[Closed] what music do you like that not many people may have heard of?

Chap Hop is where it's at now.

hey raceface

check out karnivool, periphery, no consequence (shameless self plug there), tesseract

Careless Whisper - George Michaels. It was a minor hit back in the early eighties indie smooch dance scene

Marit Larson - Norwegian singer songwriter - very nice pop music

clowncore

Tito la Rosa is one of Peru's most famous musicians. Absolutely beautiful spiritual music, in quite a few different styles and he has recorded albums with many different musicians. I do not think he is that well known outside of Peru, apart from people like myself who are into that kind of thing. I really feel he should have far more recognition than he has.

Brill band from Southampton.....

Saw these in a local bar recently and was most impressed.

From Bridgend, Wales and some cracking lyrics. Sort of folky rock so not my usual thing but the quality of the music shone through.

In the interests of eclecticism, how about Ryan Bingham? Gritty country music of the Red Dirt variety (as opposed to the Dolly Parton/ sequins type) - shades of stripped-back Springsteen and echoes of Bob Dylan.

Neutral milk hotel; amazing band! Although I've since found they are quite popular with indie nerds-DAMMIT.

Captain Beefheart; many know of him but don't necessarily know the intricate wonders of his work.

I stumbled across No Age and Surfer Blood on lastfm.com, more fun tuneage.

Living in Brighton can be a bit of an obscurity competition!

A couple of things that relate to being out in the mountains:

[url= http://www.archive.org/details/apl036 ]Emil Klotzsch - Tiefe Berge[/url] a German sound designer for film who travelled through the Highlands making field recordings which he then processed in the studio to make this wonderful ambient album. Download it for free from that link. I've not looked him up for while but just seen that since that album was produced he's produced something similar from a forest in Germany.

The master of field recording is Chris Watson. He records sound for nature documentaries but also produces of field recordings which are structured into albums. [url= http://boomkat.com/cds/124981-chris-watson-cima-verde ]Cima Verde[/url] is made from sounds around a mountain, a progression from 3000m to the valley floor. Okay, it's stretching the definition of music beyond it's elasticity for many people. It's more audio art.

Do I win the award for champion of the obscure?

You have to check out sweatmaster

Also skylarkin and the joy formidable

+2 Godspeed You Black Emperor

Stumbled across this guy a couple of years ago.

Wow! - Creaming Jesus. There's a blast from the past. Saw them quite a few times. Awesome band. Any band that had a t shirt that said "skin up for jesus" on it was ok by me 🙂

Seen the brilliant Wig a Wag at the Festival Interceltique de Lorient a couple of times now, great live band, especially helped by gorgeous girls walking around handing out free shots of Paddy's whiskey 😀

i think they are fairly unknown, i like Sucioperro.

I luv DCFC. Kath is one of my favourite songs of all time. There's some bizarro chord shapes in that song!!

I'll suggest Grouper for lushed out hypnotic loveliness. Also Warpaint are doing it for me at the minute

Quasimoto is a great shout.

Similarly MF DOOM, aka Madvillain, aka DangerDoom, aka King Geedorah, aka Viktor Vaughn. Great artist.

Mental.

Curved Air.

I think this is what's known as Prog Rock. Whatever it's called,it's good stuff.

If you like primal, hard as nails sounding rock, these guys cannot be beaten

Turn it up!!!

it's got to be viking moses for me.

he was meant to be starting a uk tour right about now but things went wrong, apparently...

shpongle

That's weird, I just saw shpongle suggested while listening to this
