This is yet another artist that a friend of mine has been telling me about for years and I just never gave them the time of day until now. Honestly, I became intrigued about them when they were featured as the “friends” in a line up of Phil Lesh and Friends last year. There’s nothingContinue reading “#974 – North Hills by Dawes”

I am finding myself listening to more and more music from down under. It seems like there’s a musical renaissance happening in Australia right now. Or maybe it just seems that way to me because I have been listening to a lot of material from there. Confirmation bias, perhaps?

These guys are a pretty cool, folky indie band from Seattle. I came across them on a lineup poster for an upcoming Southern California music festival.

One of my favorite things about diving into genres that I don’t know well is the discovery of artists and sub-genres that I didn’t know existed. The world of hip-hop is one of these, where I am constantly learning about how little I know.

Back to one of my old go-to album selection routes: the Relix Daily 7 email. It always provides a nice mix of news about artists that I care about and some introductions to some that I very often come to care about.

I’m not gonna lie, these guys are not exactly my cup of tea, but even with that caveat, this is still a pretty entertaining album.

I was listening to the metal opus that is Slayer’s Seasons in the Abyss and realized that it had been a while since I selected a good heavy album.

This artist really embodies the spirit of garage rock, with much of his catalog being self-produced in a modest home studio and able to be performed in a solo acoustic setting.

I’ve been getting lazy recently about the variety of genres that I’ve been selecting, so I’m going to be picking a lot more from other parts of the world that have been underrepresented. Today’s is from an Indian pop-rock artist.

These guys are a fixture of the jam band scene at this point, and have been recommended to me repeatedly by some of my more hippie-ish friends. Seems like it’s about time to dip my toe in.
