let's talk about and post our favorite bedroom pop, jangly pop, and DIY sounds here.

I'll start.

i like Alex G, or (Sandy) Alex G. I think he and his band are pretty fucking talented.

here's one of his unreleased songs i recently heard.

I have nothing to add, except for that the thread title reminded me of the recording artist 'Cry Wank'. He once said in an interview that his mother chooses to refer to him as 'Tear Jerk', which is adorable and hilarious.

nice song, dad ... really digging that

i never really know what all gets included into this style/genre. curious to see what people post and go from there.

I agree with 'snatch that I am totally unsure as to what really qualifies/belongs in this space, but I'm more than happy to play along.

I'm pretty sure it was snc that turned me onto The Rutabega - I think they qualify. This is Turn On the Summer:

heck yeah, higgs. that song definitely belongs here, and is in my wheelhouse.

i'd say stuff from flying nun, captured tracks, most of the DIY/lo-fi stuff you'd find on Bandcamp would go here.

thanks for joining in...keep 'em coming y'all.

another one from alex g. might as well just create a thread solely for him, but for now...

Now that we've shed the sad boi requirement I feel comfortable sharing this banger.

That's a good song

There's hope for you yet, son.

i like it too. flying nun doesn't disappoint.

Flying Nun probs deserves a thread. I'll just set up shop here for now.

I’m also fuzzy on what qualifies. Does it have to be recorded at home, or is it just more of a sound? Raincoats and Violent Femmes would fit the vibe, but they were recorded in studios…

For more modern music, Drugdealer is my favorite:

i think drugdealer qualifies, as does raincoats and vf. bedroom pop is kind of misleading, honestly. i just used that term because a lot of bandcamp--where alex g sort of blossomed--is made up of artists recording everything in their home, and they're providing all the instrumentation, etc...very DIY, no studio.

May go deep on Drugdealer soon
