No Man - Shell Of A Fighter
No-Man are an English art-pop duo formed in 1987 as No Man Is An Island (Except The Isle Of Man) by singer Tim Bowness and multi-instrumentalist Steven Wilson (the latter also of Porcupine Tree). The band has so far produced six studio albums and a number of singles/outtakes collections (most notably, 2006's career retrospective, All The Blue Changes). The band was once lauded as "conceivably the most important English group since The Smiths" by Melody Maker music newspaper.
Originally creating a sample-based proto-trip hop/ambient/electropop-styled music, No-Man has pursued a more organic, diverse and band-oriented sound in subsequent years. Drawing from a diverse mix of singer-songwriter, post rock, minimalist, progressive rock, jazz and contemporary ambient sources for inspiration, No-Man's musical style is distinctive yet difficult to categorise.
( More awesome No-Man music )
Enjoy.

More Low Down On Music
Apr. 11th, 2016 12:32 amOne thing i really like about LJ is the wonderful music other people post that i have not heard of before and thanks to
lilchiva here is a haunting song -
Gaelynn Lea - Someday We'll Linger In The Sun
This is an original song by Gaelynn Lea entitled "Someday We'll Linger in the Sun". Gaelynn Lea is a musician, fiddle teacher, and public speaker from Duluth, MN/
Talking of Duluth here is one of my favourite bands from that town -
Low - Just Make It Stop
Low is an American indie rock group from Duluth, Minnesota, formed in 1993. As of 2010, the group is composed of founding members Alan Sparhawk (guitar and vocals) and Mimi Parker (drums and vocals), joined by newer addition Steve Garrington (bass guitar).
The music of Low is characterized by slow tempos and minimalist arrangements. Early descriptions sometimes referred to it as the rock subgenre called "slowcore". However, Low's members ultimately disapproved of the term.
Parker and Sparhawk's striking vocal harmonies represent perhaps the group's most distinctive element; critic Denise Sullivan writes that their shared vocals are "as chilling as anything Gram and Emmylou ever conspired on—though that's not to say it's country-tinged, just straight from the heart."
Low - Down
More Low behind the cut -
( More Low )
Enjoy.
