Thank you for sharing, everyone!
I’m slowly going through the comments and enjoying a variety of good and interesting music!
Excellent choice. I was going to go with Future Soon by Coulton.
This is hilarious, i love it. My favorite Jonathan Coulton song is Sticking It to Myself.
That one is great!
I keep mis-remembering one line as “I’m not unreasonable, I mean at some point you’re gonna hafta die”

I like how simple this song is musically while converting multiple things behind the lyrics.
Burrito Mojado, the Fabulous Hedgehogs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqfanMci3-A&t=0
This is hilarious, i love songs that are silly and fun while still being good.
Glad you like it. They made two albums, both pretty goofy. The main guy ended up in Vegas. Did some interesting stuff.
A great one for your Halloween playlists is “The Crazy” by The Children MacNuggits.
But if you want even more obscure, a college friend of mine started a homebrew record label and got every band on campus to submit their best track for a compilation… and then he did it five more times
Twenty years later, I still listen to some of these songs daily, but especially: (warning, these are download links, not streaming)
Cold Heaven - “Eurydice”
The Heavy Pets - “(A Dragon’s Just) A Dinosaur in Drag”
Zinc Finger and the Major Groove - “Too Much of a Girl”
The Passerines - “Young”
Been following this band for a while now and every now and again they release a banger.
They never draw huge numbers which doesn’t make sense to me given their songs.
This fucks.
Bo Burnham - Welcome to the Internet

You can thank
meBo later.With 145M views and like thousands of variations I wouldn’t call this obscure. Great song, but not obscure.
LOL, fair enough I guess. 🤷♂️
I’ve never heard this before, Bo sure does know how to send a message.
I’m also learning this is where the piano and laughing meme came from. lol
Transmissor - Janela
Oh i like this. I have no idea what it’s about but it gives me nostalgia/reminiscing vibes. Definitely a head nodder! Also i appreciate how much variety there is even being a short song.
I messaged them and told them it should be much longer, they appreciated the comment and that they were proud of the record. The album is great. This song in particular can make me cry if I listen to it enough.
The President Called all the Artists by Micah Sommersmith
The snare on 2 and 3 really adds to the military theme the artist is painting. Very cool. I feel like this song is a small piece of a larger story.
Idk how obscure it is but FIGURE IN THE BACKGROUND by Snake Pool
This is a fun one. The driving beat from the drums and the bouncing bass make me smile and it’s impossible not to tilt my head back and forth to the beat.
Abortive Gasp - Psychogod. Someone posted this to !gothindustrial@lemmy.world last year. I was the only person to upvote and comment on it. 1K people upvoted it on youtube, but that’s over 6 years. I don’t know anything else about this group.
This is interesting. It’s like dark-trance music. Also, is it Psychgod or Psychogod? Sounds like they’re saying Psychgod and that’s what’s in the background as well.
I have no idea what they’re saying or why. That’s part of the charm. I have this in my “favorites” and always get hyped when it comes on.
Isotopic shift
By pyromed
This almost gives me horror vibes due to being very busy and the wavering pitches on the synths. Reminds me of Stranger Things. lol
My favourite “obscure” artist right now is a Vancouver band called Slightest Clue. Post/Punk alternative group.
This is good, big fan. I like the changes in intensity throughout the song.
They have two EPs right now and I’m quite a fan of both. If you liked that one, definitely check out the rest of their discography
The Forgetting Room by Seeming
The build in the beginning of this song is so good. It’s also interesting how vocals-focused the mix is, that’s something i’m not used to.
Yes, of course! Half of the music i listen to is instrumental.
That was a good song. It gives me vibes of melancholy and longing.
