The Avant Garde/Experimental Music Recommendation Thread

[Somnidelius]

Thank you Grindy :-D . Does anyone know experimental Avantgerds-Bands including melodic singing? Similare to Thinking Plague, Morgan Delt, Aquaserge oder Deerhoff? Most Avantgarde-Bands I can find only produce pure instrumental music.

And one other Thing that would interest me: Would you consider experimental and modern Shoegaze-bands like "Whirr", "Sway" (check out EP "The Millia Pink And Green" on Youtube) and "The Telewire" (check out song "Feel like Fire" on Youtube) as avantgardistic? I'm undecided concerning this question: On the one hand the Shoegaze-guitar-Sound of these Bands is such experimental that it has a taste of Avantgarde or of an Opposition to normal Rock oder Pop. On the other Hand, it's perhaps better if Shoegaze stands as a complete Genre for its own, because all these Shoegaze-Bands I mentioned transpose their experimentality in the same way: They reduce it to the dreamy-wooled guitar-sound in combination with a little over-reverbed voice, whereas the composing of the melodies - in my personal oppinion - isn't "queer" enough to be called "avantgardistic", and these bands don't apply the typical-avantgardistic "breaches" of harmonic consonance or illusions... in the contrary: They even mark themselves by keeping up the harmonic consonance, but a lilttle avantgardistic touch is rebuild by letting fade this "harmonic consonance" into "the illusion of a dreamsphere", where different tones are not dinstinguishable among each other so that in this case, even the maintaining of an illusion can be associated with an avantgardistic/ surrrealistic touch. But it is questionable if "expermentality" is avantgardistic if it is an experimentality generally shared by most bands of a certain genre and not an experimentalitiy used by a single band who tries to delimit itself from all other bands. In return, it is also questionable to define avantgardisitic music with this criterion of an "as large as possilbe delimitation from all other bands". And in philosophing around this way, I'm starting to notice that it is even more questionable if there is a general criterion for avantgardistic music :-D :-D :-D .

Thanks for your answers in advance!
