Elliott Smith - 2:45AM

youtube.com/watch?v=u1eY2Oc90dM

Chet Baker - Almost Blue

youtube.com/watch?v=z4PKzz81m5c

GOAT songwriter

Also, he was qt in a really odd way

Chet Baker - My Funny Valentine

Nick Drake - Time Has Told Me

youtube.com/watch?v=z4PKzz81m5c

Glad you enjoy, could have picked any of his songs really, but they're two of my favourites.

Nick Drake - Leaving Me Behind

youtube.com/watch?v=4yXTPO0GMIA

Was Chet the most JUST case in music history? Heroin, not even once

Fav album by him? He was a really underrated guitarist imo. His chord changes are instantly recognizable.

Jason Molina - Don't it Look Like Rain

youtube.com/watch?v=LghRPODxqJQ

Probably Either/Or, although I'm a big fan of Roman Candle too. I genuinely like pretty much every song he put out there though. How about you?

Jason Molina - Hold On Magnolia

youtube.com/watch?v=YQtjwVTJUgw

From a Basement, which is a shame since it's not even completed. He's one of the few guys with a perfect discography tbqh

Also, you might like these if you don't know them already:

Not heard of any of them to be honest, I look forward to checking them out. Cheers.

what is that

Daniel Johnston - Despair came knocking

A bit too alternative for my tastes, but nice all the same.

Does she have a sad story?

bump

used to be a drug addict, has had to deal with a ton of dead friends, is a christian and also gay, so has dealt with that her whole life as well. she came out of it very happy and is a super inspiring figure to me but she had problems growing up. she talks about this in her songs as well

i love her album, just bought it yesterday
i wish i was a qt girl so i could cuddle her and tell her it's all gonna be okay

i just think shes super fucking rad. shes like everything i wish i was, but in a way that makes me want to improve myself rather than feel sorry about it

wow, i sure wish i was as passionate as you about starbucks-folk records, seriously

i wish you were too, youd probably feel better

well would you like me to explain what i mean by " shes like everything i wish i was" because im referring to her person rather than her music necessarily (though sprained ankle did inspire me to put out some shitty slowcore songs).

I've been trying to look for more music like Elliott as well. There's nothing quite like him. I feel so connected to him whenever I listen to his music. It's awesome when an artist pulls you in like that.
Not many artists like elliott in my opinion. No one who really touches the scope that he's in.

conor oberts' new album is pretty gewd too. really well produced

Have you listened to Heatmiser? Elliott's old band, they're pretty good. Also, you might like Damien Rice. Doesn't hurt to check out Richard Dawson too, he's one of the finest folk artists from the decade imo.

cant believe he survived being impaled by a tree
absolute mad man

Andy Shauf is a recent act who has been compared to Elliot Smith a lot.
