Nights That Won't Happen by Purple Mountains
If it needs to be instrumental, the Disco Elysium soundtrack by British Sea Power is pretty excellent (though it goes through a bit of an emotional spectrum beyond malaise imo)
That Purple Mountains album is great. It's just heartbreaking that it ended up being a suicide note.
Incredibly so, sometimes I almost feel weird for sharing it because it is such a black pill of an album, but it's just such a perfect encapsulation of long term depression and beautiful and fucking funny, I can't help but adore it
That Purple Mountains is so good! I'd throw some Silver Jews in the mix for OP, too. Same singer as Purple Mountains
100%, I found Silver Jews American Water years ago and listened to it a million times but then kind forgot about them, and only found out about this project after seeing a news article along the lines of "former lead singer of Silver Jews kills himself, he'd recently released a solo album that in hindsight looks like an incredibly obvious cry for help, he was friends with the guys in Pavement and other more famous and well adjusted people, etc."
