      They are definitely one of the most criminally underrated bands. But they’re all DIY, so they’re pretty popular for a DIY band. I think Genevieve’s solo stuff really deserves more attention as well. Louis seems to be doing alright for himself, though.

    Nineteen Forty-Five

    Their debut album, Together We’ll Burn Like Autumn Leaves is solid gold all the way through; the second studio album I Saw a Bright Light is almost as solid. I like them so much I tracked down all the members’ previous bands and solo projects and B-sides.

    Way too many to list but I’ll throw one out. Do you like Radiohead, REM, The National, Pixies, Frank Turner, or Dinosaur Jr.? Well, they (or their lead singer) all love Mark Mulcahy’s music enough to have recorded a cover song for the tribute album when Mark’s wife passed.

    Mark led the band Miracle Legion, released some solo work, and led the band Polaris (not the metal band from Australia), best known as the band from the show The Adventures of Pete & Pete. Also noteworthy: Miracle Legion toured and released an EP with The Sugarcubes, aka Bjork’s band.

    Song recommendations: The Backyard, All For The Best by Miracle Legion - Hey Sandy, Saturnine by Polaris - Taking Baby Steps, The Fiddler, Hey Self Defeater by Mark Mulcahy.

    Album recommendations: Drenched by Miracle Legion, Music from The Adventures of Pete & Pete by Polaris, and Fathering by Mark Mulcahy.

      They renamed to ‘Sordid Pink’ and have another album out.

      David Maxim Micic is their guitarist and if you know him, then you know they are good.

    Jukebox the ghost. Criminally underrated, they’d have been as big as queen or muse if they had the right publicity and timing.

    The Tallest Man on Earth. Probably the best modern folk artist, but not as well known as he should be.

    Aimee Mann. One of the best songwriters of the 90s and 2000s. Popular, but not as much as she should be.

    Placebo.

    Talk Talk. Spirit of Eden is one of the greatest albums ever made, but not many people know about it.

    In general, Parliament/Funkadelic has a ton of artists within its scope worth exploring. George Clinton is probably the most famous among them, but there’s also Eddie Hazel, Bootsy Collins, Gary Shider and his son Garrett Shider, Fred Wesley, and a lot more.

    I also recently discovered a Japanese artist called Masaki Ueda who seems criminally unknown.

    There’s a really underrated band from Vancouver called Slightest Clue that just put out an album. Alternative/punk and very fun

      Don’t know your other artists but I frickin love emancipator. I’ve listened to every album hundreds of times, not exaggerating. Have you heard Kinack? Not the same but if you like one you might like the other. I’ll have to check out your list when I can use my good speakers.
