I'm new to Reddit, but not new to Dark Academia. While I enjoy some of the music suggested for themed playlists, I've been branching out beyond the usual Hozier, Lorde, and Gang of Youths, and adding my own moody 80s twists (because obviously you cannot go wrong with early goth, for starters!). It would be fab to trade suggestions and playlists, too. What are some of your more unusual/lesser known non-classical DA bands/albums/songs?
