modey Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 i'm trying to write some 'alt-country'/'country post-rock' and would like to hear some similar stuff before i go and record something that just sounds like a terrible pastiche of the genre. if that makes sense? basically it all is centered around me buying this new guitar last week: whenever i pick it up i can't help but play sad sounding slow country songs, hahah. so yes watm, please help me out. i've got no knowledge of this 'alt-country', all i know is the 'real' old country music, heh.

Guest grue Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 i don't think it counts as alt-country really, but the album Hex, by Earth, is brilliant. you might already know it, but if not it's the sort of thing i would think of when you say "country post-rock"; kind of an amalgam of drone/doom metal and country.

Defintely singer/songwriter, but not so much alt really.[/record shop nerd] Neil Young for sure, but I would have thought that to be obvious.

modey Posted May 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 (edited) some nice recommendations in this thread so far. i'm really liking m.ward, calexico, and my morning jacket, from the stuff i've listened to. the song(s) i'm working on are a bit darker and slower than most of the stuff mentioned in this thread, but are giving me some ideas as to what kind of percussion i'm going to need, etc. sneaksta303 said: modey said: sneaksta303 said: modey said: i'm trying to write some 'alt-country'/'country post-rock' please god don't. i think we've already established that you and i don't agree when it comes to 'post' and 'rock'. also, it's not like i'm trying to become some kind of alt country superstar or something, i just like trying out a lot of different styles of music. lol... make what ya love buddy.
