Zelienople are in some respects my Platonic ideal of a band but I always seem to forget about them. Just listened to Hold You Up and it's predictably gorgeous.

Matt Christensen is sounding weirdly reminiscent of Adam Granduciel on the whole record.

I thought "wait, who is that?" then as soon as I hear the first syllable of vocals in the above song, instantly "oh yeah that guy"

surprised that there's not been mention of sylvian's nine horses project though.
Just stumbled on this and thought of this thread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5hp4nIJd-8

I feel that unearth, one of the great and most consistent users of RYM, has basically his whole taste built around Talk Talk. https://rateyourmusic.com/list/unearth/eternal-recurrence/1/

I only got to 150 but good grief that’s a dull list.

It's auto-generated from 5-star reviews in Mojo.

Careful, there might be a list

So his taste is drastically different than most people who would be reading a message board thread about Talk Talk?

idk let's magnify the boring and poll it

last few comments aren't really in the spirit of this great thread tbh and a bit unnecessary
is the need to feel superior to someone that pressing, really

the internet took "hey we like the same things, let's be friends!" and mutated that into "i only like you if you hate the same things as me."

although, yes: i am automatically suspicious of any rate your music user.
Modern Nature's Annual from last year (or was it the year before?). Their new album Island of Noise is perhaps more like Mark Hollis

So uh, this was just released today:

It's now on streaming platforms but no non-lossy digital downloads are available yet.

Listening to this now. It's nice - like morning vacation music. Reminds me a bit of All India Radio's vibe.

sounds like an AI was tasked with making something that sounds like a Talk Talk album
― Jaime Pressly and America (f. hazel), Friday, 22 April 2022 15:25 (two years ago) link
Well, "members of Talk Talk, etc" lacking Hollis has a similar weight as "a new movie from one of the Executive Producers of...", so hearing it more in RIYL vein, works for me.

Is there really anything that sounds like Spirit of Eden?

I'll cross-link this thread about Thirteen Moons to this thread:
Thirteen Moons (RIYL Talk Talk, Tim Buckley, Blue Nile, 4AD, et al)

Also worthy of mention, a biography of Hollis is coming out in the next couple of months. Somebody Wardle?

Current issue of mojo apparently has an excerpt

the Held By Trees album is really good (though the last track definitely gets guitar wanky in a more Dire Straits/Floyd way than some might like).
― akm, Sunday, 24 April 2022 15:45 (two years ago) link
if anyone is looking for music that sounds very like early talk talk, have you heard this one yet?

the artist is called better person btw, zakochany człowiek is the name of the song

The new Thousands record is rather good and fulfills this criteria - https://thousands.bandcamp.com/album/no-farther-moon

Lately I have been enjoying Modern Nature's No Fixed Point in Space, which features Julie Tippetts and Chris Abrahams of The Necks, also Maria Elena Silva's "Jasper" (wait for the brushed snare at 3mins):
