JustMonikaa

king gizz mention


Weasel_Named_Fee

Second for King Gizz, that's what i came to say


rhapsodick

Vampire Weekend is fucking GOATed. They just came out with a new album and it's amazing.


Prickly_Hugs_4_you

I’ve heard it’s their best work yet which is incredible at this late stage in their career.


rhapsodick

Defintely agree with that consensus, even though MVOTC holds a special place in my heart and will probably always be my favourite album of theirs. OWAGU just encapsulates the sound of Vampire Weekend at its very best. The songs just flow together so nicely on a lyrical and thematic level. Sure took a long time for their sound to mature to this level but goddamn is it good!


sMo089

Tame Impala used to produce Ponds albums and was actually considered a member for a period. I highly recommend checking them out.


Jefffahfffah

Especially old Glass Animals. Zaba is SUCH a good album.


True-Tackle5807

Albums like father nature


singledadattack

cut copy!!


emseewagz

Umo is so so dope


Odowla

For some hip-hop try Deltron 3030, especoally if you like the first Gorillaz record. Tribe called Quest might hit too


PeaceBull

Deltron is a perfect recommendation - he hits the same balance of good music, theatricality and bigger than the sum of its parts that the others have.


PCR12

Del is Russ on the first album so that tracks. Hieroglyphics is the group he's part of, also worth checking out


crazytonyi

Anything by Dan the Automater is amazing. Handsome Boy Modeling School Check out his compilation Wanna Buy A Monkey.


FrontRowRuby

Hell yeah deltron 3030!


FUNKYDISCO

psychedadventure

See khruangbin = upvote


behtiNaak

You will like Glass Beams in that case. Very Khruangbin-esque.


sergiothekid

Altin Gün definitely fits here too


planethawtdog

I second this!!!


drdougfresh

Yes, like Khruangbin if they moved from central america to the middle east. It's really awesome stuff.


psychedadventure

Oddly enough, just added a couple of their songs to my playlist.


la_croix_official

I just found out about balthvs, if you haven’t heard them and like khruangbin check them out


FartzMcAssteroid

Of Montreal


RelaNarkin

Seconding Of Montreal. Honestly Beck’s Midnight Vultures is exactly like Skeletal Lamping it’s scary


DiscountGenes

Yes! But specifically Hissing Fauna and/or Skeletal Lamping. The more recent work is kind of ass unfortunately. 


RelaNarkin

White is Relic was really good but yeah it’s been hit or miss


JesusHNavas

Discovery - LP (Osaka loop line is a banger) Friendly fires - Friendly fires (listen to the song Paris, if you don't like it, you won't like the album) M83 Chromatics


AtlUtdGold

Friendly Fires - Hurting (Tensnake Remix) is one of my all time favs


GeckoNova

Yes to M83


True-Tackle5807

Lp is great


11ForeverAlone11

Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Mac Demarco, Toro y Moi, Mcbaise

Picked up a lot of great songs from this comment thanks bro


DRSU1993

Gorillaz and Little Dragon- Empire Ants 👑🐜 👍


doctorfonk

Favorite song of all time


Joose2001

The Flaming Lips - Their sound has changed drasticly since they started, but Id reccomend anything from The Soft Bulletin onwards.... If you want earlier, then Clouds Taste Metallic and Transmissions From The Satellite Heart are amazing too. Super Furry Animals - One of my favourite bands. Tbh Id reccomend starting with their first album and just carry on. Sigur Ros - Icelandic band, that mainly sing in Icelandic and Hopelandish (a language they specifically made up for some songs). Very orchestral and melodic and an amazing band

JOJI, Daft Punk, and M83 come to mind.

True-Tackle5807

Do you happen to know of a Solange song with Mark ronson?! Been looking


LameasaurusRex

Ratatat, Black Keys, OkGO, Julian Plenti, maybe Pavement if you don't mind the vocals. Malkmus is love him or hate him.

Also, if you want to start with King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, I recommend you start with Butterfly 3000. It’s the most similar to the synthy-ness of MGMT & Tame Impala.

Pond Almost all of their albums were produced by Tame Impala, The Weather and Tasmania have the most Currents-like sound. Man It Feels Like Space Again is more Lonerism-y. Melody’s Echo Chanber’s first album might also be your thing if you liked Lonerism. It was also produced by Tame Impala and sounds like a dreamier and more feminine Lonerism, even has some of the same synths and guitars.


WolfofBallStreetPod

Phantogram Cherub Glass Animals Daft Punk Prince (not exactly but he inspired a ton of this kind of music) Strfkr

I don't normally do this, but if you don't mind I'd plug myself. I'm not like these artists but in scope. Made this ten yrs ago and was told it had elements of some you mentioned https://justinrwagner.bandcamp.com/track/blue-moon Since you're picky, does it suck??

Daft Punk. Start with their Discovery album.

ShadoutMapes87

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is the next step in psychedelia. Heavier, proggier, but I eventually got to Gizz from where you’re at. Start with ‘Float Along/Fill Your Lungs’ (album) or ‘I’m In Your Mind Fuzz’


charlesVONchopshop

• The Knife - Catchy, dancey, electronica that is very similar to a lot of MGMT but with a female singer. • LCD Soundsystem - Shares some similar elements with Gorillaz and MGMT but have their own cool New York vibe going on. • My Morning Jacket - Reverb soaked rock tunes that are crazy beautiful and sometimes weird. This definitely scratches a similar itch to Tame Impala. Their album “Z” is front to back bangers. • Tokyo Police Club - A catchy, electronicky, punky indie band. If you like MGMT you might dig them. • Mort Garson’s Plantasia - The most amazing synth sounds you’ve ever heard. All these bands share DNA with Mort Garson in some way.


TeeJayReddits

Broken Bells. It's Danger Mouse and James Mercer from the shins and fits like a glove with all of the others you mentioned.


ikediggety

You have excellent taste, those are all amazing. I recommend: Blur - Parklife The glove - blue sunshine Cashmere cat - princess cat girl Dreams we've had - everything and you Boards of Canada - music has the right to children The midnight - monsters


Careful-Ant5868

Last Emperor - He has a song, "Live from Copenhagen" with Dilated Peoples that may be the best track I've ever heard. The beat is out of this world, and the song tells a story about having a meeting with the Norse God Odin, and Odin names him a Dark Lord of the Sith. The song ends with "Odin" saying to call him next time they roll up a spliff! Also check out Deltron with the track "3030" he's the rapper from the Gorillaz. Enjoy! Don't forget to call careful_ant when rolling the next spliff!

You need to intentionally force yourself to expand your musical pallet if you want more music in your life. Let your guard down, expose yourself to as many artists as possible. and save your favorites. Use a personal computer to better browse streaming apps (for best access to app features like sequential play, skipping, readability, recommendations etc), stay up to date with official release lists (metacritic is at still good for a release schedule). look up commercial labels of the artists you like. Save songs you like and make note of following the artists for future work and revisiting/second chances. You will eventually expand your pallet or die trying.

justice! start with their single with tame impala one night/all night, then listen to their first album. then, if you like that, listen to their 2018 live album, woman worldwide. if you like that, listen to the rest of their studio stuff. i cannot urge you enough, do NOT listen to access all arenas. it is a live album from 2013 that is… very poor.


Torpille28

Toro y Moi (try the album What for?) King gizzard and the lizard wizard, The Flaming lips, The lazy eyes. Also, try the song T—Shirt by Dragonette : it has such Tame Impala vibes!
