So most people know my favorite band is Portugal. The Man. I linked that song in the what you listening to topic. Their newest album American Ghetto is like really soul-y. Someone in a review said neo-soul. I don't know much about either of these, but I really dig this album so can anyone give any recs of anything similar from any time period, or maybe some classic soul stuff or whatever, just stuff that's really groovy, i'll link some of the Portugal songs to give an idea of what exactly I'm talking about. Any help is grand!!

i don't know, this sort of sounds like hipster music with choirs. occasional soul influences. maybe listen to MIKA!? i don't even have anything against this but yeah i can't really help with this.

coxwain nooo dont call this hipster
buddy, i call all (at least most because the sounds or musical elements are pretty recogniseable) modern indie pop/rock bands hipster. i don't attach any emotional or face value to that tag, at least not anymore. it's...something you recognize! all you can do about it is just 'deal with it'.
