What’s the extent of Neil Young Influence on Alt-Country?

A lot of the sounds I hear coming from Alt Country records leave me wondering how much the artist is Neil Young influenced. A lot of the guitar tones, songwriting, overall production and mainly the pacing & tone of the lead vocals give me so many NY vibes.

I’m not super knowledgeable in the Alt-Country field as much as I love the genre so I don’t know the answer to this. I especially hear it in records like MJ Lenderman’s Manning Fireworks and Jason Molinas Magnolia Electric Co

Im also not super familiar with loads of albums in the field so if anyone has any recommendations they would be appreciated.

Exploring Electronic Music

I’m completely new to exploring electronic music. I have listened to a few albums (that are at least labelled “electronic” by Apple Music) and found myself enjoying them a lot. For example the new Squarepusher LP and the In a Beautiful Place Out In the Country EP by Boards of Canada

This got me digging into all the types of music branching out of the electronic genre and wondering where to start in terms of understanding them and exploring them

I’ve been enjoying the more ambient and experimental sounding stuff but I am aware of Jungle, House, Techno, Hardstyle ect but don’t really know what they are musically/sound wise or really any musicians within them off of the top of my head. If anyone has any brief information about these sub-genres or any recommendations of any type of electronic please let me know!
