On election day, when the results were coming in a Trump was emerging as the winner, I was super-bummed out, and I went for a drive in my car. I grabbed Seamonsters by Wedding Present. All of those songs are just about relationships, but it took me back to a comfortable state of misery.

I think the recording style of Steve Albini is pretty fitting.

Interesting... I love that album. (Too bad "what did your last servant die of" is not on there, in a thematic sense).

I always viewed Albini's recordings as extraordinarily "honest" (or "naturalist") which may have some tensions with the current state of things.

Interesting idea!

Sonically I'll take the blunt lurching queasiness of Abul Mogard or numb anticipation of Rafael Anton Irisarri.

Lyrically, say Broadcast's Until Then or Superchunk's Erasure.

If we're just looking for apt titles then the whole of The Decline Of British Sea Power will do, if you view Brexit as the last self-destructive spasm of English empire.
Distance-crunching honcho with echo unit.
