1	Everything I Long For (1996) more music like this by Hayden Solitary, rootsy post-punk of the best kind, delving into somewhat dark and twisted terrrain, but invested with a lot of passion and unflinching grit. The sparse and haunting arrangements put acoustic guitars at the forefront, but vary the pace with occasional searing licks, eerie solo piano, and harmony vocals. It's one of the relatively few ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.94!
2	The Blue Moods of Spain (1995) more music like this by Spain see all copies from $2.13! new only from $11.21!
3	Drums and Guns (2007) more music like this by Low A stark retreat from the relatively sunny sound of The Great Destroyer, Drums and Guns is, as its title suggests, inspired by the war in Iraq. True to the spirit of Low's other work, the outrage and regret expressed by these songs is just as timeless as it is timely, lamenting that war still exists as much as it addresses this particular war. And, ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $10.99!
4	Conductor (2004) more music like this by The Comas Voted one of the best 2004 albums you didn't hear from both Spin and Rolling Stone, the third release from this Chapel Hill, NC, combo revels in its gloomy indie pop roots. Fuzzed-out guitars mesh with soaring, edgy melodies on a song cycle exploring the collapsed relationship between Comas auteur Andy Herod and TV star Michelle Williams. But you ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.56!
5	I Believe (2001) more music like this by Spain With the 2001 release of I Believe, Josh Haden's Spain increased from a trio to a four piece, adding guitarist/keyboardist Shon Sullivan and new drummer Will Hughes (replacing the sorely missed Joey Waronker). The sound has expanded too, sounding fuller and more open, compared to the band's previous intimate, almost cradling sound. Humming organ ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.00!
6	Secret Name (1999) more music like this by Low Secret Name is unadulterated lo-fi/sadcore, semi-orchestrated pop/rock par excellence. The power trio is augmented by a string section, tympani, and piano on this beautifully understated chamber pop outing by a misunderstood Midwestern band. Mimi Parker's voice is stunning on "Weight of Water," which at times sounds like it might take flight, but ... see all copies from $12.82! new only from $12.82!
7	You Can't Win (2007) more music like this by Dolorean You Can't Win is a slow drive through the kind of America that feels as wrung out and worn through as a pair of old sneakers. It's the kind of terrain traversed by other introspective, rustic, youngish men like Jeff Tweedy, Joe Purdy, and (to an extent) Will Oldham -- the kind of place you go if you're looking for empty stretches of pavement and ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.63!
8	Two Conversations (2003) more music like this by The Appleseed Cast Appleseed Cast's first full-length collection of new material since the stylistic shift of the Low Level Owl albums (and its first for the N.Y.C. indie Tiger Style) finds the Lawrence, KS-based quintet tightening the screws on its newfound experimentalism a little bit, and jettisoning whatever stocks of emo-ness were still bouncing around in the ... see all copies from $9.67! new only from $9.67!
9	Pure Phase (1995) more music like this by Spiritualized Electric Mainline Spiritualized's eagerly awaited second album continues the group's ethereal tradition, this time with a loopier, more symphonic sound. Many of the songs swell past the six-minute mark, ebbing and flowing majestically. "Medication," "Electric Phase," "Lay Back in the Sun," and "Spread Your Wings" typify the dreamy grandeur of most of the album. ... see all copies from $9.50! new only from $19.19!
10	What Fun Life Was (1994) more music like this by Bedhead It didn't seem like it at the time, but with the appearance of this, Bedhead's debut, and Low's own first album some months later, the zeitgeist of post-grunge indie rock started to shift toward something more reflective and restrained. Not that WhatFunLifeWas doesn't steer clear of loud moments, to be sure; many of the songs use swelling ... see all copies from $8.74! new only from $12.56!
11 view cover	Trust (2002) more music like this by Low As the follow-up to Low's universally acclaimed Things We Lost in The Fire, Trust comes with a set of expectations that might be impossible to meet. To the band's credit, Low doesn't just rehash the territory they covered on their previous album; instead, Trust goes in several different directions, mixing dark, sweeping epics with smaller, ... see all copies from $10.48! new only from $10.48!
12 view cover	The Earth Is Blue (2005) more music like this by Damon & Naomi Damon & Naomi's sixth album, The Earth Is Blue, is their first for the duo's newly formed label, 20/20/20. The move away from Sub Pop didn't have any effect on their sound, though; the album is as lovely and inspired as any of their last few, beginning with 1998's Playback Singers. They manage the balance of art and emotion like few other bands, ... see all copies from $12.38! new only from $12.38!
13 view cover	I Could Live in Hope (1994) more music like this by Low Like so many of their contemporaries, Low are repeatedly lumped into numerous derivative and nondescript headings intended to encompass slow-paced, instrument-driven music that maintains an indie aesthetic. Quite simply, no category can truly reveal the beauty and glory of Low's debut record I Could Live in Hope. Sad core? Not even close! I Could ... see all copies from $13.59! new only from $13.59!
14 view cover	Everclear (1991) more music like this by American Music Club Put simply, Everclear is American Music Club's masterpiece. Benefiting immensely from improved production values, the album crystallizes the band's often erratic vision into a unified, endlessly complex whole. While the arrangements are typically diffuse -- "Crabwalk" is shambling rockabilly, "Royal Cafe" is sweet country-pop, and "Rise" is ... see all copies from $7.06! new only from $15.34!
15 view cover	Transaction de Novo (1998) more music like this by Bedhead Bedhead was a quintessential indie rock band. What distinguished the group, however, was the way it combined the genre's modest ambitions with careful song construction and rock & roll's sense of grand dynamic excitement. There are no complex structures, highly expressive vocalists, or thrilling improvisations on a Bedhead album, but there is the ... see all copies from $5.67! new only from $13.25!
16 view cover	Things We Lost in the Fire (2001) more music like this by Low Over the course of their career, Low's glacially beautiful music has gradually melted into something much more accessible and intimate. The thaw culminates on Things We Lost in the Fire; despite its brooding title, it's the group's loveliest, most approachable collection of songs yet. Voluptuous strings, softly fuzzy guitars, and propulsive ... see all copies from $12.51! new only from $12.51!
17 view cover	Offshore (2006) more music like this by Early Day Miners While the Early Day Miners' song "Offshore," from the 2002 album Let Us Garlands Bring, is an eight-minute piece, sad and slow and contemplative, a brief look into the melancholy of life, their album Offshore is the continuous six-song immersion into longing and solitude and desire, something like an Eno soundscape (though there are vocal tracks ... see all copies from $13.25! new only from $13.25!
18 view cover	On Fire [Bonus Tracks] (1997) more music like this by Galaxie 500 Having already made a fine account of themselves on Today, the three members of Galaxie 500 got even better with On Fire, recording another lovely classic of late '80s rock. As with all the band's work, Kramer once again handles the production, the perfect person to bring out Galaxie 500's particular approach. The combination of his continued use ... see all copies from $10.70! new only from $10.70!
19 view cover	The Curtain Hits the Cast (1996) more music like this by Low The Curtain Hits the Cast was Low's first "major" album, taking the indie buzz over their early work to a much larger audience. The band didn't lose anything in the process -- the album shows them still firmly entrenched in the epic, slow, lazy dirges that got them started. The only noticeable changes come in the form of more elaborate production ... see all copies from $13.59! new only from $13.59!
20 view cover	Black Earth (2004) more music like this by Bohren & der Club of Gore Germany's Bohren & der Club of Gore are a black metal fan's lounge jazz act. Or, for those driven by the more extreme side of noir-ish ambient material, these cats lay it out with musical instruments (and a Mellotron), painfully slow and muted tempos, and a relentlessly gloomy atmosphere worthy of the first Black Sabbath album. Originally issued ... see all copies from $15.19! new only from $15.19!
21 view cover	Gimme Danger/Gimme Sweetness (2004) more music like this by Tiger Saw Tiger Saw's Gimme Danger/Gimme Sweetness continues on the same dreamy path as their previous record, Blessed Are the Trials We Will Find, but at a slower rate. As has been probably stated many times before, Tiger Saw share a lot in common with such slowcore bands as Low, Ida, and the For Carnation. Gimme Danger/Gimme Sweetness is probably offering ... see all copies from $2.60! new only from $14.85!
22 view cover	Peel Sessions (2005) more music like this by Galaxie 500 The amazing thing about Galaxie 500, as evidenced by the many covers featured on their excellent Uncollected disc and the box set, is their ability to take a song, cover it, and make it into something uniquely their own, sounding as if the song emanated from the minds of the group themselves. Capturing their October, 1989 and November, 1990 Peel ... see all copies from $8.92! new only from $8.92!
23 view cover	The Closer I Get (1998) more music like this by Hayden The Closer I Get is quite similar to Hayden's debut, Everything I Long For, in almost every sense. Its hushed, spare arrangements, largely built around acoustic guitars, will be familiar to anyone who heard the first record, as will his declarative vocals and simple prose. Even if The Closer I Get is simply more of the same, Hayden does his lo-fi ... see all copies from $1.99!
24 view cover	And the Surrounding Mountains (2002) more music like this by Radar Bros. On the Radar Bros.' third release, And the Surrounding Mountains, the Los Angeles trio -- Jim Putnam (vocals/guitar), Steve Goodfriend (drums), and Senon Gaius Williams (bass) -- retains the guitar-strummed slow dirges that earned the band a slowcore tag. But And the Surrounding Mountains is a stunning collection of songs that build on that ... see all copies from $3.33! new only from $10.95!
25 view cover	Mind and Mother (2004) more music like this by Burd Early For those seeking an album to accompany those long, late-night drives, Mind and Mother -- Burd Early's musical journey toward inner peace -- is a good choice. But his emotional destination isn't easily reached, as the sparsely played, beat-sturdy "How Far" mines thoughts like, "There's a silence happening underneath all the acting." Elsewhere, the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
