Music that sounds like 'Spirit of Eden' and 'Laughing Stock'

I know what you mean, there is a resemblance in the sound. But firstly it is quite repetitive like all Necks songs I have ever listened to. And secondly there is no tune in the piece above. As it is common for The Necks but not for Talk Talk. But I agree that track is about the best I have ever heard by The Necks.

That Lo Moon clip upthread though really sounds like a reincarnation of Talk Talk. The singer has got a similar high voice as Mark Hollis, there is a warm & delicate chamber music feel with a strong hook. Yes!

Tamara Lindeman really gave me the shivers today:

This little soundtrack snippet came up on my mp3 player and I thought it sounded like it could be something from late Talk Talk or Hollis's solo album.

what is it, pheel? i'm getting an error message.

pleased to see that rain tree crow was mentioned early on. surprised that there's not been mention of sylvian's nine horses project though.

ha I saw this thread bumped and thought "bet it's The Weather Station"

The album entire is gorgeous btw

"Beautiful People" by Mark Pritchard & Thom Yorke has a big Mark Hollis vibe.

Wow @ that Weather Station track! Album due Feb, according to Amazon UK.

Alex - the Pheeel link is to #findfrank, a solo piano piece from the Stephen Rennicks 'Frank' (Sidebottom) soundtrack.

thanks for the loma track, that's absolutely amazing. 100% late talk talk. a beautiful build-up, even the small noisy bits remind me of them. and her voice is phenomenal. the rest of the album though doesn't click with me at all.

i meant the atonal bits of the woodwind instruments.

That's weird, because the rest of the album is totally of a piece with that track.

really? then i have to give it another go.

This lovely piece from the new Gaze is Ghost record is giving me slight TT notes.

This is gorgeous, as is the other track - thanks Maresn3st

NP - I'm excited to hear this album when it emerges.

Yeah, I quite liked that.

gaze is ghost v lush

Lilys - Eccsame The Photon Band (1994) often gets miscategorized as "shoegaze" but has this huge Spirit of Eden (esp. the demos of) sound as well as a heaping dose of Japan/Sylvian sprinkled on top.

I feel like the drums on that record might be the controversial element there, though. I could see people feeling like it undermines the quiet moments. Had mixed feelings at one point, but for me they really give the record a unique sound.

think i'm their main cheerleader on ilm, so it would be v remiss of me not to say that zelienople put out yet another great album last year called 'hold you up'. it's all good but this is the closing track off it:

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.

Oh I love this (Zelienople)

that weather station album is finally out and is really good!

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.

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

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

breathtakingly curious about user unearth's thoughts on women

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:

https://mellotone.net/collections/held-by-trees

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

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 an uncanny valley for music?

stereophonics

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)

Who sound like this:

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

Ordered it--hope it's good!

Current issue of mojo apparently has an excerpt
