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.

I have a whole template prepared with recommendations in this genre.

Soundtrack for ‘Chinatown’

Somewhere off Jazz Street

Fogh Depot

Dale Cooper Quartet & The Dictaphones

The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation

Senketsu No Night Club

Compilations on Signora Ward Records (the label mostly releases industrial-noise, but has a bunch of these comps)

Soundtrack for ‘Tokyo-Ga’

John Lurie's soundtrack from ‘Down By Law’ plus ‘Variety’

Masonik's ‘Solomon's Shadow - The Five Framed’

Pram's ‘Beluga’ and ‘In Dreams You Too Can Fly’

Metamorphosis Jazz Band's ‘Godot - The Fragrance of Dark Coffee’ (from ‘Phoenix Wright Jazz: Gyakuten Meets Jazz Soul’)

Some of the soundtrack for ‘Cowboy Bebop’

Dave Ball and Genesis P-Orridge's ‘Main Theme »Finale«’ (from the soundtrack for ‘Decoder’)

Jared Emerson-Johnson's ‘Quiet On The Set’ and ‘The Office (Dream Version)’ (from ‘Sam & Max Season One: Save the World’)

Robert Wyatt's ‘September The Ninth’

Trevor Duncan's ‘Eastside Story’

Dirty Beaches' ‘Landscapes In The Mist’

The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble and Bohren & Der Club of Gore — they're not my cup of tea, but popular otherwise and may fit your taste.

Also the soundtracks for ‘Twin Peaks’ and ‘Lost Highway’, they're quite atmospheric. And some of ‘Twin Peaks’ 2017 Cast Mixtape.
