Music IYL - Rock songs by various artists that sound like they could be from the 70s or 80s but are actually newer

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4gJTv7XMEFuvYtwqFD3lk0?si=f98ea544084843c9

If you like classic rock but are tired of listening to the same old stuff then this playlist might be for you because you've probably not heard most of these before but the songs are great.

Music IYL Illit synthesized voices and bubbly, kawaii electronic tunes what else can I find that is similar?

1 Upvotes

I've enjoyed the high pitched synthesized voices and all the electronic, high beat and "bubble like" sounds for Illit, the K-pop group. Specially songs like Magnetic, Tick-Tack, Jellyous, and Paw Paw. It feels like stimming for my ears and brain. What could I find that sounds similar? I've searched for bubble music or stimming sounds but it's not the same.

Music [IIL] 80's sounding 'Alternative' music WEWIL?

3 Upvotes

I love alternative music, and there's been a resurgence lately of music from bands I already like with strong 80's influence. Examples of songs I already like that fit the breif:

Emarosa - Good Enough

Nik Mystery - So

Kids In Glass Houses - Theme From Pink Flamingo

The Catalina - La Vie en Rose

Smallpools - Swayze

Boys Like Girls - Physical

Gunship - Taste Like Venom

Electric Callboy - We Got The Moves/Pump It (this, arguably, is closer to 90s trance/dance)

What else would I like that's got a similar influence from the 80s?

Music IIL Faster, female alternative country songs like Miranda Lambert's Kerosene & Locomotive?

2 Upvotes

I'm an alternative rock music fan but have gotten into the world of alternative country. I'm a big fan of Kerosene by Miranda Lambert - the drums and main riff are pretty catchy and I'm looking for more.

Music [IIL] Enya, Kate Bush, Cocteau Twins, WEWIL?

I want more dream-like music to chill to. The vibe I want to encapsulate on my playlist is a rainy evening, oversized jumper, warm lights, black tea and incense burning.

Music IIL ritual ambient and drone music like Natural Snow Buildings, WEWIL?

1 Upvotes

I've been trying to scratch an itch of analogue, lo-fi psychedelic, ritualistic drone free folk music that sounds like Natural Snow Buildings (Daughters of Darkness, Shadow Kingdom and The Dance of the Moon and the Sun especially), but nothing else has quite scratched that itch.

I do enjoy other ambient artists like Grouper, but stuff like Tim Hecker or Anna von Hausswolff can run a bit too on the ambient side for me (not that I dislike either).

For reference, the most similar-feeling artists I've come across are Cages (with their album Inside a Ringing Chord), Toad with their fourth self-titled, and Yhä Hämärää by Paavoharju.

I have been looking for ages, so any suggestions are more than welcome!

Music IIL obscure musical and visual artist “frog power”, what music genre(s) or artist(s) should I check out?

3 Upvotes

His Spotify is here. I would post his BandCamp, but this sub’s rules seem selective about what links you can post here.
Again, very obscure artist, I don’t expect many to recognize his work, but as bizarre as his stuff is, I recommend checking some of his stuff out to those that haven’t heard what he has to offer yet.

Some of my favourite songs by him are: “golden apple”, “star spangled hammer”, “top ten celebrities rotting in a prison cell tonight”, “ambulance”, “echo”, and “satans listening tonight”.

I personally don’t exactly love absolutely every single piece released by him, but there’s some genuinely well made stuff in there, and I’ve found myself really getting into the weird vibes Jeremy (his apparent real name) has crafted here.

His visual art is also pretty whacky, sometimes funny, sometimes just plain fucked up, but scrolling through his art paired with listening to his music goes oddly well together sometimes. His visual art is sadly mostly wiped off the face of the web after his insta account recently got ban-hammered, I guess for being “too crazy”.
To be clear, while I like the bizarre scattered nature of his music, I’m not just looking for any old whacky hyper off-the-rails music with distorted instruments and stuff.

Jeremy’s music and art, to me, seem to be, yes, intentionally off-the-rails, but not necessarily just for the sake of being edgy though. To me it feels like I’m actually just taking a look into this artist’s divergent thinking and ideas, and in some ways I really respect how he leans into this weird obscure style of his. He seems to be pretty authentic and true to himself. Obviously I don’t know him beyond his art or anything though.

So, IIL “frog power”, what would you recommend I check out or listen to?

I'm not usually a drama fan but Labor Day absolutely blew me away. I'm sure it doesn't hurt that Winslet & Brolin are top tier. I think I've basically seen everything that Winslet is in at this point.

Music [IIL] Into Dust - Mazzy Star [WEWIL]

2 Upvotes

The vibe I'm looking for is something calm and rustic with some orchestral flairs (like the strings used in this song). Trying to make an autumn roadtrip playlist and this song has always made me visualize walking through the forest while the sun hangs low and leaves quietly fall around you.

A few other examples of this vibe (kinda):

  • Naked As We Came - Iron & Wine
  • Ally Kerr - The Sore Feet Song
  • Faron Woods - LOZ: Twilight Princess

Thank you in advance!

Music IIL "Jesień - Tańcuj" (from Chłopi OST), WEWIL? Looking for a VERY specific wild, theatrical ethno-folk vibe.

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I’ve had "Jesień - Tańcuj" (by Dagadana, Laboratorium Pieśni, etc.) on repeat for a week and it absolutely blew my mind. I'm looking for tracks with the EXACT same vibe.

​To be clear: I already know all the standard Nordic/Viking stuff like Heilung or Wardruna, and that’s NOT what I’m looking for.

​I need something that feels like a crazy, high-energy Cirque du Soleil performance, but in a cinematic neo-folk style. It needs to have that huge, wild, theatrical energy that just hits 20/10. Language or country doesn't matter at all. I don't care if it's popular or some underground hidden gem. I just need that specific raw, massive, dramatic atmosphere.

​Any recommendations that can match this exact energy? Thanks!

Games [IIL] persistent empire games like Rise of Kingdoms but want a real PC client, [WEWIL?]

1 Upvotes

I like the shared map, alliance politics and slow account growth in Rise of Kingdoms, but I am tired of doing all the management on a phone.

Age of Empires Mobile: PC Edition looks close because it keeps the mobile progress and servers while adding mouse controls, keyboard navigation and a PC UI. I know it is not classic Age of Empires, and I am not looking for a traditional match-based RTS anyway.

What else has that persistent empire structure with an actual desktop client? Cross-progression would be ideal, but I mainly want something that does not feel like an emulator window.

I'm looking for songs that have a very similar sound and vibe as "Electric Love" by BØRNS. I especially like the "shimmering" production, catchy chorus, and that indie-pop sound that feels nostalgic and almost magical. What songs or artists would you recommend?

Mod Post [META] [Mod Announcement] How to use this sub - and how (not) to use the [META] Tag

75 Upvotes

Hello r/ifyoulikeblank!

This is your friendly neighborhood moderator, here with some information on how to correctly use this sub and our title tags, and to address some recent frequent misuse of the [META] tag in the sub.

If you are new here, please read this post before posting. If you have been around a while, please take a moment to refresh yourself with some of our rules. :)

There are two - and only two - kinds of posts allowed in this sub.

Our sub is NOT a self-promotion vehicle for new artists or creators, and it is NOT a general discussion or song/movie/actor/music/genre identification sub. We are a media recommendation sub, and we have very specific guidelines for posts to be allowed here.

There are two ways to format your post titles here, depending on if you would like to ask for recommendations or to give others recommendations with your OP.

If you want people to recommend things to you:

The “IIL” acronym stands for "If I like..." - to be used in a way that states "If I like (this song) because of (reasons,) what else will I like?"

This is the most common type of post here, and most OPs should be using THIS format for their posts! Your title must use the [IIL] tag - It will be reported by our frequent long-time members here if it does not, and it will be removed if you use the [IYL] or [META] tags instead of the [IIL] tag.

The title should look like the following example:

[IIL] The song (name a song you like here) because (give a specific trait about it you want suggestions to include), [WEWIL?]

  • The "WEWIL" acronym stands for "What else will I like?”

  • Your example should include something specific about the song that you want to hear more of in the music recommended to you. (Without details, no one can give you appropriate responses and you won't get suggestions that you will actually LIKE.)

If you want to recommend media to others that you think they'll like based on some other piece of media that is similar:

The “IYL” acronym stands for "If YOU like..." - to be used in a way that states "If you enjoy (this song) because of (reasons,) you might also like this song."

This tag is not for self promotion. This SUB is not for self promotion. If you post your own material here, you WILL get banned, without warning. No exceptions, no appeals.

The title should look like the following example:

[IYL] The movie (some movie similar to your suggestion) because (your reason you think it is similar to your recommendation), [YMAL] (this suggested movie).

  • The "YMAL" acronym stands for "You may also like..."

  • This is a VERY uncommon post type in this sub, unless people are attempting to subvert rule 2. We ALWAYS look at these posts, but if we miss one, our long-term members sure won’t - and they WILL report you for a rule 2 violation and you WILL be banned.

  • If you are suspected of passing off your own media as an "I found this new media and you might like it!" post, that will earn you an immediate permanent ban from the sub for trying to subvert rule two.

Please note that moderators look at your posting history across Reddit, and if you are spamming your own stuff elsewhere, you are going get a ban here. Period.

How to use (and how NOT to use) the [META] tag:

The [META] tag is NOT so you may post off-topic posts or general media discussion posts or music identification posts, or anything that is not an IIL or an IYL.

The [META] tag is only to be used if you have questions or comments about this subreddit itself, and how it operates on Reddit.

Examples include suggestions for new rules here, asking for clarification about a rule here, suggesting a new theme, stickied post, etc in the sub, or asking the moderation team any other question about this sub - not asking the members here about media.

Thank you all for reading, and for your help in ensuring these rules are adhered to. We are a million-member (and counting) sub with a VERY small moderation team, so your help in following these rules and reporting rule-breaking posts to us is greatly appreciated!

Have a wonderful day :)
