So glad to have encountered this community. So much to explore. I love people's recommendations of obscure lesser-known music.

Here's mine: soffmi muhod.

Currently playing semble^1^, as I do a lot.

I keep saying I'm soffmi muhod's biggest fan. I've not had anyone attempt to challenge me on that yet. ... I may be soffmi muhod's only fan. That obscure enough?

Something like 20 albums [(and over 20 hours to listen to)] (at least on bandcamp) over the past 20 years or so. And as far as I know, only 1 fan.

I find it really difficult to describe, even to put into some genre category. "Audio art", it says. "Ambient", it says. "Experimental", it says. "Zonk"(?), it says. It even says Boards of Canada is its mother, and Autechre is its father, and that it is a "child of music". As someone put it "a union with a tone generator [and something ~ I forget what]".

Is this obscure enough for this "Obscure Music" community? :)

Surely.

It's the most obscure I know.

^1^ After semble, I'm hard pressed to pick a fave album (except not the first and last, the weakest). ... [Backspaced over a start of an attempt to describe some highlights, like everon, ripoonjadi, pHphimorphia, the enthusiast, both the "sides", lojg mucg, jymg kega, counterpart, mq7, opsyem, Qavykr, qysqam, uwkivj mkiriac, and "the orange album", because then I realise that's nearly all of them]

Yeah, that certainly seems obscure! Listening now!

[-] YetAnotherNerd@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, that’s a weird form of ambient. Zonk seems as good a description as any. Not quite tone generator but close. Thanks for sharing!

Also crazy that you can barely even google it. Obscure is you!

Glad.

Welcome to Obscure Music


Linked Communities

This is a community dedicated to sharing lesser-known music. Please try to submit and share lesser known music. I reserve the right to remove any music I feel is not obscure enough. Please don't take it personally if I do. It's just some people are sometimes not aware that a band or a project is bigger than they think.

Please try to format roughly like this:

Artist Name - Song Title [Genre] [Year]

Obscurity Guidelines:

  1. Any artist with more than one song with over 2 million listens or views on Spotify or Youtube is not considered obscure.
  2. Any sideproject of a popular band or musician or celebrity.
  3. Covers and Remixes of popular songs that violate rule (1) on their own. Covers of popular songs tend to attract more attention than the band might.

Please do not post any artist more than once a week.
