Underrated nobodies

Yeah, the “nobodies” portion of the title seems like a bit of a harsh description. I’m sure it wasn’t intended this way though.

Perhaps “Unknown and Underrated” would be better?

Sophia Kennedy is just outrageously good.

Her stuff is varied, synth heavy (sometimes heavy in general), psychedelic and abstract lyrics…great voice…honestly one of my favorites. My 14 and 16 year-old kids are also obsessed. We all shout along when driving.

Check out Apple in the Basket from her Being Special EP (it’s the third track)

Both of these soundtracks are seriously underated and are quite good. So are the games themselves for that matter. I highly recommend them if you like platformer shooters.


The tracks are all rather short, but they are a joy to listen to. :grin:

awesome, thanks a mill.
gonna spin it at work tomorrow. looking forward to it :partying_face:

Film score type stuff. Real neato chunes my dudes.

Great thread ! Looking forward to explore these hidden gems :hatching_chick:

A couple of people you might not have heard of but who have been producing wonderful music for decades. Hard to know exactly what to recommend but I’d go for Ron’s A Voice in the Wilderness and Dave’s Trikuti, both albums I’ve treasured for years:
Ron Berry and Dave Barker/Asana

Awesome! That whole New Beat thing has always been underrated imho.

Totally agree. His Olympic Mess LP is a total favourite of mine. And I really enjoyed his shows on NTS.

Yeah the prerelease track sounds really good. I wonder if he’s given up with the Octatrack :smiley:

I was going to post myself here, but then it hit me: I’m actually an overrated nobody. New thread for that?

A couple of Canadian underrated lesser knowns?

All I know is he’s gone back to using a lot of noiseboxs, vintage effects, still gonna be sampling so reckon the octatrack will still be there, definitely on live dates.

That’ll keep me busy, nice one
