Okay, so I am constantly being asked by people for new music and/or recommendations. So, I think it’s about time I’ve dedicated a post to it. I will also link this on my page in case I end up adding to it later.

I’ll sort them by genre for easy picking. Looking for new music? Whatever, I write here, seriously give them a shot.

Instrumental/Contemporary/Electronic:

• Explosions In The Sky - They’re a rock band without lyrics. Almost all of their songs are over 5 minutes long. 
• M83 - I could listen to them forever. They are very different from everything else in this category.
• Sigur Rós - I get the shivers every time I listen to them.
• Ludovico Einaudi - He’s Italian. He’s classical. What more could you ask for? Every one of his songs are beautiful. Some feature a vocalist.
• The Cinematic Orchestra - They are what they are called, an orchestra. Some of their songs also feature a vocalist.

Indie/Indie Rock/Indie Pop/Folk

• Seqouyah Prep School - My little brother introduced me to them almost 4 years ago. I don’t think they appreciated/known by enough people. Their southern acoustic sound melts my heart. 
• Margot and The Nuclear So & So’s - There are 6 people in this band. 6 reasons to love them. 
• Makeshift Lullaby - This band is virtually unknown. I am their top listener on Last.fm. Everything they sing is so beautiful. Anything acoustic wins my heart instantly and, they are 100%. *sigh*
• Amandine - One of my most cherished bands. In combination with their violinist, everything they do is beautiful.
• Ray LaMontagne - His voice is so beautiful. Majestic, I tell you. Lol.
• Act As If - I haven’t been listening to them for long but, as soon as I heard them, I fell in love.
• As Tall As Lions - The singer’s voice 
• The xx - They are completely different. And, that’s a awesome thing.
• Elliot Smith - His music is beautiful. The only sad thing is that he committed suicide a few years back.

Alternative/Alternative Rock

• VAST - Another one of my favorites. Their acoustic/ambient sound makes me shiver every time I listen. Some of the songs are so depressing, I love it.
• Susie Suh - Oh my gosh, her voice.
• Bloc Party - I dare you to listen to them and not dance in your seat.
• TV On The Radio - The same thing goes with this band. They never fail to make me dance.

Techo/Progressive House

• Deadmau5 - What’s more awesome than a DJ’ing mouse? lol
• Tiësto - His remixes are just way too amazing.

Rock

• Chevelle
• A Perfect Circle
• Red

All three of these bands are ones you need to listen to right now if you don’t already. And, that is an order.

There you have it. I have way too much music, of almost any genre so, I am going to stop there. I tried to list some bands I thought many of you may have never even listened to. If you have any questions or comments, ~come to me. lol
