igorrr. Lindsey Stirling, Diablo Swing Orchestra and Sumo Cyco are in between those extremes. Those bands are all very different from each other, and mostly from automatic recommendations.
