I second "Confield" by Autechre. It's their most experimental album by far and sounds completely otherworldly. Plus their unique approach to generating sounds on the album (generative synthesis, MAX software) resulted in some of the most unique sonic sound scapes in electronic music.

And in my opinion their best (without disregarding the rest of their catalogue because its amazing still). With Draft 7.30 they just created the soundtrack for a future without humanity where only super computers speak thru texturized beep boops. The funny thing is that all the songs have a pulse that you can follow even if it sounds so abstract and devoid of structure at first.

I've never heard Autechre before, but "Confield" sounded like some odd Aphex Twin tracks, though I'll have to explore more of Autechre's back catalog.. For myself, I'd get more listens out of Bernard Parmegiani's seemingly random (and oddly engaging) "De Natura Sonorum" (1975).

Seriously, if you think The Residents are the weirdest band in concept and sound, check out Caroliner. A mix of Bluegrass and Noise with very abrasive vocals, and the band claims that all lyrics come from a book with songs that a singing bulls head sang in the 1800s.

I read an interview with guitarist of the Magic Band who played on Trout Mask Replica and he recounted Captain Beefheart coming up to him and saying "Sound like this" and crumpling a piece of paper in his ear. Personally Trout Mask Replica kind of irritates me even though I consider myself pretty broadminded. However I love all the Captains other stuff. Lick My Decals Off Baby is one of my all time favorites.

I adored this video and the albums were definitely good picks! An album I would add is definitely halber mensch by einsturzende neubaten (yeah long ass name because it’s german ) and this album is literally industrial, like in a sense that they took the term industrial literally, meaning that most of their instruments were literally construction tools instead of actual drums and I mean sure there were guitars and bass but most of it were construction tools as persecution or just doing noises with those, even a shopping cart was included at some point. Vocals are also considered weird because Blixa Bargeld (singer and leader or the band) does this really weird noises and just interesting vocals and for most people sounds just inaccessible to enjoy. I pretty much consider this album as some of the most inaccessible albums to enjoy (and they even have weirder ones)

as soon as i saw this video in my notifications, "Сатанизм" by Коммунизм came to the mind. (you can type "kommunizm - satanizm full album" on youtube) it was recorded in 1989 in USSR. album starts with two chaotic and noisy songs "human factor" and "human factor in action", first one being an intro and the second one being a 30+ minute experimental noise rock song. harsh noise, unsettling screams, various psychedelic effects and samples with a simple bass line with a drum beat playing in the background. followed by a 19 minute beatbox tune with acapella singing "miners' strike in kuzbass" and finishing with an eerie & hypnotic 15 minute gothic/psych rock song with a funereal organ, which sounds like satan himself plays it.

I think Faust, the krautrock band, can be a good example. I'm more familiar with their debut, which is quite an unsettling and chaotic listening to say the list. Knowing that they are considered an inspiration for industrial, it all makes more sense. And for more Kraut vibez, I think that the song Peking O by Can is another good example: that shit is so proto-Residents! Then, a lot of contemporary avantgarde classical music could fit into this category (stuff like Cage, Penderecki, Xennakis...). Finally, Area, the Italian prog band, has some oddballs in their catalogue, especially in their album Caution Radiation Area: for example listen to Lobotomia, a piece that was conceived to be a literal earrape that samples a lot Italian jingles and melts them, again, in a way that's quite Residents-esque. OH, definitely also the Pop Group! If you want to know what free jazz meet punk meet dub meet noise rock meet Captain Beefheart sounds like, go no further, traveller.

Here is my contribution.... THROBBING GRISTLE (Surprised I haven't seen their name on here...) NUCLEAR DEATH "The Planet Cachexial" (formerly an extreme metal band, they really threw their fans for a loop with this album. As an old fan of their stuff, I think they should've changed their name with this album. It's not metal at all, and it's very bizarre) Anything on Wheelchair Full of Old Men label (easy to find online) HEARSEBERRY TACO (over the top weird) EDITH BUNKER'S DEMONIZED VOMIT INSURANCE (there are a few videos on KZbin.) GUARANTEED KATCH (Crazy strange wacky old band from MA, former members of POST MORTEM) LOU REED "Metal Machine Music" (If you like experimental noise and are not familiar with this album, then you've got some homework to do.) TINY TIM (He did a lot more than Tiptoe Through the Tulips. Check out the stuff he did with CURRENT 93.) WESLEY WILLIS (Anyone reading this, if you are not familiar with this guy, go listen to a few songs and thank me later.)

Here's some of my weird album picks: Godflesh - "Us and Them": This band is known better for albums like "Streetcleaner" but I feel like this is one of their strangest and most underrated albums. It mixes their signature sludgy industrial sound with a multitude of genres like Drum and Bass, Breakbeat, Post-Metal, Big Beat, Industrial Hip Hop, etc. It definitely has a strange atmosphere but I personally love it. Divine Styler - "Spiral Walls Containing Autumns of Light": Definitely one of the strangest hip hop/spoken word albums I've heard and stupidly ahead of its time, some of the songs on it sound like Death Grips or Dalek but this album came out in 1992! I call it a hip hop album but it's actually more accurate to refer to it as a weird cross between spoken word, psychedelic rock with elements of jazz, funk, industrial, folk, abstract hip hop, electronic, and other weird genre blends. Gorguts - "Obscura": Some of the weirdest death metal probably ever made, it sounds like avant-garde jazz but played by a death metal band. Took a while for this to click for me but now it's probably one of my favorite metal albums ever. Ulcerate - "Everything Is Fire": Intense technical death metal out of New Zealand, sounds like a mixture of Gorguts, Immolation, Nile and Cryptopsy, and there's even a post-metal influence that pops up here and there, similar to Neurosis or Isis, but the overall atmosphere on this album is extremely suffocating and intense. Devin Townsend Project - "Deconstruction": Don't even really know how to describe this record, it's completely all over the place, like most of DT's music but this album is unique in my opinion in that it has a really schizophrenic and crazy feeling to it. Lye By Mistake - "Arrangements for Fulminating Vective": A really overlooked and unknown band, it's basically TDEP-esque mathcore but these guys can just segway into a bunch of random-ass genres like jazz fusion, flamenco, stoner rock, folk music and there's even a song that has a country and bluegrass section, but the thing is these guys are extremely talented musicians so they're extremely proficient in any genre they play, similar to Estradasphere and Between the Buried and Me. Tub Ring - "Zoo Hypothesis": This band should have been way bigger than they are, they started off as pretty much a Mr. Bungle/Secret Chiefs 3 copycat but it was on Zoo Hypothesis where they finally developed their own unique style in my opinion. I guess you could say they're like if Mr. Bungle was an Art Punk band, but they also throw in elements like hardcore punk, mathcore, synth punk, art rock, emo, and a multitude of other genres, and manage to make their songs extremely catchy at the same time. Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - "Grand Opening and Closing": Another album that it is hard to find words to describe correctly, very weird and schizophrenic avant-garde metal/avant-prog. Brutal Truth - "Sounds of the Animal Kingdom": Very intense and spastic grindcore but with lots of strange songwriting, atmosphere, and production. I could go on and on, there's tons of weird music out there but I'll leave it at that. Some of the records you mentioned piqued my interest, so I'll definitely check them out!

I'm gonna mention an album by Steve Rodden called "Forms of Paper". This album basically popularized a subgenre of ambient called "Lowercase" which is basically the loosest, most minimal form of ambient possible, to the point that it can be argued whether it should even be considered music at all. It's basically just him handling paper in different ways into a microphone. Definitely fits the bill for a weird album.

I've been a big weirdo-music fan since my first exposure to the world of Mike Patton and company (Fantomas, Secret Chief 3, Umlaut and John Zorn as a whole). Going to mention those albums that still to this day twist my brain and scratch that unexplainable itch: Fancy by Idiot Flesh. Last album of the carriers of the torche that at some point Henry Cow carried and then gave to Thinking Plague until the flame reached Idiot Flesh. This album is an absolute ride because even though they experiment with recognizable ideas, you still don't understand what the fuck they are on about. Is funk? Is metal? Progressive rock? COUNTRY MUSIC? None and all maybe. Personally I just hear a lot of Thinking Plague is how they approach dissonance and rhythms but with their own sense of humour. Songs like " Chicken Little " starts at first in this very menacing world-is-ending type of atmosphere (The refrain of the song is " The sky is falling... ") until they reach the " chorus ", an amazing and groovy as fuck section (the bass goes crazy) that then connects to a upbeat joyful country section that changes everything in a second to then return to the first section of the song. Other notable pieces are " The Straw " (a 10 minutes epic journey about the world ending... not with a bang but with a whimp), " Motherfucker " (a song that halfway-through starts to jump in a disjointed manner through various part of the song like a collage of sounds) and People in Your Neighborhood (a kids show-esque song about a naive kid meeting the not so happy or good people in his neighborhood). They where also like a big theater group so their live shows use to have this very carnival composed of street artists feeling to them. Aaaaand I extended myself too much already lol Quick ones: Boingo by Oingo Boingo. Last album by them and with a complete different sound (fully inspired by Danny Elfman's works with movie scores at that point). Sinister, fun, melancholic and wonderfully orchestrated. Yha Hamaraa by Paavoharju. Awesome ethereal finnish freak folk with grainy noisy ambiance (reminiscent of Fuck Buttons and the first album of Animal Collective), chip tune synths and vocal melodies that sound inspired by Hindi pop music. Very very mesmerizing, desorienting and unsettling at some points (but in a good way). Contentum by Atrox. Norwegian avant garde metal that fuses this very exaggerated high pitch opera singing with more " typical " progressive metal sections. It has beautiful moments like in the song " Panta Rei/Gather In Me No More " that are maybe gatekept by the vocals that can be quite harsh to the ear to some. Nymphomatriarch. " Venetian Snares balls bouncing on some cheeks " samples. UNCANNY VALLEY by Stabscotch. I don't really know how to describe this one. The most intense and weird as shit experience I've ever exposed myself to. Its a 10. Sing to God by Cardiacs. Goofy divine masterpiece. The album tries to get on your nerves most of the time in the first half and then lets you breath a little in the second half. Not easy to describe but it sounds like the happiest and enjoyable panic attack ever.

Some interesting stuff there, as usual... *Grand Guignol* is a strange album for sure - you are correct that JZ was always looking to push this band to the limits of what it could do - but despite appearances, it contains very little improvisation (if any). Even the title track sounds fully written out to me (having spent three decades listening to Zorn's various projects) and the stuff which can't be transcribed will still have been precisely conducted by JZ. The rest of it contains no improvisation at all: a handful of JZ's arrangements of 20th Century orchestral repertoire, followed by the 33 tracks from *Torture Garden* which weren't included on *Naked City* (TG was released on Shimmy Disc in the US, then licensed to Earache in the UK and Toys Factory in Japan, but was not released on either of Zorn's own labels until much later - so he made sure that the tracks themselves were). All of the guys in the band were experienced improvisers, but that wasn't what this band was about. Personally I reckon that *Absinthe* is Naked City's strangest recording, though - and the one least suited to the band... You may also wish to check out Mike Patton's *Adult Themes For Voice* if you're not already familiar with it - I've known people get quite angry about the fact that such a thing even got released..! Another one for which we can thank Mr Zorn 😂

First time i heard of Patty Waters was from a Diamanda Galas interview where she referenced her as an influence. Not sure if you have, but she is another amazing artist to look into. Alot of her work is not for everyone. She done blues covers and her own blues music (she's a classically trained pianist) but her more Avant Garde work is full of truly other level vocals and dark subject matter (definitely not music for entertainment). She's also collaborated with John Paul Jones of led zeplin (a more rock album) and John Zorn. Edit: Just watched your Industrial Iceberg video. Love the Strawberry Switchblade t shirt. 😉💜

Here's a few strange albums I'm obsessed with: Old - Formula (started out as the joke grindcore band Old Lady Drivers, they later incorporated elements of industrial, psych and death metal into their music, but this album sounds like it comes from another dimension, it's very hard to describe) Coil - Stolen and Contaminated Songs Ween - Pure Guava The Sidewinder - Colonized (a short-lived Kevin Martin/Justin Broadrick project, so expect distorted beats, hypnotizing techno loops and some very unorthodox production choices, listen to the track Total Destruction of Mind of Body)

Here's some weird shit I know: Caroliner Rainbow: Incredibly weird "noise bluegrass", their live shows are very nightmarish. They've been around since the 80s and they handmake all their records and artworks. It's some of the weirdest shit I've ever seen and heard. "I'm Armed With Quarts Of Blood" is my favorite album from them. Pensees Nocturnes: Legit one of my favorite bands of all time. It's clown metal from France, or more specifically black metal with French cabaret influences. Makes me think of a deranged performance in a smoke-filled underground cabaret. "Grand Guignol Orchestra" is their best album imo. La Torture Des Ténèbres: Canadian "atmospheric ambient black metal". The music is chaotic, psychotic and noisy and never lets up. idk what it is about "Civilization Is The Tomb Of Our Noble Gods" but I've listened to it front to back dozens of times and love it every time. Reminds me a bit of Gnaw Their Tongues.

When i think of 'strange' music, i usually think of 1. Clowncore's "Van", not only for the music but the videos (which are fucking hilarious) 2. Fantomas' self titled album and "Suspended Animation", which are brilliant metal albums with the oddest of song structures (if you can even say their songs have structures) and arrangements 3. Mr Bungles' "Disco Volante", easily one of the most complex albums ever created, not only in songwriting but also arrangements, textures and influences. I'd say this is even weirder than their self titled record 4. Danny Brown's "Atrocity Exhibition", one of the most interesting rap albums. Crazier than the instrumentals in songs like Golddust, Pneumonia and White Lines, is the fact that he was able to rap over them and make it sound good 5. Secret Chiefs 3's "First Grand Constitution and Bylaws". I don't even know how to describe this album But overall, the weirdest music has to belong to Bull of Heaven. Albums that go on for HUNDREDS OF YEARS, or ZETABYTE large albums. have to be the objectively weirdest shit out there

Strangest album? Easy, it's Hot in the Airport by Y. Bhekhirst. Released and recorded in 1986 entirely by a single, unknown man (who is still unidentified to this very day, and probably will be forever), this record is from the "outside music" scene and sounds like a really weird, dadaist post-punk record. For most people it's barely listenable (if it is at all), and it's a common meme in my friend circle, but it's also quite satisfying and interesting at the same time. There are genuine listenable tracks like "I Run My Car", "Rain in Summer" and of course the title track, "Hot in the Airport" and I always struggled to decide if it's plain bad or has an actual artistic decision, because for me, it wasn't that hard to see the beauty in it and actually started liking it. You like unusual time signatures? Oh boy, now I have the record just for you, because Y. Bhekhirst completely rejects time signatures in a conceptual level, and created an almost hypnotic, "urban samanistic" journey. kzbin.info/www/bejne/faOyp2xtoNxropI

There is an album called Alter Ego by Walter Zuber Armstrong and Steve Lacy that is pretty weird. Armstrong is a free jazz musician who usually plays flutes, but on this album he’s playing bass clarinet while Lacy plays saxophone. It’s one continuous improvisation that is just pure chromatic noise. It’s not the easiest to find, but pretty interesting if you can get your hands on it. I think Armstrong def influenced Andre 3000 on his jazz flute album, but he’s pretty obscure so you don’t hear much about him.

Three more for you since finding weird shit online is a passion of mine: Diamanda Galàs - Plague Mass. This is a live album from 1991. She basically does this weird operatic singing and otherworldly screeching sounds while topless and covered in blood in an old church. One look at the cover art and you'll know what you're getting into. Also anything by The Hanatarash would fit. They just scream and throw plate glass and stuff on stage in Japan. You used to have to sign a waiver when attending a show, and you can hear the audience in the live recordings going "Wooohhh!" when some of the shit they were throwing got too close for comfort. One of their live shows involved demolishing the actual venue they were in with a bulldozer, how messed up is that? Haha Finally I'd like to recommend Corey Feldman - Angelic 2 the Core.

Another underground artist people don't talk much about is Pink Siifu, their album "N*GRO" has to be one of the most odd and ambitious musical experiment I've ever heard. He is an industrial rapper with a very prominent punk influence and his album tackles social and economic problems in the US. The whole thing sounds incredibly dark and deranged, the production is super dusty and sounds like it was recorded in a sewer and it reminds me of the production of Grindcore albums. I heard that you were looking to get into hip hop and I found this artist through the "wide world of experimental hip hop" page, since it's rare to find a clear version of this image I can send anyone a link if they are interested.

@@somerandommetalhead8982 Yes it's absolutely subpar and maybe it's one of those things that's more intellectually interesting than it is valuable. But you take these three painfully isolated girls in the boonies of New Hampshire who maybe have one transistor radio between them and shove guitar, bass and drums at them and say ' Make music !' and at least I thought we got something interesting. GG Allin had a similar psychotic upbringing in remote NaH and went on to record multiple hours of unlistenable garbage. A band who did the same thing as the Shaggs a lot more effectively were the Godz from NYC. They couldn't play a lick but still managed to conjure interesting sounds. Don't know where to start with Frank but give me my own Mt Rushmore and his face would be up there. With the one annoying exception of Thing Fish I believe I own everything he did solo or with the Mothers. Uncle Meat maybe tops my list but his later stuff was just as good as his older. I was hooked on Joe's Garage 1,2 and 3 for months and show me any album as creative and bizarre as Civilization. Most rock musicians go into terminal decline (Bowie stopped his sad skid thank God) but I believe Zappa would have just gotten better with age if Yellow Shark is any indication. But then he was hardly just a 'rock' composer. And I don't know about you but when the Complete Hot Rats Sessions came out I died and went to jazz-rock fusion heaven. Zappa DID produce the first two Alice Cooper albums. My advice is stay away. Annoyingly weird for weirds sake.

@@teddydog6229 sorry if I skim over some stuff in my response it’s not my intention but my brain is refusing to read this properly. Firstly yeah I believe the shaggs are more of a interesting story but weirdly enough when you compare them to GG Allin I disagree. Not on the part of interesting upbringing but music wise. Something about GG’s music to me is so intense and raw as well as unbridled rage which I feel is what hardcore is about now obviously a good amount wasn’t great and some projects he had released some bad shit but he does have quite a bit of iron, a little less gold and maybe a rare Diamond among the bunch. I have yet to listen to the Godz but I will be sure to check them out when I have the chance. Also I didn’t mean to imply his older stuff was bad by any means more that I prefer the earlier stuff. I do agree he probably would’ve keep getting better with age yet we sadly will never know. Finally I am huge Alice Cooper fan and though I love the story of how and why Zappa signed them. Which basically goes they opened for him one night in Detroit saw the entire crowd leave when the band started playing and instantly thought they had something. The first two album definitely disagreed Alice Cooper is another very interesting person they could easily make the list of strange especially during his New Wave era but his mainly comes from his small horror concepts and not being strange outright. Either way Alice Cooper rules so does Zappa and thanks for the recommendation

I have recently discovered the Venezuelan musician Arca through theneedledrop channel, they are labelled as an avant garde pop artists who blends IDM, reggeaton and hip hop. Despite having helped in the production for many popular artists such as Kanye, The Weeknd, Frank Ocean, FKA Twings, Bjork etc their sound is incredibly unconventional and at first I thought of their music just being disjointed and messy in an "overexperimental" way that accomplishes nothing, but upon relistening to some of their albums I think that those elements play to their strength. Pretty much any album from their "KiCk" series sounds very dizzing, abstract and atmospheric with industrial hip hop, hyperpop, breakcore and glitchy elements. I recommend them for anyone trying to get into avant pop and experimental electronic music!

Did mike patton make a band Mr Bunghole ? (rofl) Mr Bungle is entertaining, but Mike's ideas are grounded in rock-lore ... in a VU/Sonic Youth/ Oghr cEvin sense . Consider the Throbbing Gristle family as a whole, and the meanderings of their members ( TG, PTV, C93, Coil, Coum, C&C) Death Grips and Divine Styler ("Spiral walls containing Autumns of Light") deserve a mention. The live experience of Eugenics Council was similar to Hanatarash, as mace being sprayed over my head during song two was an immersive art-piece experience. Diamanda Galas - Litanies of Satan (It's a 2 song EP) - JPJ took interest this wild child but it had little impact on her trajectory. I agree that anything from Stapleton (NWW) or Zorn could be used. Claypool is a chameleon, him playing those 25 King Crimson albums in 25 days was intriguing ( look up his support musician Mike Dillon , that will connect to the rabbit-hole of Dallas music) Some unexpected mentions might be Xiu Xiu or New Fumes, interesting and still pushing boundaries, but not absurdist.

Yerself is Steam by Mercury Rev is also pretty out there, similar to the flaming lips album. Might be even weirder to be honest. Their album Boces has some odd moments too. Black Midi’s Schlagenheim has some fucking batshit insane moments. Also others will mention it too, but the Pod by ween is fucking weird but funny as hell. Very brown.
