None of the music posted on here causes me frisson. This is why I won't post songs that never fail to give me frisson because everyone's tastes are different. But anything by Squarepusher is an exception :)

What a surprise reading your comment citing Nightwish! When I read the post headline, I immediately thought about the Nightwish song "Amaranth". It was really the most powerful, memorable and long lasting frisson I had ever experienced.

#134It's been a while I haven't felt goosebumps, I used to feel them a lot when discovering new aesthetic songs.
I guess ASMR can still give me some but it would be nice if there was an online recommender system/community for songs that especially are prone to give goosepumps, beside this specific playlist. ideally one would look for goosebumps inducing zick constrained within a specific genre.
I love to see if people get goosebumps with a high probability at the same time in a song.

One of the definitive examples has to be Radiohead's How to Disappear Completely [1]. 2 or 3 great frisson moments in there. The big one is toward the end, when the strings decay and smudge into atonal textures (very very heavily influenced by the 20th-century composer Penderecki) and then suddenly come back into focus as the song climaxes.
It's just so incredibly well-done that I feel like even people who only listen to classical and jazz, or whatever, would have to acknowledge they really landed something there.

#136My absolute favourite is Nara by E.S. Posthumus. For me it brings Frisson to a whole new level. It's not just (strong) goosebumps, but an almost overwhelming feeling.

Intro to Money for nothing gets me every time. When the chaos resolves to that crunchy riff i get chills. You need to listen to it where the drums are actually hitting you though.
If you like that, I suspect you'd enjoy Breaking Into Heaven[1] by The Stone Roses. It is a much longer walk (as in a few minutes long), but I highly recommend sitting through the chaos until it resolves, as you say. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nu5YLoaxHc
The last few minutes of I Am the Resurrection by The Stone Roses are pretty reliable for me.

I notice that most frisson moments have a nostalgia connection for me, possibly unlocking the feeling I had experiencing that thing at a younger age when everything seemed more awesome.
Some examples, each about 10 seconds before.

High pitched vocals also often do it: https://youtu.be/bo_efYhYU2A?t=96

One of my favourites is Symptom of the universe by Black Sabbath. It's a classic Sabbath style tune with a hard hitting riff, solid drums, vocals and all that. The song seems to be winding down after the 4 minute mark with a standard fade out. But then something magical starts at 4:23. Gives me the chills every single time. https://youtu.be/4qDYa2aIBxw
It feels like this is an example of a song structure that frequently leads to frisson, where you have a standard pop song (verse-chorus, repeated about 3x, maybe a solo), a long instrumental part that feels like an outtro and often has irregular rhythms or key changes...and then the song reconvenes with a vocal part that's either a small variation on the original pop song or something totally different. Other example…

I got an unskippable YT double ad at exactly 3:42. I hate YT so freaking much.
