some of these are probs repeats of what other people have said or what u alr listen to!
indigo de Souza (personal fave songs: how I get myself killed, darker than death, 17)
Adrianne lenker (both big thief and solo stuff, fave songs: zombie girl, steamboat)
Samia (fave songs: something in the movies, kill her freak out)
fka twigs (not really rock but I’m getting carried away. sadness of her discog varies. magdalene is an important album to who I am. fave sad songs are water me and home with you)
skullcrusher (whatever fits together is one of my favorite songs ever)
mitski (bury me at makeout creek is perfect to me)
the album songs to break up to by ta-ku is more electronica than indie but it saw me thru some bullshit in the 2010s.
snail mail (my fave song is speaking terms)
the national is music for sad dads but theres some strong overlap there i think (fave songs: i need my girl, blood buzz Ohio, dark side of the gym)
ok im sorry this is so long!! I love sad music!!

a study issued last month found that dancing is the most effective way of treating and mitigating depression. Walking, therapy, and yoga also outpaced SSRIs. and if you're saying 'oh this was probably funded by Big Dance', there's no evidence of that and if you're saying 'that's just what a Big Dance shill would say', well honey you're right
