So, J0rdan S., which suggestions hit the mark?
― Hideous Lump, Friday, 26 June 2020 03:15 (four years ago) link
the Kurt Vile versions of “Baby’s Arms” with the Sadies would fit, although my first thought when seeing the thread was KV.

Few tracks hit the mark for me in this thread. People do hear music in different ways I guess. For me Sweet Nuthin’ has a very chill - almost slacker rock - vibe. These haven’t been mentioned yet… so here’s my playlist which might only hit the mark for me too:
JJ Cale - CherryFaces - DebrisBonnie Rait - Thank YouDavid Bowie - space oddityKurt Vile - BassackwardsTim Buckley - buzzin flyThe Byrds - what’s happeningPink Floyd - fat old sunCrosby, Stills & Nash - wooden shipsRolling Stones - can’t always get what you wantThe Kinks - StrangersCourtney Barnett - avant gardener

fantastic playlist. yeah i always heard "nuthin" in the same way, not somorose but more like stoned in the backyard on a sunny day

Confused the "it's not easy" song by Ofege with one by Extra Golden which isn't really similar to Ofege or VU but it's a very laidback song that could fit.

Extra Golden are interesting was it Washington Dc based postrock band players met some people from my dad's tribe who played Benga and united I think including combining names.I have an earlier set by them called Thankyou Very Quickly from about 10 years ago.

The entirety of Pavement’s first Peel Session sort of has this melancholy, rockin’-out-through-wistful-tears vibe in my mind.

Dear Mr. Fantasy, already mentioned, might best fit the criteria. Some other suggestions, though they may be more psychedelic than morose:
