What are some strange releases you've found online? let me know :^)

now I have an impulse to make an alternative bandcamp account to make weird noise concept albums

Bandcamp is musical anarchy at It's finest, lot of normal, weird stuff, It's really a jungle of strange stuff

Hawaiian Black Metal. Not exactly weird, but entirely unconventional. Kūka'Ilimoku is the name of the project.

its not really in the vaporwave/noise genre, but there’s an album called “We Got Hot And Died” by pretty swans and it’s a “concept album about being on fire” its pretty sick from what i remember

I absolutely love bandcamp's freedom of expression in the modern age. It's strange that i can find incredibly obscure albums that experiment to their full extent due to our current internet age.

I spent like 5 minutes trying to find your channel because i kept typing "chad pennington."

You know I have grown to love Bandcamp, just the vast selection of not just vaporwave, ambient music electronic music, Vocaloid music, it's an amazing music distribution platform.

There's this group called kevin and the bikes, their theme is centered entirely on ed, edd, n eddy and their most famous release, dorkcore 101, is 101 tracks long of songs ranging from noisy, synth heavy puck rock, to lo-fi jam sessions that feel aimless and unfinished, and even a "podcast" about the band talking about kevin. It's stupid, amateurish, juvenile as hell and i absolutely adore this album like a mother who loves her son who's been held back twice, steals from her to buy weed, and unironically visits 4chan.

One of the coolest , weirdest , and most conceptual hip hop album I ever found that I never seen mentioned before is noir 2020 remastered by Ulises Valadez Contreras, originally released in 2014 under the alias man bites dog. The album builds like a nightmare in your head. Runs for 30 minutes without a moment of silence

I know of this noise rock album based on spongebob called Bikini Bottom Improvisational Troupe for the Inevitable Decline and Closer of Chum World. It’s entirely free on KZfaq. It uses Spongebob soundtrack and character trait samples along with this harsh glitched out noise, usually under large amounts of textures grating against the samples and the noise going in and out of each other. All of the album is under distorted footage of the Spongebob Movie Game which fits it perfectly.

I went all through "One Second: A Compilation Album" and it was like trying to select a notification sound for a new phone, where you literally play every single one of them on the list in the phone settings. It was weird, strange, extravagant, and I liked it

There's an album called "Shit Cut Into Thin Lines and Snorted Through a Bendy Straw" by Carbuncle and I don't even know what to say about it. It's a weird mix of genres and it's deranged and I've never seen anyone talk about it.

You're just so amazing at analyzing music. Sure, all music makes me feel something, but you explain it in such an in depth, relatable way that helps me see the music in an amazing way. Thanks for these videos

I love this series we need more episodes of weird albums on bandcamp!

As much as I would love to share some weird bizarre and mysterious albums your channel is actually my window to all of this, that's why I'm always looking forward to your videos Love u 💚

On my couch, sunburnt and tired after a blazing hot day in Boston... lets see what Paddy got on this chill Sunday Also HKE had over 80+ aliases

there's an album on geometric lullaby called COMPLETE MORON that always seems to slip by unmentioned from the label. It's hardvapor but it's one of the most brutal sounding albums I've listened to. combines the sounds of gabber, speedcore, breakcore, hardtechno, and noisecore all put into one

this is why I love bandcamp I love experimental music, it might be strange but it's strange enough to draw attention, which is kinda why people make experimental/avant-garde music.

Earlier this year, I've attempted to make a sound collage album to which I would burn it on a few CDs and either leave them out in public or donate it to a thrift shop, but instead I released it on my bandcamp account. The album is called "《無題のプロジェクト》╏ ˵ ✪ ﹏ ✪ ˵ ╏" and it is split up in four parts.

Bandcamp is amazing. It has allowed me to realise my childhood dream of releasing full albums of music despite having gone thru some unfortunate situations in life that made pursuing a conventional music career not really on the cards. Making music and self recording on my ipad during my homelessness really saved me. I now have 13 albums over 2 aliases and a new one coming this week. I'm so pleased to be able to build a discography that I can look back over as that wasn't a possibility when I started making music.

I’m not trying to suck up here but I seriously can’t believe you don’t have a ton more subs. Your content is great.

The PBS album sounds absolutely terrifying lol I cant wait to check it out

oh my gawd. That PBS album by Robustom is crazy! The "Sesamo Blues" is some dark shyt. The rest of his discog is pretty sweet too. Albums dedicated to Nick, CN, and Disney Channel

I think "Death Eternal Sleep" is spiritual heir of "I'll try living like this", but more darker and oddly.

I just love the way you interpret music in a way that I didn't even think was possible, especially music without lyrics. I wasn't really fond of music theory or the meaning that it holds, but ever since I found your channel I appreciate it a lit more, and started to listen to lyric-less music a lot more. Thank you! 💖

This is the video that introduced me to Mr. Robustom & the Public Broadcasting Service duology. I even managed to get a limited edition cassette of this album & it's sequel. So thank you Mr. Chennington for introducing me to my favorite Signalwave album.

One of the strangest albums I've ever listened to on bandcamp was called "Sex, Drugs, and Clownshoes: An Escape to the Slaughterhouses of ZzzkzzZ." Put together by the Interdimensional Clown Collective and featuring such talents as Giant Enemy Cancer Cult and God King Josiah, all of whom also have quite the bizarre portfolio of albums by this point, "Sex, Drugs, and Clownshoes," is a messy, vulgar, and bizarre journey through a dimension of endless orgies, anti-rhythmic dance parties, new drugs, and immortal bloodbaths put on by happy go lucky gibberish clowns messing with synths and FM radios. It feels like a funhouse mirror memory of partying. There's an accompanying short story in the info section of each track. Trigger warning for surreal gore and BDSM.

I’ve been searching for some deep dive goodies lately so this is perfect 👌

Thanks for making this one! I'm always on the hunt for the weird stuff from the dark side. I hope this becomes a series. That DRAKE 遗事 JOSH / / JOSH 遗事 DRAKE is blowing my mind right now.

Lick Nand is my friend!!! Super fucking talented, it’s awesome to see her art recognized ❤️

This is it. I’m in love with this channel now. You’ve always been great, but this was the video that hooked me. Thank you for the great content, and also, this better be a series

Gonna have to give these albums a whirl later on! It's always so fascinating to see how weirdly left of field people can get with music production! Loved this one as usual, my dude!

16:12 hmmm. I know a lot of you guys probably don't know much about kpop but the girl in the album cover is f(x)'s sulli. She passed away due to su1c1d3 last year on October 14th. I find it,,,, strange? I guess that the album's name is "death eternal sleep" and the fact that it was released just a month before her passing. I don't even know why I'm making this comment really, I guess I just miss her a lot and found the coincidences jarring. She commited due to the fact that she received tons and tons of hate, yet her company didn't do much to help her out. The anniversary of her passing also happened just a couple days ago as well. Damn. I miss her so much. May she rest in peace :(

Dude your editing is insane! Keep up the great work.

I contributed a few tracks to that Drake and Josh vaporwave album, even owned a cassette copy at one point. Definitely one of the high points of my senior year of high school.

Aw, just what I needed on a Sunday afternoon. Some new Pad content!

Ngl, listening to you talk about albums is almost more enjoyable than listening to albums.

You NEED to review an album from how to disappear completely, the music that the artist produces is just amazing, and I think you would enjoy it a LOT. My favorite from the artist is How to disappear completely - seraphim.

You really should do more videos about weird albums. You have a style and an atmosphere that is very dreamlike and works really well with the content you are discussing.

i was waaaiting for this video now i can finally go to bed after i watch it :'D

This is a great video, Pad! I love list style videos like this which give me new and interesting music to try out. You do a good job of choosing a variety of different projects, and talk for the right amount of time about each one. One strange release I found deep on bandcamp, and which you might enjoy, is _Black Goat of the Woods_ by Black Mountain Transmitter. It's an album comprised of one 40-minute long dark ambient track, split into three sections like a movie (opening theme, the movie itself, and the closing credits music) with a heavy lovecraftian atmosphere. There's just something really otherworldy and beguiling about it. I'd definitely recommend checking it out!

Teenage Poetry by Heaven's Emperor has always been a favorite of mine. A grungy, expansive exploration of depression and self hatred. For an indie drone release, the sound is very full. The album feels super cinematic to me.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank to you, Pad, for giving me new albums to listen to and giving me new weird genres to listen to. Really loving it and I also really love your channel. Looking forward to new videos!

Hahahaha, I had to doubletake when I saw the Drake and Josh album in the thumbnail. That album was actually a collaborative effort by a bunch of people on 4chan’s /mu/ board in 2014 or so. One of the songs on there is mine, I even bought a cassette when they came out but I sadly lost it. How did you even find it for the video?

Your whole channel is why I fell in love with bandcamp not just vaporwave but those eerie, underground part of noise and ambient music as well. Props man 👍

I feel like I've just entered a modern art gallery and you're explaining what I need to know before I can really appreciate what's ahead of me. Thanks.

Im in the 1 second comp!

This channel is damn awesome! One of my favorites on the entirety of YT. Especially love your work on noise stuff. Thanks!

Well, seems like you just introduced the waporwave scene to me and I'm pretty mush hyped. Anyone who can take a newbie by his hand..? It's overwhelming right now.

Nice to see One Second on this list. in hindsight I'm not super happy with my submission on it, but I'm glad to have been a part of something that big!

Just want you to know that i really love your contents and hope your channel will gains more recognition in the future ♥️

Man, I was waiting this video a lot. Time to hear weird music. (Also, will you talk someday about RObert Fripp and his ambient music?)

Glad to have alot of new albums to check out 😎👍 great work again!

Instantly subbed. Loved the video!

Fell down a 15-minute rabbithole listening to the first release after hearing you talk about it, thank you! This is the reason I watch content like this.

honestly the bass boosted teletubbies theme on public broadcasting system absolutely slaps

Thank you Pad for always giving me great things. I found everywhere at the end of time thanks to you. Please make a "The Caretaker" video, i want more creepy, strange, gimmicky music videos from you.

Xxxtentacion had an ep on bandcamp called "the red light district" it's a lost to with only 1 full song found the other half made, and it has a song called red that's about him bringing satan to earth and killing his own mother, anyone that heard the song feels it should stay lost but I don't feel it needs to be lost cause it's art and deserves to be heard cause it's not gonna hurt his main fan base being he has a cult following

You should definitely do a part 2 of this and the other video covering disturbing and creepy albums

Hey Pad, loved the vid. I'll check all of these out. Any chance you could add links to the Bandcamp releases in the description? Thank you.

This is fascinating stuff man. I appreciate your videos. I like that you dive deep into the most obscure music on the web

Oh wow, never expected to see anyone I'm friends with in my list. Ellie Lick NAND is a very cool and talented pal

Public Broadcast Service scared me.

Yo Pad, I always enjoy your descriptions of these albums, makes me feel hyped to check them out.

I find these videos so interesting. I was wondering if at some point in the future you would be open to making a video count down on albums featuring the genre dream pop? I think that would be super cool!

Great video once again Pad! Stuff like this is precisely why I've come back to Vaporwave and fallen in love with it all over again after losing interest in the scene a few years back.

I want so much to hear you talking about Boards of Canada, in particular about their darkest album "Geogaddi". That album is an amazing music experience!

I’ve only just started using Bandcamp and I must say, along with this channel, it’s definitely introduced me to new music I never thought I’d listen to before

I got a few recommendations of unconventional and really amazing music I'd like to recommend, although some you may have already heard before I just simply feel like it's good to mention them: -Nicole Dollengagner. Making music since 2012 and got a record label deal with Grimes in 2017, Nicole has been someone I followed musically wise on Bandcamp since 2013 and has changed my life. She and I share the same birthday so it feels like it shouldn't be a surprise that her music often reflects the inner feelings of my very soul, but it can still catch me off guard to this day how wonderfully her vocals can express my inner feelings. She's mainly a dream/indie pop musician but her vocals and lyrics certainly make her stand out other then her guitar and basic sounds she uses in her early years. From masturbation to eating disorders, Nicole beautifully illustrates everyday struggles with her music and sheds light on things we may consider disgusting to make it suddenly seem tragically beautiful. With her record label to Grimes her music has evolved to have a much more crunchier and aggressive instruments used like 80s style guitars and drums, beautifully contradicting her sweet vocals. Every single track that Nicole has it worth listening to if you ever have the time to do so. -Silke F. This is a obscure KZfaq artist that has been in and out of the scrutinizing eye of the media a few times over the years, but this is a artist that always seems to be releasing something new every week. Despite this though, it seems that her releases are quite repetitive, and is just continuations or re-mixes of original songs she's already made. A artist who struggles with severe ADHD, a lot of Slike F's music includes harsh and fast paced instrumentals that can feel like a huge migraine on th ears for people who aren't neurotypical. However once you give her music a chance, you can find that her music can be highly clearing of your energy, and can be a wonderful musical cleansing palette. This along with her reptilian conspiracies about herself makes her KZfaq channel one hell of a ride to experience, as she's constantly either scrutinizing the media's commentary of her and her music, claiming to leave and then returning with new music anyway, and giving music that challenges your perception of what music can be all at once. -Lesbians On Ecstasy. This is a band very recently discovered, and has quickly become a top favorite of mine for the unconventional gay vibes the band holds alone. Belonging into the subculture of punk called queercore, this band has a very electronic meets early 2000s rock feel that has very sultry tones and vocals from the lead artist that may leave you questioning your sexuality if you don't believe you're anything close to being a lesbian. Lesbians On Ecstasy is a fantastic band that captures the feeling of underground queer culture quite beautifully, and is quite a treat to listen to whenever you're in the mood for gay shit.

Got the PBS album on your recomendation. Thank you for this video.

Ended up following the linktree on wavekiller's page and found the links for a whole Brazillian bandcamp scene wavekiller's a part of. Glowing In Furs was definitely the standout out of all of them though. I checked out GIF's album "flashback" and while it's spotty in a few places it's honestly really out there stuff.

Hi, I discovered your channel while searching for samples, Obscure music has always caught my interest. I stumbled on an artist by the name of mellowdna I am curious to know what you think of his work. A couple of my favorites. Falling skies, the play. Keep doing what you do more of these unknowns need to be heard .

A great rabbit hole of strange albums I've found are Christmas themed vaporwave albums

you should've included the true masterpiece by the caretaker "everywhere at the end of time"

You just put me inside of bandcamp, and oh boy... So much stuff that I would never dream to hear in my life THANK YOU

Bro, you should check out Fort Thunder. Its a group of artists who rented out this old mill in Rohde island and just decided to do whatever they wanted in there. They create art, graphic novels, even did wrestling and some great noise music. One of the most notable acts coming out of there was Lightning Bolt, legendary for their loud distorted bass and crazy drums. I think the place is very interesting and I think that it would be a great topic for your channel

I literally clicked the video because i thought that was deaths dynamic shroud lol

Hey man, if your looking for some more deep dives, I would recommend listening to Hawaii part two. Spectacular musical experience, incredible lore

Love your channel, man!! Cool episode, I added a few of these releases on my wishlist.

this video has a scary vibe to it. i’m living for it!!!

I really just adore these videos. Keep up the good work!

Another hitter man, great video!

"UNAPOLOGETIC LITTLE BITCH" by HOT STEW trust me you've never heard anything quite like it, also his newer album is fun. Rough hewn and often tongue-in-cheek but undeniably funky.

There was this one album I found on KZfaq and I honestly didn't know what I was listening to. It was right at the sweet spot of the uncanny valley, almost like alien music trying to emulate human music, and almost succeeding, but ultimately missing something 'human'. I forget what it was but it was so strange, I convinced myself I shouldn't be listening to it.

Cool new channel I just discovered. Great video, friend!

Really fascinating video!

Was really interested in this idea but would have immensely preferred it if the tracks being described were actually played a bit.

Thank u sm for this video! I will be adding them to my collection:)

i love bandcamp. my favourite discovery this week is a lofi screamo album called "your arms are my cocoon". doesn't sound like it would work but it does!

The vibe I get from Pad's videos or always so perfect when I'm at home alone. Like, I look forward to the times where I can sit dossed out on my couch with some food seeing all these real s p o o k y albums. Some days I'll wake up with almost a compulsion to listen to stuff I've seen in videos past, Geogaddi being a huge one and now A Sucked Orange. I can't explain it but watching these makes the albums so much better, keep it up Pad 💜💙💜

Ok, ive been binging a good amount of your videos and I love the positive vibes you are sending a sub genre and your eclectic taste in music has inspired me to venture out to stuff I never knew existed before binging your videos. I’m currently at work listening to lick Nand’s album you suggested in this video. This is utter madness and a fucking trip. Thank you for this suggestion! I feel like I’m tripping right now listening to this haha.

Awesome video man, I'm looking forward to a follow up with more weird tracks. I've saved all of these!

I know that it makes more sense for sites like Bandcamp to push popular releases, or albums that the algorithm predicts you're going to buy, but sometimes I like to just pick a genre, hit "most recent" and see what comes up.

Not sure if the people suggesting albums in the comments are actually suggesting weird music they found, or just trying to push their shitty drone project. Really hope it's the former. Anyway for my suggestion, I really dig "The Private History of Comfort Women" by AG Davis and Jamison Williams. Seriously fucked up free improv duets for soprano sax and voice. Really intense and not for the faint of heart. If you dig John Zorn or Kaoru Abe, definitely check it out.

Just subbed love your content

The casino one actually sounds like music and it’s kinda good ngl

Thanks for this video Pad! I'm a big fan of Untitled (?????????) and I'm really looking for albums wiht similar sounds, lingering old ambient radio loops with a cavernous feel to it...I'll give a try to the albums I don't know on the list, thank you king!

The entirety of Orange Milk records could make up this list

yknow, id really like to see your take on james ferraro, since hes even done things like ringtones for a museum, or like that movie rapture adrenaline, if nkt him then the duo bull of heaven would be a cool video as well
