If you liked Colleen - Humming Fields, you'll probably like Aga Ujma's "In the Ocean". The two songs are similar in many ways.

>Ylayali - Woodpecker

Lots of his stuff from 2019 on suits this thread, though Magic Eye and Shadow on the Grass are probably his gentlest album from that time.';

Also gonna give a big rec for 22º Halo. Ylayali does drums.

I met Shelby once a long time ago at a Jordaan Mason show, a very kind soul...
My personalized recommendations for you are Loneliest Bug by Minda Lacey as well as To Speak by Chrissy Barnacle!! you might also like Mirah and Mage Tears';

'>>121576384
I've listened to Mirah for years (Don't Die in Me is one of my favorite songs), but I don't know the others you mentioned. I'll check them out.
Shelby seems like she'd be incredibly nice. I first heard her in 2007 and have never seen her live.';

'>>121576384
>>121576464
So I have heard Minda Lacey before! Thanks for reminding me. I couldn't find Chrissy's Barnacle's "To Speak", but I did listen to two amazing live versions of "Hazelnuts". Also, this Mage Tears song fits this thread pretty well, so thank you!:

Kinda sounds a bit like a male Juana Molina. Nice!';

'>>121564813
There are lots of gentle songs, but there's a very small group of musical artists who fall into that mousey/elf-like voiced category of artists like Aga Ujma, Kría Brekkan and FCFEC. I don't know any others than those posted here already.';
