I know it’s only been 2 years since PSoM and they are on tour for this year, but what do you think their next album will be like? Paradise State of Mind leaned into the 70s, and I think they would absolutely kill an 80s style album. But I digress what would you like to see Foster the People do in the future?
The second one I made around the time they were hyping and promoting Paradise State of Mind
I'm trying to find some new music recommendations, and to give you a clear picture, I'm really into a specific type of cinematic, dark alternative storytelling and heavy, atmospheric electronica.
Basically, I love tracks that have an immense amount of tension, grit, and incredible storytelling or deep metaphors. The huge catch for me is that the vocals must be high-fidelity and perfectly clear. I want to actually understand every single word being said.
Because of that, I have some massive dealbreakers. I absolutely hate death metal, heavy metal, or any kind of music with guttural screaming and harsh growls where you have to look up the lyrics just to understand what the hell is happening. I’m also not into drill rap, heavy mumble trap, or the stuff artists like $uicideboy$ do if the vocals are buried in triplet high-hats, slurred delivery, or intense auto-tune, it’s completely out.
To give you an idea of the lanes I like, I really love high-tension audio-cinema tracks like:
NF's - "STORY"
Eminem's - "Darkness"
The Lab Rats - "Devil's Train"
I also listen to a lot of dark, industrial electronic stuff that handles heavy personal themes, like:
MISSIO's - "Bottom Of The Deep Blue Sea" or "Vagabond",
8 Graves tracks like "Hang" or "Better Off Dead".
On the more organic side of things, I love that gritty, swaggering delta blues and rock vibe you get from
Blues Saraceno's - "The River" or "The Devil You Know".
And if it goes completely instrumental, I like heavy, brutalist cyberpunk scores like
Daniel Deluxe's - "Darkness" or “Infiltrator”
If you know of any artists or specific songs that fit into that gritty, clear, cinematic alternative lane without crossing into screaming metal or mumble/drill rap, I'd love to hear them!
Give me some recommendations based on my current favorites below, and I'll reply to your comment rating them using this scale!
The Lab Rats - Devil’s Train
Eminem’s - Darkness
8 Graves - Numb
8 Graves - Bury Me Low
8 Graves - Your Future
8 Graves - Better Off Dead
Diggy Graves - The Grim Weeper
Diggy Graves - Red Vineyard
NF - Story
Missio - Everybody Gets High
These are the types of songs I have really been getting into lately not a guideline but I really am not a fan of death metal and heavy metal really but if you think you have one that will change my mind go ahead and try.
A drawing I made in procreate
The last one is a WIP on re-illustrating my drawing taking everything I’ve learned over the years the pencil sketches were done sometime around 2018 and scanned digitally.
I know I posted an earlier concept, but I have since removed it in favor of this new clip compilation. The instrumental and singing were done by myself—I hope you enjoy it!
Clips are credited to Glitch Productions, Gooseworx, and all of the talented animators.
It is also on YouTube I have dubbed this project Sad Caine and I hope you enjoy.

❌ Why Did I even Participate
I’m working on a project that I was inspired to do by the last episode and wanted to get some opinions from people who have seen the last episode already it’s a mashup of TADC theme song and Sad Machine I wanted to make in honor of Caines return I don’t wanna share this to the regular forums until it’s released on YouTube
Made in Korg Gadget 3 and Mastered with vocals in GarageBand
Now I know Regular Show is full of inconsistencies like Muscle Man’s trailer never Looking the same in different shots and the parks layout changing but High-Fives brother going from someone bailed out of jail to a police officer is annoying to me and I don’t know why.
