Anyone Know of Anyone Good "Down-Tempo" Bands?
 

Hey, does anyone know of any good "Down-Tempo" bands? Any music similar to the band Mogwai wold be good. I like stuff a little more on the deppressing side. Would appreciate any replies, thanks

Perfect !

Haven't checked out Mogwai, but maybe brand new if you're looking for depressing...

khanate

Low or The One AM Radio maybe?

Erm... Portishead were pretty good. Check out their early work.

Cold had some depressing type songs.

A Silver Mt. Zion

for an older band, maybe The Jesus and Mary Chain

Air - Moon Safari
Red House Painters
M83
Check out a song by - The Crimea called out of africa thats a kinda moody, mellow, scratchy type tune.
Elsiane
The Most Serene Republic - a Song called "Phages" is awsome

If you like Mogwai, then the obvious band for you to listen to is Slint (primarily Spiderland).

I have heard a lot about SLINT. I think I will have to check them out.

Oh yes you should. Slint's Spiderland is my favorite album. Another Louisville band with a similar vibe is Rodan whose sole album Rusty is rather good.

Are you talking down tempo as in the genre, or like trip-hop (DJ Shadow, Portishead)?

^That confused me too: for instance Back in Communist Russia... were a great band and their music could be described as down-tempo, but certainly not in the manner of most trip-hop bands.

secondhand serenade is pretty depressing and "down tempo" (I guess...down tempo is a pretty subjective phrase)

okay sorry I haven't replied but I've been busy. Anyways, a better way to describe what I'm looking for is deppressing/angry "Trip-Top". It would be even better if it had some guitar in it too, but anyways, I hope that helps tell you what I'm looking for. Thanks.

Ah, Low.

The Great Destroyer is a really great album.

by what band?

By what abnd is "The Great Destroyer"?

^The band's name is Low. I'd say The Great Destroyer is the easiest album for any rock fan to get into, but my personal favourite is Long Division. If you like them, check out Codeine or Red House Painters.

Try Straylight Run, The Thrills maybe.
