So in this thread you can recommend your favorite artists with less than 500 followers. 

To insert a Spotify Play Button just: 

1. Pick a track from the artist/ band. 

2. Right click and select Copy Embed Code.

This is a playlist I put together of people I've discovered through CDBaby. All the artists have less than 500 followers on Spotify. I think these people are very talented and I want to share them with the Spotify community.

 Saw these guys at a gig in London supporting Russell Lissack from Bloc Party.  Only got one album on Spotify but well worth a listen.  They're from Belfast.

He began playing music as a teenager and formed his first band lowercase; “a guitar-drums duo that played a weird hybrid of minimal lo-fi pop, post-rock and slo-core.” They were signed to the seminal noise rock label Amphetamine Reptile. In 2001, he formed the psychedelic folk-rock group alaska! in addition to briefly joining Lou Barlow’s Folk Implosion.

His first self-titled solo album was released in 2006 on Kill Rock Stars. The record featured minimal, acoustic songs with psychedelic influences, reminiscent of Skip Spence’s Oar and Syd Barrett’s Opel,

Wasif’s second album, Strange Hexes, was recorded in Los Angeles and self-released in 2008

Wasif’s third album, The Voidist, was released in 2010

 I first heard this track in the movie "Dummy" and loved it immediately. I don't know why it wasn't all over indie radio. I think it's great! Very melodic.

I originally heard this track as the soundtrack to a wonderful performance video involving giant marionettes called The Little Girl Giant. The song features vocal samples from the dearly departed Blossom Dearie.
