Did you grow out of your "sad music" phase yet or are you still in your early 20s?
>>

I'm lonely and I listen to sad music.
>>
I still listen to sad music. It's just sad Aryan supremacist music now bevause I'm an an Aryan supremacist now.

I was never depressed or heartbroken when this was my favorite album.

now I'm depressed and heartbroken and all i listen to is new wave
>>
The production on this album is so crazy
>>
>>124462583
My sad music phase was during my mid teens. Kinda gay to still be so emotional in your 20s OP
>>
>>124462583
>>124462704
Why is the production for this so good? Initially it sounds lofi, but it actually has a much deeper sound than that
>>
>>124462770
I was too much of a contrarian in my teens to be emotional. Other teens being whiny cunts annoyed the shit out of me so instead I turned into an unemotional robot. So I didn't really listen to sad music until a bit later.
>>
>>124462807
recorded reel-to-reel. Lots of tape effects and experimenting with panning. Whole studio full of instruments.
>>
>>124462844
Must have been lightning in a bottle to get access to that kind of equipment
>>
>>124462820
I was just messing with you bitch. You didn't need to get all gay and start blogging. There's nothing wrong with being into this kind of music at any age
>>
>>124462885
it was the k records studio iirc. he was basically given unlimited access to it and recorded a few albums there.
>>
>>124462908
K records huh? No wonder it sounds the way it does, then. I heard nothing but bad things about that studio from Isaac Brock, but the absolute level of quality they put out in the late 90s to early 2000s is incredible
>>
>>124462583
I listen to sad non mainstream country music
The true sad music
>>
>>124462807
phil is a studio wizard
my hot take is that he's a producer brute forcing his way into being a musician, because he's a very good producer making a lot of very boring music sometimes
>>
>>124463006
disagree with his own music being boring, but otherwise this is a decent take. I wish he'd produce other artists more often. Here's a good example of how well it works when produces a more conventional songwriter

>>124462973
Do you have any recs? It's hard to top any of Hank's stuff.
>>
>>124462583
It depends. Anything by phil elverum is way too innocent softboi uwu. Makes me sick. But im 25 and i still listen to DSBM.
>>
>>124462583
I still listen to sad music but I also like bands which don't solely make sad music

Type O Negative is great for this because two songs from the same album can be
>serious song about being stuck in life and extremely depressed
>hilarious, edgy song about making fun of fags and fucking girls
>>
>>124462583
No
I'm mid 30s
>>
>>124462583
I'm in my
>I just wanna grill with my friends
phase
>>
>>124462583
This shit ain't all sad,

A lot of it's just beautiful.

Later Phil after the Microphones title seemed to get sadder, actually.

Since his wife died.

But I feel like this album captures a kind of wonder at the mundane.

That's why I love it so much.

Still do.

Mid 20s.
>>
>>124465349
Wanted to add to this that I saw Phil perform A Crow Looked at Me live,

in freshman year of college. 2017 or so.

I loved it so much live.

I don't like to listen to the album.

I feel like that one experience of the album live was enough.

Maybe I'll revisit it someday.

But the performance was special.

why are you typing like this

it makes your posts read like poetry

and they don't even rhyme
>>
>>124465024
based
>>
>>124465721
I can actually rhyme too if you want.

Fuck France.
Fuck France So Hard I Piss My Pants.
Piss My Pants, Fucking Fucking France.
I Piss My Pants So Hard, When I Fucking Fuck France,

That Even France Can Piss My Pants.

Short answer to your question is that I'm fucking nuts.

I'll always be that way.

I don't mind too much anymore.

I was only pretending not to be nuts when I typed "normally."

I do think the spacing improves readability sometimes.

Shut up, worthless topics and threads
>>
>>124462583
The smug aura of OP mocks me.
>>
Purple Mountains is the best sad music album of all time. Also hardly consider glow pt 2 to be a "sad" album
>>
>>124462844
>>124463006
Glow and mount eerie album sound amazing production wise but he hasn't come close to that since what happened
>>
>>124465918
>>124462583
I think two things are true here:

yeah the OP was kind of smug.
but the thread isn't actually worthless if it turns into a decent discussion.

Which does mean we've gotta recognize OP is smug.

Basically putting down people for liking music they probably just don't get!
>>
>>124463006
I think he's a songwriter who includes the production as a component in his song writing.

It only seems lo-fi. It's carefully crafted, for listener effect. :)
>>
The same music I liked when I was 13 still gets cycled through. 15 years later and I add new albums and artists every year but never lose what you loved in the past. Course it's easy when you always had good taste cause I never fell for rap/electronic/death metal fads

I grew out of listening to sad music because I wanna feel sad, and grew into listening to sad music because some of it is really moody and cool sounding
>>
>>124466012
You should listen to Gorguts, Obscura.

personal favorite death metal album.

There's nothing else like it,

so it's not a fad.

I promise!
>>
>>124462583
I don't think The Glow Pt. 2 is a particularly sad album. But to answer your question, yes, I grew out of listening to juvenile, shallow "sad" albums. I still listen to sad music that more accurately reflects my life and experiences.
>>
>>124462583
idk but i really like this scan of the album cover the colors looks really nice
>>
I still listen to sad music but I never liked The Microphones at all

i love this album but i still can't get over that earrape at the last minute of i want wind to blow, goddammit why is it there
>>
>>124462583
It comes and goes in phases, just like sadness itself. Though i don't get proper sad very often, just bouts of melancholia. 28 btw.
>>
i wish i could say i’m joking but i recently started getting really really into soft rock.

i’m 41. let this be a warning to you youngins you’re going to one day voluntarily listen to things like “over and over” by fleetwood mac and love it.
>>
>>124462583
Reminder that no one should be “growing out of” certain emotionally-tinged music, if you’re a well-rounded person you should want to listen to music that reflects the full range of human experience. If you think listening to sad music is juvenile, then you’re probably a severely repressed or emotionally immature dumbfuck.
>>
>or are you still in your early 20s?

I still remember the day I was 13 and thought
>man this shit is so gay, I want POWER!!!
I was, and am still too based for sad music
>>
>>124470205
>I still remember the day I was 13
No shit, it was only yesterday.
>>
>>124470205
>based
Im starting to think based means retarded monkeybrain nigger incapable of emotions more complex then angry and horny
>>
>>124465330
Yea once someone starts talking about simple pleasures in life thats how you know its all over for them
>>
>>124465862
I hate you. Positive for no reason head ahh faggot.
