I saw that on the overlooked albums thread, that is a great release. Raoul Vignal's soft whisper and his fluid restrained guitar play remind me a little of Nick Drake. Vignal is more serene than melancholic though. So tender and smooth, perfect lullabye music.

Bands I really should explore more of part #123: Elephant Micah.
This version of Still Life Blues is so fucking good.

this guy from Portland should be much better known, his 2017 album is excellent:

This new Lotte Kestner record is right up my alley. You know the deal by now: melancholic tunes ala Marissa Nadler, Alela Diane etc.

It's quietly been quite a good year for Americana/Roots records. Amanda Shires released a fantastic album. But the one I want to tell you all about is Life Ain't That Long by Rich Krueger. It's his debut album, he's a 58 year old neonatal doctor from Chicago who happens to be a fantastic songwriter.
If you like this genre, you will love this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_gKj7hS6OQ

Nice tune, but just once I'd like to hear one of these guys play a chord that can't be found within the first three pages of the Mel Bay Beginner Guitar Method Vol. 1

she knows a lot of chords
You are right about the chords but it'd be better if she would not sing.

I made it about twenty seconds into that one

she's great but she already has two threads of her own! (for Big Thief and solo work)

I have never heard of this person but that's some of the most insufferable singing I have heard in a long time. Sorry.

tbf that's by some distance as out-there/incantative as her vocals get, stuff like "cradle" and "womb" are more representative
