"Good 4 U" much more so than "Brutal," IMO... (I think "Brutal" would have been dismissed as "poseur-ish" in the '90s, in a way that's not applicable now).

Grimes - Easily
Sounds heavily inspired by late 90s William Orbit

Fair, I'm maybe focusing on the Elastica resemblance too much.

Another big one:
Calvin Harris feat. Dua Lipa - One Kiss
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 25 May 2021 02:47 (two years ago) link
Ella Mai - Boo’d Up
Also gives a strong 90s r&b sound
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 25 May 2021 02:49 (two years ago) link
Robyn - Between the lines
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 25 May 2021 02:50 (two years ago) link
Actually several songs from “honey” could qualify...

I mean, a lot of 1975 songs, but "Me & You Together Song"

Planet 1999 - party, replay... I guess their whole discography
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 25 May 2021 03:06 (two years ago) link
Oh yeah another one from this year:
TDJ - lalala
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 25 May 2021 03:11 (two years ago) link
Just overheard CLOVES - dead and thought it was a trip hop / industrial pop song from the late 90’s.
Reminds me of Garbage.

― brimstead, Wednesday, 7 July 2021 20:29 (two years ago) link
This (good) Bachelor song nicks a bit from Superdrag's "Sucked Out" and weds it to some bits of Pixies and Breeders. Pretty '90s.

both of those specifically make me think of the 90s through the prism of the Daria soundtrack

From 2015 but maybe it qualifies... Heard this used as the theme song to a podcast and assumed it was a forgotten grunge record from 1993 or something:

So it's confirmed "Good 4 U" sounds like 2007 lol.

Actually it might have more of an 80s reference point, I'm now hearing Wipers...

Beabadoobee’s album is filled with these.
Clairo and WILLOW too.

Thought this would be another good place to bring up the latest album from Sobs, power pop band from Singabore, which as morrisp put it in the Rolling INDIE 2021 thread, "it's so explicitly 1990s-sounding that you'll feel the Crystal Pepsi make your teeth hurt".

That being said, I think Crystal Pepsi would have been off the market by the time music like this was getting airplay. A better point of comparison might be Surge or Orbitz.
― MarkoP, Tuesday, 15 November 2022 18:56 (one year ago) link
Yeah could be from late 90s Disney channel
― billstevejim, Tuesday, 15 November 2022 19:06 (one year ago) link
haha... if I knew I'd be quoted, I would have checked Wikipedia!
(I shared that album with a coworker, who said - "I feel like I’ve been transported into a 90s teen movie")

Huh, I wonder if they also ripped the hot dog break from YouTube

I do like that "Momma" track up there (caught the lyric "listening to Gold Soundz")
― Reese's Pisces Iscariot (morrisp), Tuesday, 15 November 2022 23:22 (one year ago) link
"Callin' Me" (track 9 on the album) is another highlight
― Reese's Pisces Iscariot (morrisp), Tuesday, 15 November 2022 23:52 (one year ago) link
"Tall Home" is cool and the production sounds "RILY Pinback" to me
― billstevejim, Thursday, 17 November 2022 16:27 (one year ago) link
The Momma album is definitely on repeat for me now... any other recs along those lines (poppy, Breeders-y, Salt-y)? The "Bachelor, Jay Som & Palehound" album mentioned above scratches a similar itch.

― "Mick Wall at Kerrang!" (morrisp), Thursday, 17 November 2022 23:51 (one year ago) link
I'm into the idea of this '90s-sounding stuff that's not weighed down by some of the cultural/aesthetic baggage of the era itself (if that makes sense).
