I think the new Tokimonsta album is really cool. I'm listening to it now for the second time, and the only reason I haven't had it on re-repeat is that my earphones are busted and I'm broke so I can't replace them with new ones and I therefore can't listen to music on the road.

It's really chill and introspective, it has both vocal and instrumental tracks and it has plenty variation from track to track. I love the opening tandem of 'Lune' and 'Rouge', the first two tracks. It sets the stage perfectly for what's to come. I'll be giving this a lot of re-listens, it's already my favourite album of the year next to Foo Fighters 'Concrete and Gold'.

I noticed Deltron 3030 album is pretty similar to the debut self titled Gorillaz album. Probably because Dan The Automator was the producer for both of them and both albums feature Del The Funky Homo Sapien. I refrained from listing Deltron 3030 because I figured it was more in the realm of hip hop but now I'm starting to notice the trip hop influences. For example the Deltron 3030 song "Time Keeps On Slipping" sounds very similar to the songs "New Genius (Brother)" and "Man Research (Clapper). In fact "New Genius (Brother)" and "Time Keeps On Slipping" sound almost exactly the same since the instrumentals are vocals are very alike (Damon Albarn was doing the vocals in the background for both songs).



"Things You Can Do" is my favorite and I think its the best song on the album.


I like the opera influence on "3030" it would nice if more trip hop and hip hop songs used it.


"Turbulence" can easily pass for a trip hop song if you remove the rapping.

Speaking of all that... Dan w/ Mike Patton:

Faithless sounds great, I've been digging that style of music lately, glad to know there is some other artist I can listen to. Trip hop mixed with other electronic music genres really is something special.

I listened to a few Lovage songs on that album. Dan The Automator is pretty underrated in my opinion, his style of trip hop and hip hop is pretty unique. I like some of the Western vibes he gives off in songs.

Like "Everyone Has A Summer"


I like the chills "Archie & Veronica" give off


I like the singer on "To Catch A Thief"


Have you heard of Pillowfight? It is one of Dan's most recent projects. I think the singer from "To Catch A Thief" is Emily Wells since they both sound exactly the same. This is a great album.

Used To Think is my most favorite on it, it is very catchy. The guy and Emily singing back at each other kinda gives off some sort of retro/swing vibe.


Rain is a close second, I the base at 1:14 is my favorite part. I especially like listening to this on rainy days.


If you don't mind the language for this one than "Get Your s**t Together" is a good song to listen too if you ever feel down.


I don't know who is the guy singing but I like him, he sets a more tense/edgy setting to the song.


I like the other singers that are singing along with Emily it creates a great harmony. 0:42 shows a great example of it


Get Down is a good workout/road trip song. Dan and Emily seem to be having too much fun in this music video

You know, even though their a rock band - going off the Mike Patton deflection - I really think you might like Faith No More if you haven't checked them out. They've always had trip hop as a component of their music, or at least with and after Angel Dust it started making a strong presence in their music. It's one of those bands I grew up on and actually a cousin who I looked up to through my childhood (RIP) was a super-fan of this group:








From their last album a couple years ago:

Faith No More sounds awesome, some of their songs do give off trip hop vibes and I like Mike Patton's voice. Now that I listened to him more closely and looked up featured vocalist for the Pillowfight album he was the guy singing in the song 'Used To Think'. Any album in particular you would recommend?

I found another artist named Anthea, she only has one album which is a shame because she has such a nice voice. Her songs have some drum n bass in some them. This is another hidden gem.

'Deeper' is my most favorite out of the album


'Away 2 Always' gives off some trance vibes


'Only One' I like the nu jazz elements


'Can't Be You' gives off a nice atmosphere of dark and moody

Dang its almost been two months since the last post on this thread, I've been feeling very lethargic lately that I haven't been doing much of anything. With this cold weather and now snowing, I'm looking for chilly trip hop songs again.

Anyway this isn't trip hop but Neosoul but it sounds very trip hopish, from Hiatus Kaiyote, I never noticed how trip hoppish the song Prince Minikid sounded. I almost thought I had one of my trip hop songs playing when I had my music player on shuffle.

Nice song, will look into Faithless when I get the chance.

I was looking through anime songs and found this. It gives off some cool trip hop vibes.

An even more epic track by Faithless. This is one of those that stuck with me for years, and IMHO Max's hyper-observant altruism helped cement it as a classic.

Dang its been about 2 months since the last post on here. Anyway I've been listening to some Enya and found this song that gives off some trip hop vibes. It's New Age but her voice and the overall atmosphere of the song feels like it belongs here.



These are some others I liked and think give off a little trip hop vibe
