Klordok, I’ve got a playlist, “Everything sucks but that’s ok”. This Year by The Mountain Goats is usually a solid pick. It’s wistful and defiant without being too sweet.
Misanthropic Drunken Loner by Days N Daze is bleak with a wry smile.
Nausea by Jeff Rosenstock.
I got so tired of discussing my future I started avoiding the people I love Evenings of silence and mornings of nausea Shake and sweat and I can’t throw up
And if things are starting to get a little better Good As It Gets by Little Hurt is great. It is incredibly catchy.
space_of_eights, Dutch I have several actually:
- As mentioned earlier: Portishead - Threads. Actually, the whole album is perfect for a certain desolate mood.
- The God Machine - Picture of a Bleeding Boy
- The Cure - End
- Joy Division - Komakino
- Nine Inch Nails - The Wretched
LoomingMountain, The fragile cd 1 is just fantastic depreasion music all around.
Trollivier, Broken, by Sentenced.
5in1k, LDLHA‐IBCSYWA by Twiztid
When my dog died I’d listen to it and cry a ton.
LinyosT, On GP - Death Grips
DahGangalang, (edited ) Liquor Bottle by Herbal T. Has a nice faux-upbeat rhythm with jazzy kinda beats, but lyrics.are dark. Definitely helps me keep a sane face on the dark days:
And that’s why / I keep a
A liquor bottle in the freezer ♪
In case I gotta take it out ♫
Mix me a drink
To help me
Forget all the things
In my life that I worry about ♪ ♫
Dangy, Wax and Herbal T both nail those faux-upbeat type songs
Pelicanen, My go-to song for turning into a sobbing mess on the floor is Sting (feat. Ray Chen) - What Could Have Been. Hits very hard.
fckreddit, There is a small indie band called Kabir Cafe, whose songs are inspired by a 14th-15th century poet- philosopher called Kabir. Those are some amazing songs to hear to.
Saigonauticon, No room to live, and no room to die / Hell is a kettle with a concrete sky.
Life in a big city in the developing world. Makes you hard like hunger, sharp like regret.
RedChief2200, Lorde - Liability
Hits that slow, mellow, sad music tone cravings with heavy hitting lyrics.
TheBroodian, Wildfires by State Faults
itmightbethew, A black sun rises everyday / Shadows cross my path as if to say / “Change your life, change your ways, look up to the sky” / Tomorrow’ll soon be here then time to die
This is some loud stoner/doom metal. Cheesy? sure. Self indulgent? Absolutely. But when the mood strikes it hits the spot every time
antlion, Nine Inch Nails album With Teeth. Every Day is Exactly the Same, Only, and Right Where it Belongs.
itmightbethew, (edited ) This by far my favourite album of theirs. Every one a banger. Especially those you listed.
RizzRustbolt, Roads by Portishead.
She knows. She gets it.
troyunrau, Oh, solid track
Raverbunny, Nice choice, probably the best from Dummy for this topic. I’d also like to mention Over from their second, self titled album.
space_of_eights, Dutch Ecellent choice! My personal choice is “threads” from their third album.
windowlicker, i’m so tired - fugazi. this song has accompanied almost every depression breakdown i can remember.
