Me too, though I don't know many of them. Coheed and Cambria comes to mind, but I haven't listened to them in years...

Any recs?

Janelle Monae. I believe her first (and even second) album follow the adventures of an android through the future. She's incredibly talented.

[elaminator]

Ooo, I've heard of her, but don't know anything other than a couple of songs. She has a gorgeous voice and a nice style.

follow the adventures of an android through the future

That's a premise I can get behind. Thank you!

[iggy]

Yep, Janelle was the first one I thought of. She's brilliant.

Oh damn, I used to love Coheed and Cambria! Their music is like comic books turned into epic albums.

Sure, I love to rec! Anais Mitchell's Hadestown is fantastic. It's based around the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice:

Have Gun Will Travel's new album is all about the Shackleton expedition in the Antarctic:

Joanna Newsom's Ys is some of the most beautiful and complex storytelling I've ever heard.

Um, sorry if that's an overload!

Their music is like comic books turned into epic albums.

I know at some point C&C actually released some comics, so they're definitely into storytelling! Maybe I should check out their last few albums.

No overload! It might take me a while to get around to these, but I'm glad to hear new music! I don't know any of these artists too; it's nice. (And the stories certainly sound unique!)

Thank you! <3

Radical Face has a series of albums called "The Family Tree" that is the story of a family for several generations. That's the only one I can think of off the top of my head. (Some of the storylines can be pretty depressing, but that's how it is with any family I guess. Listen to "Second Family Portrait" for a rather crushing example.)

[elaminator]

but that's how it is with any family I guess

Well...no lies detected.

I'm going to bookmark this thread and come back to it when I get the urge for something different. This is a pretty cool idea for a series of albums, though I find it hard to imagine the actual songs. Should be interesting!

Thanks!

Wow, what a lovely voice! (Haven't listened to the whole song yet, but thought I'd mention that.) Thank you! I have a lot to listen to now.

[anarchicq]

Andrew's voice is amazing. He's probably my favourite vocalist.

My personal favourite album is Eidolon, that particular song is from their latest album.

The band had some drama last year, where Andrew left because he didn't feel he contributed enough to the band(WHAT!?) and they became "The Ghost Apparatus", but then Andrew came back and all was well.

In the latest album, you can practically hear Andrew apologizing for being a delusional dick. Especially in Just a Ride.

...You know, this almost sounds like the premise of a fanfic. A slash one, probably. It's taking me back to my bandom days.

However, I'm glad that things worked out for them! (It's so sad when a good band breaks up.)

Ludo's Broken Bride album is a rock opera about time travel.

And their other albums, while not telling one cohesive story each, do have plenty of individual songs with characters & story.

[elaminator]

is a rock opera about time travel

This is somehow less shocking than some of the other stuff in this thread, and yet I still love it. Great theme!

Thanks, anon! (Can't say for sure when I'll get to all this stuff, but I'm glad to have this list of new things to try out.)

That could describe some of Midnight Oil's albums. Not bad for a noisy surf band.

Kate Bush's album Hounds of Love is pretty much all stories, some of them science fiction.

The Church got that way sometimes. There's some pretty vivid if trippy imagery in albums like Starfish & Gold Afternoon Fix. (I feel guilty for loving these albums. They were such a nightmare to record that the drummer retreated into his drug habit and left the band maybe forever.)

[elaminator]

I will keep these in mind! I love science fiction so Kate's stuff sounds awesome.

They were such a nightmare to record that the drummer retreated into his drug habit and left the band maybe forever.

Wow, that's pretty damn dark... poor guy. I hope he manages to kick the habit.

I would probably feel bad for enjoying it too, but...it's his job, and he would probably want people to appreciate his work even if the experience of creating it was a destructive one.
