Tibetan throat singing is some good shit.
Add a dash of DAW and it becomes an incredible fusion of old and new
i do like The Hu.
Started a YouTube Music ‘radio’ list based on Avenge Sevenfold’s ‘The Wicked End’ in the operating room a few weeks ago, and after a couple hours of the algorithm digging its own rabbit hole, it phased itself out of that kind of alternative rock in favor of The Hu and viking sea shanties and just weird shit leading to weirder shit.
Fuckin loved it. Doc wasn’t a fan; circulating nurse thought it was funny and refused to change it. 10/10.
I also work in an OR and Spotify does the same thing. We will just leave on something like 80s rock radio playing over night and when we come back the next morning we hear Snoop Dogg blasting from the same playlist lol
Wolf totem is balls to the wall amazing. Will change the mood of any room/car instantly for the good.
Wolf totem is one of my gym music!
They were supposed to open for Iron Maiden when I saw them last year but had equipment issues or something and couldn’t play :( I was looking forward to seeing them. Their music is sick.
I like Tengger Cavalry
Nine Treasures represent
Mongolian metal is wicked but the people on the train hate it
For a while I listened to techno combined with Mongolian throath singing, it was pretty good actually.
Otyken?
Ummet Ozcan is worth a listen
Both bangers
All my homies love the Hu.
Yuve yuve yu.
Came to make sure someone had mentioned The Hu
Introduced to them via Star Wars.
Better than country
Better than the “country” they play on the radio, without a doubt. That shit with lyrics like " I fucked my truck and my wife got mad. My dog wanted to join but we were banging her dad" all deserves the flush.
He’s definitely not a strictly country artist, but check out Lord Huron. Bag of Bones is a good starter. He wouldn’t be making the music he does if it wasn’t for the country artists that came before, and he’s pushing the genre in some real Modest Mousian directions in the best of ways
I love Lord Huron but I’ve always thought of him as folk rather than country, personally. Do you have any examples of country artists who’ve inspired him? I generally dislike country but I haven’t really given it a fair try and that sounds like a good place to start
Examples that I know inspired his music specifically? No can do, mate. I’m not big on country either, and I dont know the guy or follow interviews he’s done or anything like that. I just know that the music he makes reminds me of the music I’d here when frequenting redneck hotspots. Like, the deepwood living, liquor distilling, 6 broken down cars scattered through their inherited land having kinds. Not the ‘I wear john deere as a status symbol’ kinds. Old country about how fucked the government is and trying to wrestle with identity in a world that could care less how we feel or think. Woodie Guthrie comes to mind (also not explicitly country and leaning more folk, ik) but I know for certain they were playing a lot more than just that.
I was talking more about influence in the long division sense and agree that he definitely leans more folk. But also reasoned that folk and country (and bluegrass as well) all share their origins in what is now generally referred to broadly as “folk music”, and which evolved, largely but not entirely, from the lilting string tunes of the celtic cultures, with old Irish music probably having the most sway there. I know this much, but dont know specific artists to direct you toward as it’s just not my bag. Sorry lol
No worries, and definitely agree a lot of the vibes are shared between folk and country. Just feel like I should give country music a fair shot eventually because of how much I like folk, and “Lord Huron influences” sounded like the least likely to make me feel like I’m being waterboarded with used motor oil lmao
Haven’t talked to old boy in a long, long while, but I’ll ask for some recs if I can get ahold of his crazy ass. Chances are not high so don’t get your hopes up lol
If you’re just in the mood to try something different tho, I’d suggest Joe Ely. More south of the border folk than what we’ve been talking about, but he def dips (maybe dipped? not sure) his cup in that same omni-american stream of proto-proto-rock here and there. Any song off Letter to Loredo is somewhere between ‘hey, that’s pretty good’ and ‘yo this fuckin slaaaps’ imo
u havent actually listened to country then
Country was supplanted by stadium country like 20 years ago.
Hick Hop
That’s a low bar…
Mongolian, but it’s a vibe

E: touch some grass if a Spotify link triggers you
The Hu - cover of “The Trooper”
If Mongolian throat singing metal is your thing then there’s more good stuff from The Hu:
Oh, there is actually a band called “The Hu.” I thought glitchdx was joking.
They gain fame through memes like this mostly. They’re also pretty good actually.
Sugaan Essena (Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order)
For those who haven’t played it, they’re featured as an actual in-game band. They pop up a couple times, but here’s the intro:
If you must use Spotify, you could at least not link to it.
Just listen to some music and get over it
Ew nah fuck Spotify
Any more than YouTube? Google isn’t exactly a beacon of virtue
Thing is, you don’t need an account for YouTube to work. And if you use an adblocker, it’s actually pretty hassle free too.
EEEEOOOOOUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRREEEOOOUUUUIIIIIIRRRRRR
I do this to my kids:
GggggggeeettttYouuuurrrrShooooeesssOoooOOnnnn
I know, I know: “it’s a shitpost…” But there’s not a single type of music that sounds better at full blast. And if you inflict your music on others in public instead of using headphones, you’re an asshole.
If you use open backed headphones, you can enjoy your music at its best quality while also sharing it to other people sharing your bus. Win-win!
There’s a special place in hell for any person playing any sound loudly in public places. Recently there was some dude scrolling TikTok at full blast in the train. I’d rather have any form of continuous music over that distracting bombardment of random sounds.
In Ireland, we’ve recently introduced fines for that sort of thing.
Are they applied?
People do that shit in restaurants here, its so bad.
Classical music. Classical music sounds better at full blast. Anything with either organ or orchestra. Blast it.
I saw the London Symphony Orchestra play Holst’s The Planets at the Royal Albert Hall at the weekend. We were sat right up by the organ pipes, so when they started rumbling it was absolutely incredible.
10/10
i think we should go back to organ music only being played live on actual organs, which are audible in a 10km radius
Grunge sounds way better on full blast imo.
But yeah, people who use speakers in public are assholes.
Make it that trap beat Mongolian shit and Im down
Not to down Tibetan throat singing, because that shit is awesome, no shade to my girl, either, because she said she listen to all types, she didn’t say she liking all types. She hasn’t left the table!!
I posted this in another comment, but the remix is a must-listen if you haven’t heard it before.
I (not Indian) used to play Hindi film music on my stereo at college at top blast. It’s actually very listenable overall, but the women singing in falsetto can be hard to get used to – it is one of the most penetrating sounds on earth. Everybody on my floor hated the living shit out of me.
Mongolian throat singing is nothing.
Gotta whip out modern classical music.
I like studying to Penderecki myself.
Morf is a good way to introduce more mainstream-centric people to the sound of throat singing
That was a neat watch
Rolling through Diablo type dungeons or silent hill levels lmao
