Ensemble post-rock for the apocalypse.

Beautifully arranged ambient/instrumental folk covers of American Civil War-era folk songs. When I first started living on my own I'd play this album on repeat because it was so comforting.

Dense, savage, brilliant screamo with progressive instrumentation, genuine funk influence, and an organ.

As cool and smooth as jazz gets. Perfect lineup with some nice blues influence.

Legendary Ethiopian jazz. Smooth, organ-heavy, hypnotic. Branches into a proto form of instrumental hip-hop on ocassion. This recording was nearly lost forever but was just managed to be saved, cleaned up, and released.

Hammock's trilogy of Mysterium, Universalis, and Silencia is probably my favorite ambient music. Sweeping, warm, lush, full of life and health and peace. Silencia is my most listened-to of the three and possibly my most listened-to album of all time, despite its coming out only in 2019. I listen to it so much and so often it's already embedded itself into my DNA.

Ridiculously catchy maximalist bubblegum electropop. There's a lot of depth beneath the sugary aesthetics. And the production is just so detailed and fascinating and made with so much love. The kind of album you need to listen to with good headphones to catch all the details.

Gritty '90s east coast boom bap done perfectly. Simple, hard-hitting, and timeless.

Warm and soft dream/ambient pop with wonderful indietronica production. The whole thing is so melodic and cozy and comforting.

Minimal new-age ambient keyboards. Soft, sweet, and melodic.
