SONG RECS!!

For all of y'all TDH fans looking for more music. While ofc there's no other artist quite like them, I do have a compilation of others that remind me of them in some way.

Idk anything about music, so this is just a dump for my personal thoughts and not actual reviews. I tried to focus mainly on smaller artists here ^^

Adjy

I love Adjy so much. Please go listen to The Idyll Opus, especially if you're reading this in the summertime. It's such a rich, ambitious album with so many layers to unpack and it never fails to make me tear up a bit. It's so beautiful and melancholy and it perfectly encapsulates the feeling of summer.

Black Dime Cabaret

Another criminally underrated artist, Black Dime Cabaret is absolutely worth checking out. If you're into rock operas, this is your jam. My personal favorite of theirs is The Man Without Morality. I'm also really obsessed with Knock Knock right now. Such a fun and unique sound (and a cool story, too!)

The Republic of Wolves

Their music really messes me up. But in a good way. I don't know what else to say other than that you should definitely go listen to them because damn. I LOVE their work and if you like Shrine please go check out the rest!

Dispirited Spirits

Lush and a bit surreal? Not quite sure how to describe Dispirited Spirits but their music is definitely an experience. It sounds like outer space and it's very fluid and extremely cool. I'll leave it at that. Former Living Things might be my favorite from them.

Pete Davis

This one's very folk and a capella, but I do really love Hapax Legomena and I hope anyone who reads this post does too. A short album (just 12 1-minute long songs!) but it crams in a lot of emotion and cool sounds. I'm obsessed with Before The First Shelves Fell especially.

Southern Empire

I haven't listened to this one as much as the others, but I really love their style and I've been enjoying this album a lot lately. Would definitely recommend Another World to any Antimai fans out there.

The Morgana Phase

Science fiction albums my beloved. Awesome albums, awesome sound. Delightfully surreal and immersive. 10/10. No complaints. I love The Morgana Phase. They deserve so much more love.

Out lay the years, like dandelions.

If Adjy has a million fans, then I'm one of them. If Adjy has one fan then I'm THAT FAN !! If Adjy has no fans then I'm DEAD!!!!!!1!!!!!

so you know of grammatology, but have you heard solia tera, the prior band to adjy, and their few albums?

yep! i've catalogued and downloaded every bit of chris noyes music i can get my grubby little fingies on (solia tera, early adjy, solo work, send out scuds, &c) except for ONE SONG that i can't find a workable link to. if anyone has a recording of 'three' out there that they can bestow upon me. Blease. Blease

HELLO FELLOW IDYLL OPUS ENJOYER!!!

IDYLL OPUS FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER!!!!!!!

[dxppercxdxver]

hey Juno can you tell us what you learned from Christopher noyes (and the other person) for the research project. was searching him on tumblr and you were the first result

i'm so honored by the tumblr search function.......

anyway. as he is wont to do mr noyes kind of vanished from the face of the earth before i could schedule an interview in time for the paper's due date so i Pushed On without him and wrote a paper about how the idyll opus is a really fascinating work of postmodernist literature, especially in how it fractures and recontextualizes prior works about brotherly relationships (gilgamesh, prose edda, cain and abel, &c)

the fun bit was that i saw adjy in concert this summer and told the band i wrote a paper about them and they all asked to read it so i emailed them a pdf of the paper lol (you too can have this pdf for the low low price of. asking me lmao)

anyway it was good fun! he's a fascinating guy to talk to for sure
