Hello people, thanks for clicking on my post with probably an unattractive topic name. Basically; I’m in love with the melodic bass line from the song “lounge act” and I’m wondering if there are any bands or songs out there that are similar to it. Also “send me a postcard” by Shocking blue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated 8)
Not sure about ‘melodic’. I mean The Jesus Lizard immediately come to mind if you want a band where the bass is really carrying the song’s melodic aspect but the singing is lightyears from Nirvana’s in terms of ‘poppiness’
There are some great early Verve tracks that are really strongly bass led with a sort of dreamy echoy guitar over them. E.g.
Young Widows and The Life and Times…I’ve really got a thing for music where the bass nearly swamps the guitar. Coalesce might fit that category too! And Helms Alee.
