Sometimes, when you're looking for something fun to listen to while enjoying the last bit of the weekend, the answer is an album from #Greenland called "Whale Dick" with song titles such as "Hangry Iceberg", "Gay for Satan", "Eat the Rich", and, of course, the title track (featuring throat singing from #TanyaTagaq).
En ce moment on recherche des concerts pour le printemps (et l'été) avec mon groupe dirishu6, si ça vous intéresse ou que vous avez des plans n'hésitez pas. :blobcat_nwn:
Le style c'est proche des sons 90's, Sonic Youth, shoegaze, slowcore, DIIV, etc....
On sort un album début avril qu'on a pas encore du tout diffusé mais l'ancien EP est toujours dispo : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HE5pc4E7bY
I was going to wait until next Wednesday for Music Women Wednesday for this one, but I need to talk about this album right now.
'Precious Dream' by Hot Garbage came out today and I just finished listening to it. It's perfect. More than likely will make my top 20 this year unless 20 other amazing albums somehow surpass it. I doubt they will. Both Juliana and Alex Carlevaris sing, they're siblings. It's like psych, garage, post punk, shoegaze? But there's also some wild bluesy and dark country-ish vibes. It's amazing fuckin SONGWRITING is what it is. This is Hot Garbage's second album, now I gotta check out their first.
#GreatAlbums1980s - #MyBloodyValentine – Isn't Anything (1988). Sounding like nothing in its time, this LP is a jarring mix of swimming melodies, obscured vocals, and effects-laced guitars that twinkle one moment, spew sheets of noise the next. “Cupid Comes” sounds like a power pop band coming unhinged after a sleepless night. “Feed Me with Your Kiss” is a raging wall of fuzz against which Kevin Shields and Bilinda Butcher fight for air. Nineties shoegaze begins here.
They Are Gutting a Body of Water brings a different perspective to shoegaze with their quirky shifts and the lighter sonic palate they bring into their otherwise fuzzy sound.
lowkey obsessed with this alvin and the chipmunks soundcloud project where every track is slowed to 16bpm. it’s dark and drippy and haunting and sorta fkd up—extremely my shit
#23From2023 - #Slowdive - Everything is Alive (Dead Oceans). Seldom does a band on a second career run match the quality of their work 30 years earlier. I'm not saying this release tops Souvlaki, but Slowdive's deeper plunge into billowy dreampop is a natural progression from 2017's comeback effort. I miss the Cocteau Twins so damn much, and while "Alife" and "Kisses" aren't that, Neil Halstead and company bring a similarly keen melodic factor to their new work.
Shoegaze, the 30-year-old subgenre of indie rock, is back, thanks to social media and streaming. Pitchfork takes a look at how bands like Slowdive, Drop Nineteens and Duster are finding new audiences and making new music. They're also influencing a new generation of musicians, from South Korea's Parannoul to Zoon's Daniel Monkman, an Indigenous artist based in Toronto who makes "moccasin gaze."
Yesterday evening my friends' band and another band posted up at a locally owned record store to play a couple sets as a fundraiser for the SIMS Foundation.
SIMS offers free mental health and substance abuse services for professional musicians -AND- their families.
Ooit dacht ik dit klusje wel ff snel te klaren, Nu, 2 jaar later pak ik de draad weer op (was ongeveer op 1/4 blijven steken).
Ik begin met Insta screenshots van wat ik al gedaan had, voor een complete serie hier.
O/n Ik ga al onze platen draaien, alle LP's, EP's en singles. En daar uiteraard verslag van doen. Mijn allereerste single heb ik helaas niet meer: Sandy van John Travolta. Als muzieksnob zeg ik daar wel meteen bij dat 'ie op transparant vinyl was.
First time I heard Les Discrets was at #Roadburn 2015 and was immediately mesmerized by the sheer beauty of their music. This album is equally excellent.
