Tennyson has at least one really good one that sounds a lot like BoC. Most of his other stuff doesn't, but you may consider adding these (especially the first one):

If you haven't heard Tennyson's other stuff, I recommend checking it out. Not really like BoC, but really really good nonetheless.

Ciaran Byrne has another project called Happiness Cage that is really good. These two are my favorites:

There's one song by Principles of Geometry that instantly screams BoC. Their other stuff not so much, but this one for sure:

Also, I said I wasn't gonna, but I guess I'll go ahead and shamelessly plug my own stuff here. Maybe it will make the cut:

Thanks for the mention man. I don't really post on here any more, but it's nice to see people still enjoy my (Ciaran Byrne) stuff.

Edit: and on that note, a couple by me from a couple of years back very much in a BoC vein...

oldboy's music is worth checking out. I'm not sure if it's intentional, but their work does a great job of emulating BoC's ambient/drone aesthetic.

I made this EP some years ago and BoC was my main inspiration. https://topdoc.bandcamp.com/track/a-pas ... -a-lean-to

Thanks for the great list, will take some time to listen to all of this. I've been looking for similar artists every now and then for many years. For some reason it never occured to me that there is a BoC fan forum.

Also Boreal Massif is also something you might want to consider adding to the list. https://pessimistproductions.bandcamp.c ... -impact-lp Slightly more dubby than BoC but I think there's some similarity.

maybe one day I'll make the list haha... Although my stuff is probably not close enough stylistically.


Can confirm Westfallian's stuff is really neat. Thanks for the info ^^

If someone put this up as a leaked Old tunes era album I'd believe it. Check their other stuff, pretty neat.
