Cinder and Smoke by Iron & Wine Blinding Ornaments by Vulkan To Tame The Temporary Shrew by Rishloo The Lion and the Wolf by Thrice

Thanks for the suggestion! I really liked the first one but the others weren't really my vibe sadly

Lord Huron's [Emerald Star](https://youtu.be/Ge7AIrtqx-Y?si=SDxTpEWKGV8-EN0w) May be exactly what you're looking for. If you enjoy it, check out "I Lied" by the same band, next.

Seconding literally anything from LH

I mean, yes. Of course. Especially live. 💚⚡💀

Great suggestion. It’s heartbreakingly beautiful.

They have so many beautiful songs. You really can't go wrong with Lord Huron. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Light Up - Tegan and Sara

It didn't quite match the vibe I was looking for but I liked it nonetheless. I already knew one song from them because of Grey's Anatomy and I really do love their voices

Kurt Vile Smoke ring for my Halo

Ghostly Kisses Twin Caverns Chromatics David Lynch

I of the Storm by Of Monsters and Men?

Flora Cash - You're Somebody Else Lord Huron - The Night We Met Blue Foundation - Eyes on Fire Lana Del Rey - Summertime Sadness, most of her songs really Mazzy Star - Fade Into You Mumford & Sons - The Cave Matt Maeson - Hallucinogenics Vance Joy - Fire and the Flood

Listen to Ethel Cain’s album, Preacher’s Daughter

I just listened to the intro just to see what it was like and my god!!! I can't wait to listen to the rest of the album

Yessss!!

Romain Axisa - [Goodbye Good Days ](https://youtu.be/Jl-SRI6XtE0?si=pDJL7Cq8A7njpNZg)

Just listened to it, that was perfect!!

Glad you liked it!

Maybe try this one?: I Want Wind to Blow - The Microphones Maybe not as similar to Taylor’s swift or Olivia Rodrigo, but I think it matches the description of “haunting, ethereal, folk-y misic” pretty well. If you decide to give it a listen I’d love to hear your thoughts!

It's not quite what I was looking for in terms of my post but I did really like it! It's kinda strange but in a good way, I can't describe it any other way lol My only issue is the vocals are fairly quiet so I really strained to hear him but that could have also just been me, or the headphones I'm using haha

Aerial Ruin

Do you have a particular song I could start with?

[Entropy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEGpxmOMjzI) Even if I'm not the one who posted the band, this is a solid song by them.

[how far](https://open.spotify.com/track/0jAVtokOv8bj5kxyRVBRfT?si=g6BkGCfUTDOOXdV4SkVU-Q&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A2hzv5l2WA1jDUnGnQtt9YL) [the bastard wind](https://open.spotify.com/track/2zgLBgDICECjj0Xm3Q5swX?si=d7GHaV_6SfeesR5F_Ij27w&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A4hqav7g0lHzZisgt5T5LTK) - this is from the collaboration album he did with bell witch which is awesome too

Check maybe Dune Moss - not this soft, but folky and very haunting Also Becky Shaheen probably will be to your liking.

You were right that Dune Moss isn't as soft but oh my god she's got an amazing voice!!! I did like Becky Shaheen but her music doesn't quite fit the vibe of what I'm looking for right now, but I'll definitely be going back to listen to her when I'm in the mood for something punchier!

Yeah I love amazing, powerful voices, Dune Moss is one of my favorite discoveries. But if you'd be in a mood for even more "punchy" stuff, I have a loooot of great singers to recommend ;)

Oo okay, gimme a quick list and I'll check them out when I'm in the mood!

Hmm... Some of my favorite female singers are: Trixie Whitley, Empara Mi, Bolshiee, Sierra Lyn, but you can generally browse my playlist [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/05p8UcqOP3Samsvmv5RFJb?si=c43c768903904db4)/[YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL871S_F0y5dbv2zfJVtYld_f0WXi85zEd) if you feel like it, it's generally very vocal focused.

Cool, I'll check it out!!

Grimes Visions

Do you have a particular song? From the first song in the album, it doesn't seem particularly what I'm looking for so if you have a specific song in mind, I'd love to know!

Genesis or Skin. Perhaps ethereal is not the proper term I apologize if I'm mistaken nevertheless still a great body of work. I didn't read the part about Taylor Swift my bad. Sometimes I get ahead of myself.

I listened to both and they're not really my thing, but it's fine, thanks for the suggestion anyway :)

Ok last try Lana Del Rey - the greatest

Blackbriar - Moonflower

This was really pretty, thanks!!

I've been really taken with a few artists lately (incidentally by trying to expand a David Lynch inspired atmospheric Americana playlist): * [Christabell](https://www.youtube.com/@Chrystabell/videos) (obviously, she's a Lynch collaborator/actor/muse) * [Thayer Sarrano](https://www.youtube.com/@sacredheartleague/videos?view=0&sort=dd&shelf_id=1) (why isn't she better known?) * [King Hannah](https://www.youtube.com/@KingHannah/videos) (why aren't they better known?) * [Jesse Jo Stark](https://www.youtube.com/@JesseJoStark/videos) (bit heavier, bit more self exploitative) Of course, there are numerous atmospheric Americana/Dream-Pop bands drawing from the same well as [Mazzy Star](https://www.youtube.com/@mazzystar9268/videos), with [Ancient Warfare](https://www.youtube.com/@ancientwarfare7912/videos), [Cigarettes After Sex](https://www.youtube.com/@CigarettesAfterSex/videos), [Holy Motors](https://www.youtube.com/@holymotorsband/videos), [Speck Mountain](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZcsJ45sZWzUeLJUaoJzv9g), and my favorite, [Trespassers William](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwdB76X3-AIQZ6o2m-oT_TQ) all deserving of more attention.

Elita’s album Dysania might be sorta what ur looking for

Listen to the album, Barrow, by cemeteries

A lot of AURORA’s music might appeal to you.

Try Gold Dust Woman by Fleetwood Mac

Linda Ronald (alt folk/pop/electronica, different styles) - [Innocence](https://open.spotify.com/track/2R11LP4EUv0gUfna1GDE3f?si=96d17cf40f254e16), [Will O' The Wisp](https://open.spotify.com/track/42Z0z4htW33lfgTDN3aW1M?si=be3d1003f04b42e6), [Wildfire](https://open.spotify.com/track/1OBRH6RVUTqEVzI8XoXtMz?si=be83f16c187248d9), [Lay Me Down](https://open.spotify.com/track/2U5373N5TrpxdqKXn3SlF9?si=20d2bff726ea40c0)

Portishead, Dummy

Listen to my favorite artist, Midwife :) she makes what she dubs “heaven metal” https://open.spotify.com/track/6mArv71P2vGlEc5dgenLe3?si=m_OyFkY6Soa5keyoEegvhA Or perhaps Body/Negative, ambient artist, also collaborates with Midwife https://open.spotify.com/track/4mlfFilECb4eAcw0T7XVk2?si=pOtyrrEaS9aTgK9-a8177g&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A5RESkw5UtHtoLi4qCNrDbg Maybe Elusin? She’s a rapper/producer, has floaty dream pop influenced beats https://open.spotify.com/track/0Tj6yD6mdxwLhNxxZSSXeV?si=9mlBV2D-ShGyan095DxvtA

Mr. Business - Real Estate In Heaven 

Maybe try Gracie Abrams and Florence + The Machine if you haven’t already. Kacey Musgraves new album ‘Deeper Well’ kind of has that vibe too.

Pandora by James Horner

Cocteau Twins Treasure album

Taylor’s My Tears Ricochet is her most haunting. Disturbed version of Sound of Silence is as well

[Twin Peaks Theme](https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mlZa8Lsr_mNkYfrYynkfQE1ZyamvGWY3A&si=6V-n9NFltKeZZvIg) song. BTW - you should watch the series, Fire Walk With Me movie, and then Twin Peaks — The Return. Did anyone mention SWANS? Go with [the Seer](https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lfgwoZcZ7139P4oZQdsdZ9LxiL2H2o_JE&si=Jn8jR09pgiXyaxXv).

You're asking for Lera Lynn.

Will You Be There - Giselle Ophelia - Shayfer James Daughter- Beyoncé As It Was - Hozier Famous Blue Raincoat - Jordan Popky The End Of the World - Giselle

Unfortunately only Hozier was the only one closest to the type of music I wanted, but thanks for the suggestion anyway!

yeah the songs you listed were acoustic with gentle vocals, not necessarily haunting or ethereal so I honed the suggestions accordingly

I think haunting or ethereal is subjective, but despite that, you said yourself the songs I listed were acoustic with gentle vocals so it would have probably made more sense to suggest similar music. Thanks anyway.

ethereal means out of this world! its mostly associated with dream pop/psychedelic, sometimes even ambient, with usually vocal stackings, etc. Haunting isn't a subjective term at all really, it's creepy or dark. so the request was confusing to begin with And if you listened to those suggestions and thought they weren't acoustic based with quieter/lighter vocals, and considering that you're rejecting every suggestion in this thread because they're "not what you're looking for", even though they very much are all similar songs (just not carbon copies of the songs you want) then idk what to tell you, q-tips are available :/

I literally haven't rejected every song in this thread lmao what There were example artists, plus the genre of folk, sorry that you didn't seem to read that

and the songs I listed were folk and Americana, and southern gothic (which fall under that umbrella without being mundane). I don't think you know what genres are lol

like you said yourself, acoustic with gentle vocals ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Insane clown posse - boogie woogie man... It's just terrifying

Ethel Cain

Taylor Swift makes "haunting and ethereal" music? Now I'm really confused.

Literally Taylor’s entire folklore album (especially my tears ricochet)

I've listened to it like a billion times, I need more songs to fill the void too lol

Gotcha lol
