I personally connect deeply with Amélie Farren. I’ve been listening to her music since she first posted it to tiktok. I can’t explain what about it connects so well but it just clicjs for me.
That got me thinking what artists other lemmings connected to. Hence the title

Off With Their Heads
Tomas Kalnoky (bands include Catch 22, Streetligh Manifest, Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution, and Toh Kay) is one of the best songwriters of all time, IMO. His lyrics resonate very well with me.
Pat the bunny (Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains, Ramshackle Glory, Wignut Dishwashers Union, etc) is another great lyricist. While they don’t always speak directly to my personal life experiences, I’ve known a lot of people like those he describes, and his politics match mine closely.
John Darnielle (The Mountain Goats) is just a beautiful poet and puts a TON of emotion into his guitar playing. I truly believe he’s the greatest living poet working right now.
Radiohead, especially In Rainbows. They have amazing melancholy music that also has a groove to it.

Period.

I truly believe John Darnielle is the most talented working poet right now.
Elliott smith
Jason Molina of Songs: Ohia and Magnolia Electric Co.
I’ve read his biography, I’ve listened to all of his music, and never in my life have I heard an artist whom I just wanted to give them a big hug. The guy struggled on an epic level in ways that I don’t think many do, and he makes me feel his sadness in a very intense and real way. His songwriting is exemplary and original, and his lyrics are regularly bouncing around my head.
Leonard Cohen
Beethoven and Bach. Depends.
Cynthoni, formerly known as Sewerslvt
Jonathan Coulton. His songs are this perfect blend of funny, nerdy, and melancholic. Like, one song is about a self-loathing giant squid that I find myself totally identifying with.
Stephin Merritt

I think Poppy Ackroyd. Her piano pieces just tell a story that i have never really quite found elsewhere. Dirk Maasen and a few others come very close, but noone can surpass her
Thanks for the reminder, I’ve not listened to Poppy for a while. Mechanism still sounds as beautiful as the first time I heard it!
You’re are officially the first person I know who knows of her. I think “Time” is her best though :)
