Protip: What you describe is not folk, if you need to call it something, just say singer-songwriter

scott tuma - hard again (this album is instrumental but it’s depressive nevertheless)
red house painters in general
seek catharsis and don’t let your depression consume you. good luck OP

script of the bridge is so much fun. arena rock and post-punk were meant to be infused.

have you listened to scott tuma? hard again is an absolutely stunning album. very bittersweet and incredibly well-performed

Honestly, one of the greatest parts about The Chameleons is that they can have such a fun, positive sound and talk about really serious issues like suicide and depression.
Monkeyland is pretty clearly about isolating yourself b/c of depression, and Soul in Isolation made that theme more clear.
Swamp Thing is pretty clearly about the fact that if you focus on how things are bad rather than acting, the bad parts of life will sweep you away. Up Down Escalator is about fucking INCOME INNEQUALITY
Don't Fall is about feeling overwhelmed/anxiety and nearing suicide.
Lincoln Clark
Seriously though, don't sleep on any of their albums or most of their side-releases or EP's.

This was before Script and it's still amazing.
Connor Roberts
i’m pretty sure that was the album i heard yea. not on my computer rn and i don’t feel like opening up rym
Josiah Garcia
Nope, but I'll backlog.
Ryder Sanchez
yea bro all about their subject matters lol. the beach boys kinda have that effect (even used similar production methods to the chameleons) with their music too, at least on pet sounds, but the chameleons took it to the extreme for sure.
Sebastian Miller
*i know all about their subject matters
fallin asleep
Oliver Richardson
you will not regret it. it’s like lushly produced, melodic free folk, with some nice ambient passages thrown into the mix. incredible album, and nobody gives a shit about it - sad.
Jack Carter
Sufjan's Michigan is sad but it's also hopeful. Don't wallow in those feelings bro, it'll be alright.
