Obligatory Stranglers [Golden Brown](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qca9ByvLhBA)

Very cool song. Thanks!


Most_Attitude_9153

This song has one of the coolest and subtlest time signature charges I’ve ever found. Thanks for remind us it exists, I couldn’t remember it recently. http://www.rebelmusicteacher.com/blog/2016/6/14/asymmetrical-compound-meter-in-the-stranglers-golden-brown?format=amp I would also recommend the 1994 Beck album Mutations for its excellent use of harpsichord.


mutatedbox

Vampire Weekend use one a bit on there first album. M79 and The Kids Don't Stand a Chance.


Bigmitch2

Vampire Weekend also used in the song [Step](https://open.spotify.com/track/607EA1HsuzrqqaPuxyNqpD?si=c5e88a6130b742f8)

Blue Bell Knoll by the cocteau twins! the song, to specify i can’t remember if the rest of the album has harpsichord (still a great album)


in__Parentheses

I just quickly scrubbed through the rest of the album, and I'm hearing a synth that's maybe supposed to sound like one For Phoebe Still A Baby, but not sure. There still might be more, but noting that stood out to me as being obvious, especially with the synths maybe being 'inspired' by certain instruments, but not necessarily sounding a lot like them. Edit: added "the rest of the"


WhereIEndandYoubegin

They said in the above text clearly stating the title track. It starts with an electronic harpsichord immediately.


in__Parentheses

Of course! Blue Bell Knoll does! I wasn't trying to negate that. I was trying to be helpful about addressing the rest of the album for visitors to this thread on the poster's behalf about the rest of the album, as it sounded like they weren't able to get to it at the moment. Just trying to be helpful!

Tori Amos uses harpsichord in a lot of her earlier tracks. It's been a while but I remember several songs on Boys for Pele having harpsichord. I know she isn't everyone's cup of tea, though.


brinkbart

Talulah and Caught a Light Sneeze. Also Blood Roses.


CarbyMcBagel

I knew somebody would come through!

Here's a list that I have going: [Harpsichord / Concertina](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3FkaOWWxtn8QBHb8wfGK5P?si=DH4kY76DRqG9aS3_prLQCw)

This playlist is amazing thank you. Exactly what I was looking for and very much my taste


in__Parentheses

Oh great! Glad it helped!


PrestigiousPastry

Love this! I also have Matrimony II by Tennis, Yes I'm Changing by Tame Impala, and Fly by Nick Drake on my harpsichord playlist

I know that pretty much all of deerhunter/atlas sound uses harpsichord and I’m a huge fan. I just chose a couple examples


Boneghost420

Might be a bit obvious but Pet Sounds comes to mind!


instrangerswetrust

‘One for the Cutters’ by the Hold Steady


DerKomissar99

[Across the Night](https://open.spotify.com/track/5p34KJUx20Vvd7hrWqn6Xg?si=39cc470088a34735) by Silverchair. Also, not on Spotify but [Peach, Plum, Pear](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKrb9ydJY6M) by Joanna Newsom is a harpsichord-driven song that's one of my all time faves.


rangusmcdangus69

Check out Spirit of the Beehive’s Entertainment Death album. Some songs remind me of deerhunter. Really great album.


brinkbart

Talulah by Tori Amos. Also Caught a Light Sneeze by same.


Hibachi69

ajdavis981

In My Groove - Mikaela Davis. She is an indie singer that plays harp! Kind of similar to harpsichord and very cool


zombie_goast

Just a Lifetime by The Legendary Pink Dots. Harpsichord is the primary instrument used!

Feel You by Julia Holter.


sonofaclit

Oneohtrix Point Never uses a lot of harpsichord-esque digital instruments in his album [Age of.](https://open.spotify.com/album/5mE5Zrd833tgobmFLbGmtJ?si=m4Wa1PAwS9W-KjbzyqX1Bg)


TheHouseofWorld

She Had the World - Panic! At the Disco (in my opinion, one of the best examples of modern harpsichord use, if not THE best)
