I just got into Bandcamp recently and I really want to expand my knowledge base on music. Most of what I listened to was either popular 80's rock or several subgenres of EDM, but I'm slowly (re)introducing some genres like: Jazz, Country, Folk, and maybe Hip Hop.

Toss me a suggestion if you got one.

For folk I've gotta recommend The Mountain Goats! Specifically their earlier stuff, the newer is maybe a little less folk and more just indie rock (but also very good). The Sunset Tree and Tallahassee are what people usually recommend for the first album, but We Shall All Be Healed is my absolute favorite, and what I'm recommending.

This album specifically deals with themes of struggle and addiction. They have this very "everything is fucked but we push through" way about a lot of their songs that I just love. My favorite song off this album is Letter From Belgium. This band is an amazing source of emotional support through hard times and the community is fantastic!

"All of the songs on We Shall All Be Healed are based on people John used to know. Most of them are probably dead or in jail by now."
