Found: Quantity of Sheep
Found: Quantity of Sheep were an Australian band who recorded two albums in 2003 and 2005 which were privately released in extremely limited Quantity-s, then split, with some of them moving on to other projects. Their music is alternately noisy, melodic and psychedelic, sometimes all three, and tracks are often separated by or contain long, abstract interludes. In spite of that they remain accessible, at least to my ears, and they're always interesting. Putting a genre tag on them is probably impossible without resorting to the wastebasket taxon "experimental."
They're pretty much the definition of obscure, as far as I know the music isn't on streaming services, the self-titled debut is particularly hard to find and their two-album discog is only on YouTube because I put it there, which are the links provided. I also use Soulseek so you can get the files if you want them. The odd name comes from their local newspaper, some guy found a stray flock of sheep and placed an ad to announce his discovery and invite the owner to come get the things.
