I've been listening to the same music over and over again for years now, and I'm bored of everything in my library -- including stuff I used to love!

I'm interested in some music recommendations, with the caveat that they have to be available through Bandcamp, as I'm trying an experiment where I step away from streaming and a lot of the more major-label stuff right now to see how it goes for me.

I'm open to recommendations in any genre, but if you'd like some direction, I tend to like music that:

  1. Is electronic (especially chiptunes)
  2. Features vocal harmonies
  3. Is bright and uplifting
  4. Works great as background music for reading/falling asleep

None of these are required -- so don't feel limited by them. Also, note that these are distinct categories -- I'm not looking for albums that hit all of these all together, though if you somehow know of one, certainly do recommend it!

Also, in the spirit of the site, here are some GAs for everyone! All of them are open to Level 3 or higher and all of them close Friday, August 7th. I'll be adding to the list as the week goes!

i have been listening to Wolf Parade's latest on repeat, might fit your vocal harmonies category. Spencer Krug also loves his keyboard so even tho they're not chiptune they've deffo got a synthwave feel this album around: https://wolfparade.bandcamp.com/album/thin-mind

ALSO Carpenter Brut is pretty fun, the guy makes instrumental synthwave soundtracks for movies that don't exist. i like his Trilogy album (a compilation of three self-titled EPs) the best: https://carpenterbrut.bandcamp.com/

ty for making this topic btw-- i've never used Bandcamp. gonna make an account and if my bank account permits gonna at least rebuy the Wolf Parade stuff cos i'm one of the dinosaurs who buy physical CDs just to rip to mp3 and listen on my phone. it's gotten really tiresome, if there's a way to get the mp3s easier then i'm all in.

Try Ulver:
https://ulver.bandcamp.com/
Their first album is missing on bandcamp though - but it's probably not what you are looking for xD
But maybe try it anyway? It's black metal classic after all :)

Electronic?

I normally find my music on youtube, but since you wanted bandcamp, these are some that I somewhat liked to really liked:
https://newretrowave.bandcamp.com/album/kiss-me-in-the-rain - has some neat vocals
https://izioq.bandcamp.com/album/hey-listen - and this one has some chiptunes
https://tobyfox.bandcamp.com/album/undertale-soundtrack -Undertale you probably already know, but even though I haven't played the game all the way to the end, I've listened to every song and remix, because it's just that good.
https://lukhash.bandcamp.com/album/hongdae-single - nostalgic ambient electronic music. Hard to describe.

No problem! I like giving people song recommendations after all. Feel free to give feedback :)

This features over like 6 hours of orchestral + some other soundtracks of the game, for less than a dollar. I bought it when it was on sale for the half the price. Really worth it, if you want to download the songs and stuff. You can go ahead and listen to it on Youtube too if you want.

Game + soundtrack that was in a HB so yeah, also good stuff.
