Please give me some input! I am stuck in the '90s, and looking to expand my horizons beyond King Khan :)

Hey, this is cool! I'm listening to Wolves In... now, can you recommend some more atmospheric or stoner metal?

[SarahJayne]

As far as garage and psych are concerned:

Dead Skeletons - dead magick

Shapes Have Fangs - dinner in the dark

Black Keys - el camino

Cosmonauts - new psychic denim

Wooden Shjips - west

Liquid Sound Company - acid music for acid people

the Cosmic Dead - psychonaut

Dirty Beaches - badlands

Singapore Sling -never forever

Lumerians - transmalinnia

Screen Vinyl Image - strange behavior

Night Beats/UFO Club - split

Night Beats - lp

I'm including psych stuff that very post punk/goth/shoegaze influenced in this list. Lots of long songs that are heavy on electronic sounds - may or may not be to your liking : P.

[KK Dirty Money & Las Drogas]

Did anyone mention Bass Drum of Death's Gb City on Fat Possum Records?

It is a good garage rocker for sure.

Jacuzzi Boys- Glazin

Black Lips- Arabia Mountain

Mark Sultan- both the Whenever & the Wherever lp's

The Booze- At Maximum Volume

There are more that I can't think of right now... The Black Lips probably has the most commercial appeal, but it really is a great album.

[THEE DIRTYBEATS]

Thanks SMF!

I have to admit- Im sort of stuck in a musical past as well! But there is this one band, Shannon and the Clams, that caught my attention. The singer used to be (or still is?) a member of Hunx and his Punxs-- Also a fun band by the way-- but has her own thing now. Sleep Talk is the name of an album they released this year. 

Also Leaches of Lore and  Tenderizor are two bands that I've discovered this year. They come out of New Mexico and are just fucking great.

Great list...thanks!
