Two examples that come to me immediately are Enya and Smashing Pumpkins. If music starts feeling stale, I can put on Enya and music feels new again. It’s such a pleasant departure from the standard pop/rock/RnB etc sounds that dominate (even if I like those artists).
Anybody have their own equivalents?
And it’s not really representative of the rest of their work, but I have never found anything that sounds quite like Sigur Ros’ album Kveikur. It’s this dreary, echoy, droney sound that is such a vibe.
Explosions in the sky is amazing
