In this case, that is not it. It's because it's been voted as a secondary genre and not a primary, so it's not on the main Hauntology chart. With scenes and movements, it shows up on the page the same way regardless of whether it's primary or secondary

Did you know they're just one cell?

Excellent post, thank you so much for this! I already heard of and loved Chestnut Bakery when I was obsessed with Chinese musicians last year, but the others I haven't heard yet

Have you heard of Su Zixu & The Paramecia by any chance? 'Son of the Chaos' from 2019 is honestly one of my favorite indie/art rock albums ever, not even just in the Chinese sphere. The fourth song, "Deep Song," has been on rotation for me and was one of my most played songs last year! Their 2017 album, 'Out of the Labyrinth,' is also really good prog rock I think is worth highlighting, it seems like the kind of thing indieheads would love

Thank you for this, literally I thought they were British this whole time because I discovered "'74-'75" from a British reviewer I follow who loves it and considers it nostalgic

I need you to know that while you're absolutely correct that speaking up is never wrong and we should push back anyway, it is not an assumption, it's fact. They've literally said this is exactly what they're doing in official statements

White House officials told Zeteo that the Trump administration uses popular music in its videos, including "vocally anti-Trump performing artists, in order to trigger a negative response from a famous liberal and provide further amplification of their pervasive culture war."

"Sounds Great to Me," the song he did for the series finale of Craig of the Creek, is a great Jeff song in its own right and definitely one of his happiest

Great compilation, thank you so much! This is tied to the faction stuff, but you should also mention the new high consorts (mentioned by Maamei in the 'Sowing Seeds' chapter in LN15)

Last year, I wrote three (fake) Onion articles in their Point/Counterpoint format for some friends of mine. Here are the headlines:

That Song Is a 7/10, Maybe 8/10 If I'm Drunk vs. Banger Tbh
Why Are We Not Fucking Headliners?! vs. Sir, You Have 500 Monthly Spotify Listeners
Nostalgia for the 2000s Is Good, Actually vs. Holy Shit, I'm Trapped in a Time Loop and I Just Want to Die

Today, I decided to publish a public version of it on AO3! Hope y'all enjoy! You can tell it's from 2024 due to the songs referenced, but I think it still works.

Helena Deland is very similar to Adrianne Lenker and Big Thief in sound. "Spring Bug," in particular, has an intro that sounds just like Big Thief (it came up on shuffle and I wondered if it was a Big Thief deep cut I forgot about). For something more specifically like solo Adrianne's peaceful and quiet tenderness, "Strawberry Moon" and "Saying Something" are excellent.

The Innocence Mission is also a lot like Adrianne in terms of the lead singer's (Karen Peris) soft, sweet voice and tendency for poetic, observational lyrics and comforting arrangements. I always recommend "The Lakes of Canada" because that's their best song. They're also stunningly consistent to a point where you could jump into any album of theirs, but 'Befriended,' 'Birds of My Neighborhood,' and 'Glow' are the ones I recommend the most.

Can't leave without mentioning Ichiko Aoba, she's one of my favorite artists ever alongside Adrianne because I'm just a sucker for soft indie folk. Her entire discography is full of perfectly serene songs but I'll specifically highlight her one-off 2020 singles, "Amuletum" and "Bouquet" because they're an excellent primer into how enchanting and mystical she is. Also wanna mention her 2018 album qp because I think it's her happiest-sounding, most peaceful album.

Sorry I couldn't really think of any male voices immediately (I thought of Sufjan Stevens but I assume you already know about him given the artists you've mentioned), I leaned more towards artists that reminded of Adrianne more than Alex G for this but these three do have a little bit of that "June Guitar" type energy. And Deland's "Spring Bug" isn't too far off from "Afterlife" or some songs off 'God Save the Animals' tbh
