You'll LOVE Trick Flower. Especially their album Never/Always. They use some modern genres buts it's still a guitar band first. Eclectic like the Beatles, well arranged like The Beach Boys, raw and honest like Lou Reed. Concept album that tells a whole story so listen to the whole thing because it's worth it 100 percent.
I play guitar and write in my own band but ive noticed everyone and their mother needs/wants a bassist or drummer. I'm just starting to learn to play both but I want to play with others to get better. if anyone needs someone who can keep a beat or plunk that bass I'm your guy.
They are a super interesting band that mixes genres but has the ethos of a 60s band. I'm just wondering why they arent more popular over other guitar bands that just do simple song structures or way too technical guitar bands. there has to be a middle ground and I think they hit it nicely.
Let me give you an example:
Theres this band, Trick Flower who did an album called "Never/Always". its multi-genre, good song structures, tells two opposite stories on the same theme but the musical themes and some progressions are littered throughout each side, the story can be listened to starting from either side and looped over to the other one. They still use guitars but it isn't just basic guitar rock its really well thought out and has multiple genres from reggaeton to Soul to Punk but it's still all indie music somehow. can anyone recommend an album as eclectic and well written as this?
I NEED SOME RECOMMENDATIONS FOR OBSCURE CONCEPT ALBUMS
Here's an example:
Trick Flower - Never/Always
(multi-genre, good song structures, tells two opposite stories on the same theme but the musical themes and some progressions are litters throughout each side, the story can be listened to starting from either side and looped over to the other one)
I realize this isn't a list of the "best" concept albums, just a wide breadth of ones less talked about. PLEASE put your own obscure or underrated concept albums in the comments. Ones with stories preferred not just a general theme. Obscure, nothing by major bands.
There is a vintera 3 sweet water ad with a guitar player whose wearing glasses with a glasses chain a black beanie and has a mustache hes got a black outfit with a white shirt and a tie and hes playing a riff I cant get out of my head. does anyone know who this guy is?
