Into the Infernal
Regions of the Ancient Cult 🔥
Appalachian folk is probably my favorite comfy genre. My history professor gave me a stack of CDs containing very old recordings of Appalachian folk and they are exceptionally comfy (and surprisingly violent).
Comfy and violent. Makes sense!
Do you know Dock Boggs? He was an Appalachian banjo player. I love him so much. found out about it because in the film Julien donkey boy, Werner Herzogs character would dance to. Dock Boggs only wearing underwear and a world war gas mask and drinking cough syrup. Anyways dock boggs also vacillates from comfy to violent and somber.
If you don't know John Jacob Niles you gotta check him out
@@brightmooninthenight2111 Been learning banjo which led me to learning about Dock Boggs. Also a big fan of Matt Heckler who has an insanely good cover of his song Old Rub Alcohol Blues. I have a ton of respect for the history of Appalachian music.
you finally talked about Katatonia!! i've been waiting for this
to me their albums Discouraged Ones and Last Fair Deal Gone Down are more comforting to me
Your point on Alcest's structure of "aggressive" tone is why the band works: They capture the elements of black metal, but they have such a comforting shoegaze vibe that it just _works._
While Alcest's _Ecailles de Lune_ is considered THE comforting album of theirs, I tend to go for _Shelter_ , their full attempt with a post-rock/dream pop vibe. It just works as much as their content.
In terms for me...I'd say _Empty City_ by Tor Lundvall, a soothing dark ambient record that feels like someone walking through an abandoned, industrial city during a cold winter.
Tor's Beautiful Illusion album has been one of my favorites in recent years, he has some great stuff.
Alcest lost me after the first album but that was a long time ago, I should revisit it.
alcet has only one backgaze album: their debut lp, and only one shoegaze album: Shelter. The rest has nothing to do with shoegaze cmon
Agreed. Shelter is so good, why do people dislike it?
@@vishalnagaraj5343 some don't like it for being soft. In a former group of music nerds I interacted with,. One of them felt it was underwhelming, even calling it "adult complementary shoegaze".
I'm generally a black/death metal fan but what I usually find comforting is 90s jazz rap. Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Guru's Jazzmaster albums, and Pharcyde.
u should check out trip hop, there's similar roots
Happy to see Katatonia on the list, any of their albums from them honestly could’ve made it, Tonight’s Decision is definitely on the more depressing side of things I personally enjoyed Night Is The New Day it’s honestly an album I could listen to forever
Listen to Rain without end by October tide, they had many memebers from Katatonia and it is a truly incredbile album!
Its a good one, wish I could find an affordable copy!@@westernwarden8758
1) Celer - literally any album, for example "Xièxie" or "Discources of the Withered"
2) Shape of Despair - "Shades of..."
3) Katatonia - "Discouraged Ones"
4) Lurker of Chalice - "Tellurian Slaked Furnace"
It's always pleasing to see a record I hold in high regard mentioned, even more pleasing to learn of records I'm unaware of mentioned. I love this channel. So much music added to the rotation. I'm grateful.
Just as an add in and kind of an odd choice but the first 2 releases from Grandma's Cottage is super comforting and warming. Being that its labelled "Comfy Synth". You'll find many projects in this microgenre to be comforting but this really layed the foundation and showed how to make a genre like Dungeon Synth can be nostalgic but instead of thinking about castles and dragons and more to think about your younger days sitting at your grandmas waiting on her baked good's to be served.
Side note, but would love to know what you think of Red House Painters & Low and maybe other bands in the 90's Slowcore scene
Comfy synth is fantastic! Hole Dweller is a personal favourite
Super happy to see Alcest, fucking love them...unfortunately they got their van broken into at the end of this tour...
That was Sylvaine they are good friends of Alcest.
Neige just shared their post to help them.
@@manfredmar Ohh, my bad
Hosianna Mantra by Popol Vuh is one of the most comforting albums I know. It’s Ambient / New Age from the 70s that is close to Chamber Music.
The band’s previous Moog synthesizer music is also comforting in its own way.
So much of the music from this band could be selected for this topic.
One of those names I have known for years and have yet to really explore.
Great picks from the viewers. Kveldsanggar is something I've spun so many times to just relax to, the opening track alone is perfect for it. Also happy to see Nick Drake. Pink Moon was the first ever album I bought on vinyl back in 2015 back in this awesome lil record store/coffee shop in Florence, Italy. (My oldest brother bought Bauhaus - Mask)
A few albums that always send me drifting away into dreamland:
2814 - Birth of a New Day
Seminal dreampunk album, feels like you're in a high-rise apartment looking out on the city skyline at night with the quiet rush of city traffic below and the gentle night wind blowing through your open window.
Candy Claws - Ceres & Calypso In The Dreamtime
One of the best shoegaze albums of the 21st century. From the first track you feel like you're being lifted up in a hammock of fuzzy marshmallow clouds, swaying and drifting through waves of ethereal vocals and guitar fuzz. Absolutely sublime album.
Sweet Trip - Velocity.Design.Comfort
To me this is *the* comfort dream pop album. Beach House definitely deserves to hold a spot there as well, but there's something so enrapturing and relaxing about the sound Sweet Trip creates on this album. Atmospheric and dreaminess in spades. Hell of a great album cover too.
Ulver - Shadows of the Sun
I'm genuinely surprised this album wasn't brought up when Ulver was being talked about, it's a sleeper hit (pun not intended) in their discography, but no less deserving to be up there with Bergtatt and Kveldsanggar as its own form of pure relaxation, but instead of folk instrumentation, it's got more of a trip-hop vibe to it. Many are the days that I've fallen asleep listening to Eos and Like Music before I just conked out for the night.
Since I didn't get around to finishing the other video(about to now) and you still wanted some other recommendations, I've always found some post-rock to be pretty comforting. A lot of it has the bigger, grander feeling, but some of it I think really fits. But the one album that I really get with that is LIght Out Asia's Eyes Like Brontide.
Edit: Lol just went back to the other video, and you start talking about post-rock! Also, completely agree with your views on the genre, and it's why I essentially stopped following it as much. It felt like it started with a lot of experimentation, but then a lot of bands just fell into a very specific sound, and most don't venture as much out of it. But I also haven't really listened to anything new in the genre, so I'm not sure how it is now.
Didn’t expect Kaatayra to get mentioned here! Glad to see a little more recognition for that project. It gets called atmospheric black metal because it predominantly is, the acoustic albums are more akin to special treats. I think the albums with distortion aren’t quite as interesting, however if you enjoy Inpariquipê or So Quem then you’ll probably enjoy them too.
My pick would be my all-time favourite post-rock album: Caspian - Tertia
Hearing Katatonia be mentioned absolutely warms my heart. They're one of my favourite bands of all time.
Love the excruciate vinyl in the back
The Supporting Character by Emily Kinney is the first album that came to mind for me! Listened to it non stop when it came out! Absolutely love this album! Definitely check it out!
When you mentioned Ulver was a band every black metal fan should know i kinda felt ashamed i had not sooner from the first track you get so lost in this bliss. this video set of this series has been my favorite of yours especially mentioning slowdives when the sun hits is some of the most claming shit for me a person that constantly stresses especially in this moment thanks eveyone that reccomended also a few other ,mentions id have is georgle clanton/espirit ecoojams vol2 the godfather of vaporwave and kero kero bonitos that bubblegum happy upbeat pop and cutesy vocals makes me feel comforted like im in a childlike wonder of the world even with the reality of those liminal and sometimes dark moments anyways great vid
I'm a big Nick Cave fan, when I'm in a shitty mood, I always play, Dig! Lazarus! Dig!
Murder Ballads, No More Shall We Part and Let Love In are all time favorites. Ever hear Birthday Party? Weird chaotic shit.
@@patrickbertlein4626 yup
Will you make a video on the kinda acoustic neofolk/ darkfolk/Nordic prog folk?? Whatever that genere is I think it's pretty cool stuff like obviously kveldssanger but also vàli or thurnin
And great video as always
Pretty sure I made a video about albums to get into neofolk
@@wyattxhim i saw it and it's awesome, it helped me get into the genere but i feel like classic neofolk is very different to stuff like kveldssanger to the point that it feels like a different genere, ik that some sites say neofolk for the wiered industrial influenced stuff and dark folk for the acoustic stuff which makes more sense to me but then there are albums like the nature out there (banger BTW thanks for the suggestion) which are kinda a mix so idk maybe I'm tripping but still it would be awesome to see a video on the more acoustic neoflok/darkfolk or just folk content in general is cool
If you like Kveldssanger by Ulver, you need to check out Where at night the wood grouse plays by Empyrium! Amazing dark folk album.
I would still say that Electric Sea by Buckethead and The Tennessee Fire by My Morning Jacket are still very comfy albums for me. I would feel silly including my own work, but I hope it does bring comfort to others that is for sure!
I love the eternal return album from Windhand, very relaxing great voice and one of my favorite tracks diablerie. Also check out the s\t by Haunted. Its like occult rock and doom metal but with one of the greatest voices ive ever heard
African nishaiar is a bit similar to kaatayra, i recommend album nahaxar. Ive always loved early yumi zouma so ill be sure to check out these dream pop bands out
Depressive Silence Demo II or Lunar Womb (Ambient, Dungeon Synth)are very comfortable.
Kaatayra is one of the best black metal artists i've found, he's seriously a visionary.
I'm loving this topic, cause honestly a lot of these bands are favorites! Black metal is my preferred genre, but my favorite bands/artists are things like the Cure, Lycia, Damien Rice Nick Cave, Tori Amos, Smashing Pumpkins, the middle years of Ulver, Portishead, Mazzy Star, some stuff like Nothing and the Angelus. I always have ten or so extreme metal bands I am enjoying and one particular non-metal artist that is my favorite. Manes, Reutoff, Tor Lundvall, and recent releases of Anna Van Haussen are all on the list as well. Even metal adjacent but not exactly metal I would say early In the Woods, mid era Anathema, and mid era Tiamat are probably my all time favorite "metal" bands.
Anna Van Haussen = Anna von Hausswolff? Not trying to be annoying - I just wonder if I might have missed someone with a similar name since I like most of what you listed. 🙂
I’m late to this but here’s my pick. Dream Unending Song of Salvation. An atmospheric Doom / Death Metal album. Highly recommend this album if you haven’t checked it out
"Lending a shoulder for you to cry in" is such a great way to describe Pink Moon
I meant to comment on the last, but for me The Caretaker - An empty bliss beyond this World is the perfect comfy album. The fuzzy crackling really adds to the atmosphere.
TNT by Tortoise and Spiderland by Slint are the 2 most considering albums I know
I definitely recommend 3 others for you guys. Amiensus - Restoration, Wilderun - Veil of Imagination and Xanthochroid - Of Erthe and Axen Parts 1 & 2
I find City Of Caterpillar's self-titled to be very comforting as I return very often to it. The monotony of the not so distorted guitar riffs accompanied by histerical vocals calms me for some reason in approximately the same way that Katatonia does. It is probably the only scramz band which I personally enjoy.
d e s e r t s a n d f e e l s w a r m a t n i g h t 夢の滝
everything by desert sand is serene as hell
I find Dax Riggs solo material if you dig just a little can be really comfy. Bones of baby dolls, wither even Venus Blue but that is just me, could not work for everybody. Slowdive Everything is Alive also is quite smooth. I subscribed a few months ago great content to say the least..
Grouper makes me feel so good inside... Bless Liz Harris
love this channel
The most comforting music that I know is the one of Heilung. I suppose you know them already, but if that's not the case, you should listen to them. Especially their live album is worth checking out.
Love the profile pic
@@cagezero1 cheers mate, one of the best BM bands out there
Random recommendation: Check out GIdoen's Horn. Sounds like GBK.
pink moon is one of the best albums frfr
Nujabes - Modal Soul
I suggested his music last time. Totally comfy. Nostalgic to me now.
Glad slowdive souvlaki made it but can't believe minecraft sound track didn't
Low's Trust should be on here as should any William Basinski record.
Stars of the lid are excellent band
Autumn Aurora is the only Drudkh album I listen to nowadays, but it’s a great record!
Pink Moon is one of a kind.
What you been beating up Wyatt? I see a that hand!
In this thumbnail you give off some Neige vibes. I really don't know why🙃
Drudkh is sick! I'd just personally want a little bit of an asterisk around their name because while it's never fun to bring up the "political" side of black metal, Drudkh has had a bit of a history playing at NSBM shows and associating with those sorts of acts, as well as having questionable lyrical content and song titles related to Ukrainian nationalism. It sucks because they make great music but it's something a person should know going into the band. It's by no means the most intense, but it's significant enough to be worth considering if recommending the band
all these cozy certified
The Most Ahead of Their Time Albums that I know. PLS consider this my good sir.
SUGGESTIONS
WUMPSCUT - Bunkertor 7
Rudy is my homie and sure he's heavily inspired by Leaether Strip but still. This album is a milestone for cyber goth.
Three Six Mafia - Mystic Stylez
Travis Scott, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, most of trap and current trends in hip hop owe SOOOOO much to this one
Techno Animal - The Brotherhood of The Bomb
Like with 3 6, this did so much for industrial rap. Danny Brown, Lil Ugly Mane, B L A C K I E, clipping, jepgmafia, death grips, ect.
Mindless Self Indulgence - Frankenstein Girls
Black Dresses, 100 gecs, kfc murder chicks, ect many A FUCK ton of electronic bands are doing what Jimmy did. Despite him being a total piece of shit. I played this cd thousands of times in high school.
Mr. Bungle - Self Titled
Munky from KoRn has quoted this as a huge inspiration for their first album. Corey Taylor quotes faith no more being the band that got him into writing music. Whether Mike Patton (my jesus) likes it or not; the god invented nu metal.
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
What can I say that already hasn't been said? This album did so much for shoegaze it honestly hurts.
Black Sabbath - Self Titled
Dude. Fr. This album alone spawned a fuck ton of copy cats.
Those are just off the top of my head. Hope u see this and consider making a list yourself.
13:35 considering Kaatayra is brazilian this is probably not indonesian or somelian but a word originated from some native indigenous language from Brazil (specially from the way the word looks)
Yeah I forgot to mention he’s from Brazil other than saying it’s a form of Latin American folk music influence.
I stated it was a form of Indonesian//Somalian because of google translate
@@wyattxhim no problem! I guess this was more of a FYI than anything
Could also be that he's doing the "fictional language" thing à la Neige/Sigur Rós/Magma etc. and simply made it up himself. That would explain Google Translate giving nonsense answers (though for me it identifies it as Portuguese, which at least makes more sense).
I'd go for some Anneke van Giersbergen era of The Gathering, Anneke was massively influenced by Cocteau Twins though she has her own defined style, sample here. --> ua-cam.com/video/04vaC74qEM4/v-deo.html
Arvo Part's choral works and Eno & Fripp - Air Structures are also good.
sabe muito
Клёвая группа🤘🤘🎵🤘🤘🤘🎶🎶
Favourite non English language albums next Wyatt 😊
About Kaatayra's language, one of the channels who posted the album, the "Antifascist Black Metal Network", responded to a question in the comments about the lyrics. They said the language was totally created by Caio Lemos for the album and that the "lyrics" were made up thinking of how they would sound rather than what they should mean. I could not find any interview to confirm this, but seems legit. It does look inspired by Brazilian indigenous languages like Tupi or even african Yoruba (which is still utilized in some religions in Brazil), but since there is no available translation online, I guess it is really a made up language.
albert?
Honestly couldn't suggest / kekht arakh - a pale swordsman/ harder
anything by harold budd
Ulver - Perdition City
one of his albums of all time
Pretty sure Inparipiquê is not an Indonesian nor Somalian term. Seems like a word from Brazilian indigenous languages, I risk to say it's rooted on Tupi language.
not like cluster and eno no wyatt?
maybe that can be featured on the most tranquil albums you know
Have you been lifting weights lately?
tshirt id?
enbilulugugal
Is it only I who cant stand Alcest?
You never hear the same "Drudkh" pronuncation twice. That cover art is terrible too, gimme the original.
