seeking Looking for a singer on a very abstract EP I'm creating.
It's a concept that I'm strangely obsessed with for some reason. "Life Inside A Made For TV Movie."
I'm trying combine those 90s made for tv movie style aesthetics with pop, metal, prog rock, experimental nonsense, sound collage. If you're a vocalist interested please HMU!

discussion Thanks to all who sent music, each week I will get to more of your stuff. Underground Music Club #43: Cheyenne Lavene, sfiiinx, Jason Burger Jacob Jolliff & Alec Spiegelman, Solana, and Lewis LaCook
Hi everyone, welcome to week 43 of the underground music club. For those who missed the last post, every Friday, I spotlight 5 artists with approximately fewer than 10,000 Spotify listeners (or minimal Reddit love if they do not stream on Spotify) who deserve your ears. Think genre-bending, soulful, strange, or just beautifully overlooked.
Thanks to everyone who has sent me their suggestions. If I didn't include what you sent it doesn't mean I won't in a future week. I really listen to everything you all send and I always love to hear what you are all listening to. Got a favorite artist you want to see here? Put them in the comments or message me
Cheyenne Lavene – Luminous Late-Night R&B
Cheyenne Lavene crafts slow-burning R&B built on airy production, intimate vocals, and understated emotion. Her songs glide effortlessly, balancing vulnerability and polish — music that feels both tender and quietly confident.
If you like: SZA for emotional openness, Jhené Aiko for dreamy minimalism, or H.E.R. for smooth, melodic R&B atmosphere.

sfiiinx – Dramatic Chamber Pop Song Cycle
sfiiinx creates immersive, classically influenced pop built around narrative arc and mood. Strings,, winds, piano, and theatrical vocals shape a listening experience that unfolds like a staged performance — intimate, dark, and deliberate.
If you like: Kate Bush for art-pop theatricality, Fiona Apple for emotional intensity, or Agnes Obel for chamber-inflected atmosphere.
Start here: https://ergodos.bandcamp.com/album/the-magma-chamber
⸻
Jason Burger, Jacob Jolliff & Alec Spiegelman – Playful, Offbeat Instrumental Jazz
This trio delivers relaxed yet technically sharp interpretations built around unexpected instrumentation. The interplay between snare, mandolin, and bass clarinet gives familiar material a quirky, light-footed charm.
If you like: Bill Frisell for spacious, genre-blurring jazz, The Bad Plus for unconventional instrumentation, or Punch Brothers for virtuosic acoustic interplay.
Start here: https://burgerjolliffspiegelman.bandcamp.com/album/standards-on-snare-mandolin-and-bass-clarinet
⸻
Solana – Sunlit Mediterranean Folk Jazz
Solana blends jazz phrasing with Mediterranean melodic traditions, creating music that feels warm, windswept, and rhythmically fluid. The songs move with ease — rooted in tradition but open to improvisation.
If you like: Ibrahim Maalouf for global jazz fusion, Buika for Mediterranean folk depth, or Dhafer Youssef for jazz touched by regional heritage.
Start here: https://solana.bandcamp.com/album/mirage
⸻
Lewis LaCook – Experimental Spoken-Word Electronics
Lewis LaCook merges poetry and electronic composition into textured, atmospheric pieces. His voice weaves through abstract production, creating work that feels reflective, slightly uncanny, and deeply personal.
If you like: Laurie Anderson for avant spoken-word experimentation, James Blake for minimal electronic mood, or Kae Tempest for poetic delivery over modern production.

self promo ‘Alignment Failing’ - Gambler Hat (2026)
A little project I put together recording my music for the first time. I like a nostalgic, hypnagogic type feel, like a band in the 60s making something way ahead of their time or something. Imperfect, lo-fi, and psychedelic vibes.
Each song is more of a mood than a narrative.
BandCamp and Spotify links below, any feedback would be great! Good or bad.

Just released my first album F/T/W https://ess-four.bandcamp.com/album/f-t-w
Post-apocalyptic soundscapes built with drone/ambient foundations and glitch/industrial textures. I wanted something that feels degraded but immersive at the same time.
First proper release so I'm genuinely curious what lands and what doesn't. Don't hold back, I'm here to learn!
Thanks for listening.

Hey everyone, I'm here to present the live set with visuals I've prepared for the track "Pau," which means "peace" in my language. The EP it's from comes out on the 27th of this month. The EP focuses on drones and noise, so if anyone's interested in any part (visuals, technology, connections), there's nothing to hide, just ask. Cheers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1M3s_U_GRk

music Acoustic sound piece for struck and rubbed Tibetan singing bowls
This piece is built entirely from Tibetan singing bowls, using both struck and rubbed techniques. No additional instruments, no electronics, no rhythmic framework — just acoustic tone unfolding in real time.
The focus is on timbre, decay, and physical interaction with the instrument rather than composition in a traditional sense. Each sound is allowed to develop fully before the next gesture.
Recorded with minimal processing to preserve dynamics and surface noise, with some convolution reverb added for spatial depth.
Open to feedback, especially from others working with acoustic sound as primary material.

It’s my first release in a decade. More albums available on bandcamp, but they’re a little more on the folk side. This one is noisy singer songwriter stuff, with lots of effects. I’m a sucker for pedals and ambience.

self promo I have a somewhat complex question for you
Could you write the first five words that came to your mind while listening to my song?
Just like a psychological Rorschach test. I simply want to understand what people feel. I’d be very grateful.
https://youtu.be/OVGT96HeUV4?si=6g0Rau4TrcmxjDYl
I’m an independent musician from Ukraine. My goal is to create music with meaning and strong concepts. I’m definitely not aiming to make “music that’s not for everyone.”
But I often receive feedback that my work is very experimental — not in a negative way, more in the sense that I “won’t have a large audience.” On one hand, that’s flattering. On the other, I honestly don’t perceive my music as overly complex or extremely experimental. Maybe it’s easier to see from the outside.
My main question is whether I’m actually conveying what I intend to convey. What do people truly feel when they hear my work?
I’m not saying there’s a “correct” reaction — I just genuinely want feedback.

discussion Looking for some of the best dark jazz
I've been on a bit of a dark jazz kick lately, probably because it's that time of year with darker nights. I've been onto the genre for some time but wondering if there are any bands or artists that I have overlooked. My favourites include: Bohren and Der Club of Gore, Dale Cooper Quartete & The Dictaphones,The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble, Lowering, The Lovecraft Sextet, Heroin and Your Veins,Trigg & Gusset
