I’m a BoC noob and Campfire Headphase is my favorite album of theirs. Looking for other albums by other artists that scratch that itch. Any suggestions?

There's a very particular hazy, summery-yet-nostalgic 1970s vibe to Campfire Headphase that I can't think of an immediate comparison, however when I personally think of an instrumental soundtrack to the summer, the first I think of is 'May Your Heart be the Map' by Epic45, one of my favourite albums. They were once described as the 'Black Country BoC', although in reality they're quite different.

Brant Bjork's Jalamanta is one of my favorite chill out around a campfire type albums. It kind of sounds like TCH if it was fully analog.

Rediscovered this gem the other day. Beautiful, dreamy, nostalgic goodness!

I can't think of anything similar, aside from maybe one song here and one song there, all by differing artists.
Maybe there's a mixtape or playlist out there someone has compiled that would be similar.
TheOST on YouTube (possibly recently) uploaded a track inspired by the album, but again, it's only one track.

Wasn't someone working on an AI generated version of BOC music? Maybe they can do something that would give you the results you're looking for...hell, now I want to do that!

Thanks for the suggestions. Will be sure to listen to all of these. And you should totally make an AI version of Campfire Headphase.

As much fun as that could be, it would probably let more BoC fakes out into the ether.

I'm not sure this is much of a stylistic comparison to TCH but I figured you might get as much enjoyment out of it as I do.

Sadly, a bandcamp page for owl.'s music was removed recently. This. As far as I know, is the last remained glimpse into his work.
Funny story, I have this short album on CD, through that, is how I discovered that bandcamp ever existed in the first place.

Enjoy! :wink:

Maybe Four Tet's Pause?

Yes I’m already a fan of Four Tet. This is an excellent call.

So glad you enjoyed it! They're criminally underated. I have a feeling you'll enjoy Tape also...another band who are underated in my mind. Really blissful, atmospheric, natural vibes to my ears...
