Music Banter - View Single Post - Any Uniquely Crafty & Complicated New Music Out There ?

listener101 · 06-27-2018, 09:04 PM

Looking for new stuff which doesn't loop the same 3-4 chords, the same bassline, the same exact thumping rhythms, those typical mindlessly dumb party lyrics - instead, stuff which is BUSY with the chords and harmonies, highly melodic, dynamic and strange/weird/unique/innovative/original.

Examples : David Bowie, XTC, Adam and The Ants, The Beach Boys (heavier later stuff), The Beatles (heavier later stuff), Stevie Wonder (his 1970's catalogue).

You know, that sort of progressive, imaginative, skilled songcraft where it seems as if the artist is really on their own planet, not conforming to simple minimalist trends, but is actually trying to put out some artistic depth, surprises, curveballs, mid-song shifts/transformations and an experience which really challenges the listener.
