Epic, lush, melancholy - recommendations please

The threads title is a very good description of the latest album from Mono.

On Spotify, just be aware that they mis-list some German reggae band in with them, which kicks in once the album finishes, quite a shock that.

Ok, so if you have not heard Grouper my favorite song.
This is one of the more "normal" songs she does. Theres a lot of drone/ambient in there too such as , the latter being Grouper V's Xiu Xiu from the album Creepshow

Enjoy

Really liking Blonde Redhead - cheers Walrus.

No worries

23 is the one with that epic sound. The other albums are a bit more lofi but still decent.

just listening to Earth – Phase III: Thrones and Dominions I think that fits the bill.

Can't believe no-one on this thread has mentioned Sigur Ros...

Isn't that more into 'heavy but epic'?

it is heavy as well as being epic lush and melancholy/.
