Known (and not so known) gems

[Be Free 6,635]

Hi! I don't know if a similar thread like this exists but I thought it would be cute to have a space to share songs that we like or have recently discovered that may be or may not be known by a lot of people! :)

[Rust Dress 40,200]

A mix of songs + albums that I love

 

What’s Your Pleasure? - Jessie Ware 

 

The title track is amazing and so is the entire album. My top 3 are Mirage, WYP?, and Spotlight

 

Poison Arrow - Yeule

 

I spent my summer listening to this song amd the album associated with it and let me tell you, this album is perfect. My top 3 from the album are Veil of Darkness, Blue Butterfly, and Poison Arrow.

 

Water Water - Empress Of

 

All in all, a very boppy song. I haven’t got into her discography much but currently this is my favorite song by her. Had this on repeat for years.

 

Immaterial + her entire discography - SOPHIE

 

I fell in love with her earlier this year and been obsessed with her ever since. Her debut album is pretty nice but does not compare to her unreleased. She’s evolved greatly since the release of her album and I’m really excited for what’s to come in the future. My top 3 from Oil of Every Pearl’s Un Insides are Ponyboy, Immaterial, Whole New World. She has loads of unreleased content but my favorite currently Take Me To Dubai, Transnation, Elegance, Do You Wanna Be Alive?

 

Chance - Angel Olsen

 

This song is just so sad so be prepared. Along with All Mirrors, the title track from her 3rd album. 
 

Lamp Lady - Sevdaliza

 

This song + the entire album (Shabrang) IS SO AMAZING. Some people might not like her vibrato but I live for it. 
 

Smile - Katy Perry

 

Not known by many individuals, this album deserves so much more. My top 3 are Champagne Problems, Harleys in Hawaii, Teary Eyes.

i bring it up a lot but mazzy star is a really incredible duo and they've made some amazing stuff, you may know them from their popular 90's hit "fade into you". here's a list of songs i really like by them:

 

- she hangs brightly

- ghost highway

- free

- before i sleep

- mary of silence

- blue light

- she's my baby

- into dust

- so tonight that i might see

 

for those who are into nirvana, or even just grunge / rock / 90's alternative, i've taken the time to discover more of their demo tracks, highly reccomend:

 

- old age, + it's demo 

- clean up before she comes

- spank thru

- and i love her (the beatles cover)

- poison's gone

- pennyroyal tea (demo)

- burn the rain

- letters to frances

@LemonadeHeavens You like Mazzy Star?! This band reached out to me time ago and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it (or I hope you do!). They really remind me of Mazzy Star! 

 

[xxmissdaytonaxx 30,078]

Crying All The Time by Alexandria Savior

this song reminds me of something lana would write. 

 

 

[West Coast 45,795]

In no specific order, some of these are classics, others song that are just kinda underrated/less known. 

 

Astro Zombies - The Misfits

I don't listen to a whole lot of punk music, but this one is pretty good.

 

Lady - Supertramp

A lesser known Supertramp song that I really love.

 

I Heard Ramona Sing - Frank Black

Probably my favourite song on that soundtrack.

 

Chateau Lobby #4 (in C for Two Virgins) - Father John Misty

If there's a Father John Misty you should check out, this is the one I think.

 

Come Find Me - Emile Haynie (feat. Lykke Li, Romy)

Otherworldly collab between King Emile, Lykke Li and Romy (from The xx) from the same album that featured 'Wait For Life.

 

Debout - Ariane Moffatt

That, ladies and gentlemen, is my turn up song!

 

Dream Weaver - Gary Wright

My dad introduced us to this song. 

 

You Make Loving Fun - Fleetwood Mac

Along with 'Rhiannon', 'Gypsy' and 'Little Lies' this is my favourite Fleetwood Mac song.

 

Black Magic Woman - Fleetwood Mac

Fun fact, this is the original version of the Santana classic.

 

I Wish I Was The Moon - Neko Case

A song that never fails to make me cry. 

 

Paint Me Silver - Pond

Pretty good song from a band that's heavily involved with Australian legend Tame Impala. 

 

Faraway Look - Yola

Great song from an immensely talented artist. It's also King Dan Auerbach's latest production gig!

 

Bad Magic - Weyes Blood

My favourite Weyes Blood song. 

 

[VeryBeige 111]

i think lana fans should listen this

just saying

 

[Dark Angel 202,341]

60's garage songs i like. 

 

 

@Be Free i checked out the band you recommended that sounded like mazzy star and i loved it! i really loved willow tree and feline, do you know if they have more stuff that's out there?

[Crimson and Clover 22,505]

do yourself a favor and listen to more sunshine/psychedelic pop 

 

 

[May 13,311]

Spiritualized - broken heart

lowkey one of the most depressing songs I listen to and I love it

 

[Barry 5,934]

These are just songs I like I feel like most people on here wont know

 

[TRENCH 15,450]

I recently discovered this album too! LOVE Poison Arrow and also "An angel held me like a child"

[Ultra Violet 18,983]

It wasn't a new discovery but a recent release that I love so much is Honey Gentry's H.G. album. Especially 

-Like Neptune 

And 

- if you sit very still, you can hear the sun move

 

 

I can feel these songs physically holding me when I listen to them. If you're looking for something to help you peacefully transcend to outer space, these songs are it.

[Make me your Dream Life 87,839]

some vodkaa vibes: 

this and the original too:
