    Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if my life trajectory went slightly differently if I discovered them back in 2002 as well.

    Love Gunship, been a fan since their eponymous album (though no such track yet, haha) and I’ve been listening to Unicorn pretty regularly since its release.

    I haven’t heard of Your Inland Empire, but I like their sound from the track you linked. I’ll have to check out more of them.

    I don’t listen to The Midnight a lot, but they are what immediately come to mind for retrowave with vocals.

    Since we’ve only discussed artists with vocalists, I’m not going to go too deep into non-vocalist solo artists but I love darksynth, so I gotta give shout outs to Pertubator and Carpenter Brut who are the goats of the genre and have several tracks with featured vocalists. And a much more obscure darksynth artist without vocals I am going to recommend is Orax’s Love Kills the Demon as it emotionally vibes closer to TBM than a lot of other things for me.

    A bit more mainstream, Shiny Toy Guns has some similar energy to TBM, more so on their first and third albums, though I guess they’ve been on hiatus for 10+ years now.

    Let me know if any of this tickle your fancy. I didn’t pick out any real goth stuff, but I should have been asleep hours ago, ha

    Oop, I am bad at checking replies.

    Yeah, TBM is criminally underplayed. If they hadn’t shown up on a Pandora station for me some 15 or so years ago, I don’t know if or when I would have encountered them. Glad you’re enjoying them! They have a really unique sound that scratches an itch in my brain that no one else really does.

    I’d be happy to trade music recs as I’m big into retrowave and some goth as well.

    This doesn’t fit the prompt in a technical sense, but does so thematically:

    The band originally known as Imagica changed their name due to overlap with another artist. For one week they went by Nothing and Nowhere (shared with their first album and a track that would appear on a later album) before settling on their current name, The Birthday Massacre. The Birthday Massacre was the original third track of the Nothing and Nowhere LP, but was renamed Happy Birthday during the band’s final name change.
