With the overwhelming response* to my Top Sleeper Movies post here is a list of some of my favourite sleeper bands - the ones that don't get played much on the radio.
Top Sleeper Bands
Top Sleeper Bands
- Fiona Apple (pretty famous really - start with the album "tidal")
- Augie March (australian alternate folk rock band)
- Claire Bowditch (australian alternate folk singer)
- John Coltrane (Jazz giant, if you ever wanted to get into jazz start with "A love supreme", or "A kind of blue" by Miles Davis with Coltrane on Sax)
- The Dirty Three (Violin, guitar and drums. Think quiet beautiful Nick Cave instrunmental only better - start with albums "horse stories" or "ocean songs"
- Nick Drake (60's folk singer - mention him to most musicians and you will look cool)
- Elbow (A little Radiohead a little Coldplay, but only a little lush atmospheric songs that just grow and grow on you)
- Jeff Lang (Australian Blues folk singer - admired by John Butler etc...)
- Love Outside Andromeda (Australian Rock - for PJ Harvey fans)
- Morphine (Sax, 2 string bass and drums - their own genre - imagine dirty jazz bar)
- Elliot Smith (English folk singer - features heavily on Good Will Hunting Soundtrack)
- Lucinda Williams (American country singer - admired by Kasey Chambers)
NB: overwhelming response means more than 1 response.
