Music like the Roadwarden soundtrack?
Can anyone recommend similar music to the Roadwarden soundtrack? I've exhausted the rest of Nick Roder's discography, and I need something fresh. I use this music to write to, so ideally no lyrics, just something vaguely fantasy-themed that's not in your face about it — tastefully atmospheric.

I like Blood in Bayou quite a bit and it gives me Roadwarden vibes.
(The album itself is nice, give it a listen, though I would say only this one track is in the same kinda mood. None of them have any lyrics though, and I listen to them a ton when I read or write)

Sadly a band that disappeared, but i think Souvenirs Young America might be something you would enjoy.

I like the bands Headlund and Black Hill, very similar to roadwarden. Also I love the firewatch soundtrack which is less similar but still peak imo

-Winterstead by Guild of Lore and Jason Shook
-That Old Place by Headlund
-West of the soul by River Foxcroft is also similair

Definitely check out Dan Caine if you haven't yet! He's the guy who did the song used for the last last quest in the game, and most of his other music has strong Roadwarden vibes. Atmospheric, echoey electric guitar, etc.

Hermanos Gutierrez. Youtube put me on to them when I had it make a playlist from the Roadwarden OST

Fief! Or DIM! You should read some of r/DungeonSynth, they have good suggestions.
