In case you missed it!

I wonder if this will ever appear on Spotify

It the opener to brazilian legend's second album : Novos Baianos. The whole album is packed with crazy melodies and rhythms that remind me a lot of what the strokes would eventually do. Though the strokes are much still more simpler, you can feel it sometimes. 

If you like this, listen to the whole album but before you do that, listen to 'Misterio do Planeta' it their 'Human Sadness’

'Misterio do Planeta' (this is a live version, the album version is way more pristine)

Is it just me? Thank you

big time voidz, strokes and anything strokes/julian adjacents fan. i’ve found myself getting more and more immersed into the music. for example, i love to compare how the music sounds in my car vs. my wife’s car vs. headphones etc. suffice to say i’m absolutely obsessed, i’ve never had a band that i’ve found where i enjoy every single song like these guys, and they just scratch a certain itch. i’m curious what other bands you guys like to listen to because i found myself in a bit of a music echo chamber where i only listen to the same groups. some of my genre interests are rock (60’s and 70’s like david bowie or the beatles or rolling stones ; some 80’s but mostly 90’s rock, grunge, and nu-metal, and 00’s) i also enjoy electronic and and some pop. would love some recommendations for absolute bangers of bands that you guys would also suggest, as i’d love to expand my music horizons, listen to more bands, and see more live shows. music is so diluted nowadays, ask anyone what they’re listening to and unless it’s mainstream, i feel like no one has heard of it. when in the mood to discover new music, i’ll tune to member funded radio releasing new undiscovered artists, but in my area, only one station plays indie rock and folk so songs for me are a hit or miss. ask me what music i want to listen to and i’ll say anything except country or rap. any input is welcome and greatly appreciated, would love to hear what you guys think!

EDIT: Wow, i’m astonished, i really didn’t think this post would have gotten this many responses. i just wanted to say thank you to everyone for their input and suggestions. looks like i have lots of research and listening to do! also for those who asked if im looking for music similar to the voidz, the answer is yes and no. the voidz are incredibly unique, with so many different genre-blending, rule-bending styles. the reason i came to love the voidz is because of how they’ve shown me to listen to music differently, i no longer search for a catchy earworm, but look for the slow burn, something that takes longer to appreciate and even longer to find the minute details that give the songs such magic. work was put in to enjoy the music and it’s that much more rewarding because of it, and that’s the feeling that im chasing.

please feel free to continue to suggest artists and, specifically albums of where to start or standout albums with these bands. thank you all again so, so much, and i hope you all take each other’s recommendations so we can all learn to share and love new music together!

I took a test once then my phone rang and my ringtone was unholy lover and everyone laughed at me afterwards and now i cant listen to unholy lover without brining back that terrible memory

Anyone else? It sounds like the soundtrack for a weird dark arcade game. Put your quarter in and Overture starts, you fight the invisible war, then there's the game over screen with Walk Off playing. Continue?

Good shit. It doesnt deserve the hate it gets. ​

I may be hallucinating but i think I remember there was a version of the song with a slight variation of the part at 2:38. Does anyone else remember or am I just misremembering?

I just realized that the bassline isn't The Strokes' original version from the record but the Voidz's from back in the 2014!
