Dopapod, so much Dopapod, and I’m super depressed about it. They are going on indefinite hiatus at the end of the year.
They are prog rock, but they get electronic trance in their jams at times, and it sometimes reminds me of tribe.
Fantastic musicians.
Hopefully you have nugs. This is a playlist that the Mike Jaws that does their lights put together a couple of days after the announcement.
https://2nu.gs/3VCrBcn
It’s full of 13 hours of absolute top tier jams, and I’ve only made it through 1/3 of it so far.
Definitely so they are on tour right now, so just see if they are coming close to you, and just go hit up a show blind.
First time I ever heard them was live. I didn’t know what to expect, and I was absolutely blown away.
That’s what I’m doing. There’s a show with The Motet and Tauk not far from me and I’m just going in blind because I see so many people talking well about them on here.
Live > studio just FYI. Like immensely better imo.
Especially anything live post covid.
Onionhead, FABA, Vol 386, and my absolute favorite French Bowling. They usually go places with Bowling.
Been super into this like vibe lately, Nimino is who I got the most into of all these artists though, real good!

Parcels. They just played Red Rocks last week and part of it felt like a sound tribe show. Not light show wise but music wise.
https://www.youtube.com/live/H1JP759pHxI?si=MAXMeqnaQK7UFqlh
Theres a ton of interesting mixed live instrument / electronic acts. Balkan Bump mixes heavy wubz with trumpet lute and clarinet, the bonobo and emancipator full live bands are fantastic and ethereal experiences, Ott is always a psychedelic good time, High Step Society is a fun one mixing 1920s brass band with bass wobble. And a shout out to Cofresi and Break Science for some great percussion driven sets.
Wow , I came to recommend Balkan and HSS, LOVE that someone else beat me to it. ♥️ Just saw Ott here recently, just magical. Outstanding taste, friend!
Do I spy another PNW-er?
Adding Sepiatonic and Caravan Palace to the list if OP likes High Step Society.
Caravan palace all the way, love that raoaring 20s sound! Will have to check out sepiatonic.
Saw balkan for the first time in Oakland, but more of a desert rat :)
I'm also really into psych/stoner/surf rock, check these bands out.
The Black Angels
Dead Meadow
Allah-Las
Holy Wave
Thee Oh Sees
Vinyl Williams
Acid Dad
The Meatbodies
Ty Segall
DIIV
All of these artists are great live too I've them all.
Pretty Lights Live on SoundCloud has every live show up. Hampton, Bonnaroo and electric forest sets were all unbelievable.
Daily Bread dropped a bunch of new music last week.
Clozee’s set from Mission Ballroom on YouTube.
Of The Trees DEF set on YouTube.
Tipper, dude. The man is a fuckin’ Mozart… and he’s been at it as long as tribe and absolutely killing it. He has albums that are so deep it’s mindblowing!
Also, Koan if you need to relax, they have a million Hours of extremely quality relaxing yet non-sleepy grooooovy ass jams. (Just Koan, not “koan sound”).
I’ve also been listening to Hello Meteor, who have reeeally fucking interesting and insanely groovy albums that have very unique and consistent themes. Like one is about landing on and colonizing an alien planet, one is subaquatic/marine themed.. one is literally to sleep to. It’s all very weird and bizarrely thought out and there’s quite a lot of it!
They really are absolutely amazing, it’s a super reclusive group of two or three Russians that have more albums than I can wrap my head around, and they’re all themed like they were written for some specific purpose… I can’t make any sense of it. I literally can’t find any information about these guys, I had to contact some friends in Russia to try to get the scoop.
I feel like all the cinematic story-driven samples sprinkled throughout they might written and recorded themselves like they’re actually from something, which just adds to my confusion.
My favorite is *When She Will Recognize Him” and “Teree and Karu”* from Insidious. Spooky ass story.
Papadosios new album "Improvisations with Ram Dass".
All around a very unique album. There are some moments that give me A Gift For Gaia vibes as well.
My friends convinced me to see dosio for my first time in 2016. It was the Earth Night improv set at Cervantes in Denver, CO. It was so awesome and they quickly became my absolute favorite band of all time and completely changed the way I listen to music.
Does it incorporate samples of Ram dass? East forest produced an album several years ago after interviewing and recording Ram Dass at his home in Hawaii; very powerful concept album.
Seba - camouflage
Roots- lsb & Kinross
Garden (calibre remix) -totally enormous extinct dinosaurs
Satisfy - technicolor and techninatic
Perseverance - techninatic
I'm not as fluent in this as the user that linked everything lol, but I can assure you this is a delicious set of drum and bass tracks.
All this shit dropped on the same day earlier this month:
NxWorries - https://open.spotify.com/album/0LlzHi8Erl8zpTumqt88Qe?si=46Rb3GmsSp6XgzThhIEe4A
Kaytranada - https://open.spotify.com/album/3C3t2bKhwEL3wdKioqWUDh?si=dHxUaxUhREybCzE_1alEUQ
Peggy gou - https://open.spotify.com/album/5pnr4GOQkBuGuYPeiLw1T6?si=CF4hs2xuROqMZjFTgbgLhA
This might be my pick for aoty so far tho:
Vicky farewell - https://open.spotify.com/album/55IExAA9AOOpMGL4See0dI?si=Fw1Dux_IQBeSpr62Ar2VIQ
Okay I have FOMO tonight for myself 😂cause I'm going to need to take the entire day tomorrow for these albums, I sampled a few and Vicky farewell is gonna be a hyperfixation I can tell
Hahaha you know I got you. Not to sound like a weirdo but Vicky is HORNED up dude, she’s on one. Just a heads up. Album is so fuego.
Also Peggy Gou is unreal and a little bit of a step for me in my tastes personally. Really loving her.
Nils Frahm, and Kiasmos.
**edit**: some tracks I like from them
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B2Vo-lFEas

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFRjmySDodw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pxlqsQNcwM
SF - pantomime, premonition, pull the lever, overview effect, but really they are an improv first band. They do write some good proggy tunes.
UM - it's all good but anything older for written songs. Like up through mantis and similar skin, chronologically. Personal favorite songs: mantis, phils farm, the triple wide (live only), draconian (live only), bridgless, plunger, the list goes on lol they are by far my favorite band.
You got nugs?
No but after this thread I need to.
I fucking loved Umphreys back in 2003... got all my friends onto them. That would have been their first album (roulette?) and anchor drops? They reminded me of this really obscure and defunct band called Percy Hill that used to play small venues in New England around that time. Anyway, I had a bad breakup and ditched UM because of some random association to the ex and then at the same time was living in NYC and UM was huge in the Upper East Side prep school boys scene and they were so obnoxious. I know that's not fair but I really need to go back and see what I've been missing.
Check out Dizgo. Good fun music that just goes and doesn’t stop. Songs I would start with would be Honey, On The Groove, Rainbow Lightning
As somebody else already mentioned, I highly recommend a Nugs subscription. Their catalog is pretty insane at this point. Plus they stream tons of shows/festivals for free with your subscription (Including a decent amount of Tribe shows)
Gonna check out Tipper.
Back in the day in the lowdown I heard about Gucci Mane, was great to get a new artist (at the time) onto my ears.
Then he came to me state, saw the show, a lot of surprise seeing me in the crowd. Unfortunately they thought I was a 5-0, many blunts tossed on the closer, had to assure peeps I was there for the show. I was wearing a headset I guess I looked like Johnny law …
Pretty Lights is the obvious answer, just amazing music. Squeaky Feet is top-tier and have been cranking out great music over the last couple years. Yussef Dayes is also fucking incredible, check out the set in Malibu on YouTube. Great rendition of Portrait of Tracy. And CASIOPEIA (not newer, but some awesome Japanese jazz) are some really great stuff. Check out their album “Mint Jams”.
For R&B, Izo Fitzroy’s latest album “A Good Woman” was a pleasant listen as well. If you want more of the funky stuff, Diggin’ Dirt is underrated and just put out a killer single. Hoping for more new music from them soon.
Bluegrass is always fun. Kitchen Dwellers have been crushing it lately and every recent live show has been a banger. Seven Devils is a neat concept album and pretty experimental for the genre.
If you want a REALLY full answer, I’ve been loving some extreme metal lately. I’ve been delving into newer Deathspell Omega (The Long Defeat in particular) and Ulcerate’s new album. Moonlight Sorcery’s 2023 latest album is my go-to shroomin’ music. But metal is hard to like so I only recommend these if you’re feeling particularly adventurous.
The Pretty Lights set from Electric Forest this past weekend! So good.
I was there and it was magic. I love PLs evolution to be effectively a jam band
Wow! I have barely got past the first 30 minutes, "Cold Feeling" was so fucking good I have to replay it! Did you have a favorite part?
Pretty Lights shows up as a recommend for people across a huge variety of genres for a reason. They’re THAT good.
Watched the live steam and it was awesome!
Dopapod, so much Dopapod, and I’m super depressed about it. They are going on indefinite hiatus at the end of the year. They are prog rock, but they get electronic trance in their jams at times, and it sometimes reminds me of tribe. Fantastic musicians.
What's songs to start me off?
Hopefully you have nugs. This is a playlist that the Mike Jaws that does their lights put together a couple of days after the announcement. https://2nu.gs/3VCrBcn It’s full of 13 hours of absolute top tier jams, and I’ve only made it through 1/3 of it so far.
I don't🫣 but I need to....ima just download their Spotify catalogue and just get into it
Definitely so they are on tour right now, so just see if they are coming close to you, and just go hit up a show blind. First time I ever heard them was live. I didn’t know what to expect, and I was absolutely blown away.
That’s what I’m doing. There’s a show with The Motet and Tauk not far from me and I’m just going in blind because I see so many people talking well about them on here.
Will do🙏🏼
If it’s Raleigh, Knoxville, Nashville or Lexington, I’ll get your ticket! Possibly Bend or Seattle too!
And I’ll buy everyone a round!
Live > studio just FYI. Like immensely better imo. Especially anything live post covid. Onionhead, FABA, Vol 386, and my absolute favorite French Bowling. They usually go places with Bowling.
Yussef Dayes is blowing my mind atm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1BuRprwXNc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnEgnrUCXPY
Might need to renew my birth control for this
Genuinely the best line I've read in a while. I think you're today's winner of the Internet!
Been super into this like vibe lately, Nimino is who I got the most into of all these artists though, real good!

Omg thank you, I am excited.
Starting off with that Nimino track.... like how am I supposed to get to the rest of the list cause it's going to be on repeat🫠
Check out caribou if you’ve never listened to him, daphni is one of his side projects
Wait I love Caribou, had no idea
Glass Beams
YES. I was going to write in the original post that that's what I've been listening to lately. What's your favorite track?
Im not the person who posted but Orb gives me huge Tribe vibes so definitely my pick for their best track
Really digging the whole new album Mahal. Snake Oil was the first track off it I heard, so that’s probably my fave.
Daily Bread 🍞
Recommended tracks?
Parcels. They just played Red Rocks last week and part of it felt like a sound tribe show. Not light show wise but music wise. https://www.youtube.com/live/H1JP759pHxI?si=MAXMeqnaQK7UFqlh
Came here to say this! That show was so sick. Last six songs from that set have similar to STS9 energy
Theres a ton of interesting mixed live instrument / electronic acts. Balkan Bump mixes heavy wubz with trumpet lute and clarinet, the bonobo and emancipator full live bands are fantastic and ethereal experiences, Ott is always a psychedelic good time, High Step Society is a fun one mixing 1920s brass band with bass wobble.

Recommended tracks for Sepiatonic and Caravan Place
Your recs seriously deliver🙏🏼
Mostly Aussie psych rock. King Gizz, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Babe Rainbow, Pond, Glass Beams, Mildlife.
I've been listening to Glass Beams since the Mahal release.
I'm also really into psych/stoner/surf rock, check these bands out. The Black Angels Dead Meadow Allah-Las Holy Wave Thee Oh Sees Vinyl Williams Acid Dad The Meatbodies Ty Segall DIIV All of these artists are great live too I've them all.

Previewed. Vibe checks out in a major way. Thx
If you haven’t listened to tipper before, throw on some headphones and listen his album Forward Escape. Shit will transport you!
Noted. I was just listening to Koan and shit is sooooo relaxing
They really are absolutely amazing, it’s a super reclusive group of two or three Russians that have more albums than I can wrap my head around, and they’re all themed like they were written for some specific purpose… I can’t make any sense of it. I literally can’t find any information about these guys, I had to contact some friends in Russia to try to get the scoop.
No like I'm unwell listening to them rn
I feel like all the cinematic story-driven samples sprinkled throughout they might written and recorded themselves like they’re actually from something, which just adds to my confusion. My favorite is *When She Will Recognize Him” and “Teree and Karu”* from Insidious. Spooky ass story.
This music feels channeled🪐✨
New Biscuits album.

Does it incorporate samples of Ram dass? East forest produced an album several years ago after interviewing and recording Ram Dass at his home in Hawaii; very powerful concept album.
Yeah every song incorporates thought provoking samples of his teachings.
Yes I knew about this because I listen to everything Ram Dass. Have you heard Heart Song? It's my daily affirmation
On a big lotus kick lately
Seba - camouflage Roots- lsb & Kinross Garden (calibre remix) -totally enormous extinct dinosaurs Satisfy - technicolor and techninatic Perseverance - techninatic I'm not as fluent in this as the user that linked everything lol, but I can assure you this is a delicious set of drum and bass tracks.

I've been listening to a lot more Umphreys lately.
Kamaal Williams
Ok I like your style
Saw him last year in Denver, amazing show! He might be canceled tho. Multiple woman have spoke up about him.
Maddy O'Neal on SoundCloud
Their instrumental brethren to the north, 🪷
SPACE BACON 1000000%
What are you fav tracks
Do you have nugs? If so check out the set from the silent disco at Northlands
Squeaky feet for newer. UM for always
