Most music I like is considered obscure by my friends…
Memo From Turner from the soundtrack of the movie Performance.
It sounds like The Rolling Stones but it’s only Mick, plus Ry Cooder on slide guitar.
Idk how obscure it is but FIGURE IN THE BACKGROUND by Snake Pool
Isotopic shift

Abortive Gasp - Psychogod. Someone posted this to [email protected] 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.
The Forgetting Room by Seeming
My favourite “obscure” artist right now is a Vancouver band called Slightest Clue. Post/Punk alternative group.
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”
Alopecia by Why? (Surprise it’s an entire album)
But if you only want one song from it try Torpedo or Chron’s
Ramsey Midwood, Feed my Monkey
Damn near every song by Joshua Ray Walker
Yannis and the Yaw, Clementine
Showing my age here, but Michael Caine by Madness.
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”
I dunno if it would be classed as obscure any more seen as it now has over 2m plays, but when I first heard it 4 years ago it was for sure obscure.
