music that is like still and muffled and stuff

I just watched In the Mood for Love and I feel the need to remain in the world it threw me into, but I seem to be lacking on the musical front. This being the only thing that's really doing it for me 100%:

what else do I need?

maybe Richard Youngs' 'The Graze of Days' works too. Actually also his album with Makoto Kawabata.

Inuit throat singing.

Arthur Russell - Treehouse (can't find the right video)

Also, Song Song Song by Final Fantasy

Probably not what you're looking for but the first thing I thought of when I saw "muffled" was the new album from Belong - first listen reminded me of what pop music would be like if you filtered it through William Basinski.

ya I think I scuppered my project by the 'first thought best thought'ness of that coming to mind.

thanks all for the recommendations and reminders (e.g. 'Strings of Nashville' which it must be five years since I last listened to).

When you said still and muffled, that was the first thing I thought of--it sounds like it was recorded under a blanket, which I love

What do you guys mean by "still"? Apologies.

Faces seconded.
