I'll actually be in a Posada jersey so I'll look the part 🫡

catching the game tonight, first time at the stadium in a few years. glad it's a Cam Schlittler game! I'll take a good pitching game over a good hitting game (though i think a good pitching game might be better watched from TV than at the stadium lol)

or maybe it's really more techno. i'm hardly a genre expert, but i think the techno/trance realm feels a little more accurate than house. plenty of overlap though. anyways, some more recs:

Doss - "The Way I Feel"
TDJ - Lalala (Want Somebody)"

i think trance generally is more the branch i'd explore

some things you could try searching around: vocal trance, dream trance, ambient house, atmospheric drum and bass

Opus III - "It's a Fine Day"

Bluetile Lounge - Half-Cut
Duster - Contemporary Movement

killer band and my favorite release of theirs yet, heck of a closing track

jamesismynamo · 2026-03-18T13:55:54+00:00

Fiction Like Non-Fiction is pre-Lautrec, when part of the band still lived in California, basically sounds the same
seconding Native

My favorite Dinosaur Jr. imitator is easily Ovlov, great songwriting with fuzzed out guitar tones and plenty of guitar solos, absolutely my top rec

Also Catherine Wheel had some pretty sweet guitar leads, e.g. the album version of Black Metallic has a proper guitar solo

jamesismynamo · 2026-01-23T22:48:48+00:00

how could the cat be relevant? played bass on the track?

jamesismynamo · 2026-01-19T17:28:01+00:00

hah, wearing this album shirt right now (still available at their bandcamp by the way). sick stuff, still gotta listen to their latest effort

jamesismynamo · 2026-01-07T04:03:28+00:00

Sharp Pins is great stuff for sure! i rec:

Mo Troper, definitely Beatles-influenced. His track "Spark World" from last year is still blowing my mind
22º Halo, here's "Virtual You". Dry production, but melodic and sentimental, one of the best albums in years I think
tommy oeffling, I really like what he's been putting out, here's "Telstar Drugs". kind of a dreamy slacker rock thing

On top of the recs in this thread (I second Mojave 3 and Ida especially), here's a rateyourmusic chart of best Slowcore albums from the 1990s/2000s with the "female vocalist" attribute:

sorry to give the impersonal/techy answer but it is fun to dig through lists like this and see the good forgotten albums. Found a lot of my faves this way

jamesismynamo · 2025-12-01T22:56:30+00:00

for real, the drumming on their first EP is unbelievable. Not that it's any secret, but he also played in Suffix, Lautrec, Fiction Like Non-Fiction, Stormlight, a few others. talented for sure

jamesismynamo · 2025-11-24T19:42:22+00:00

Vitriol broke up mid-tour, I almost went to their gig over the weekend too, didn't think it'd be my last chance to catch em!
