This is a really interesting band. I learned of them through an article about their recording of the oldest known Scandinavian song. They also gained notoriety from a video of their first ever performance, which was for an audience of about 10,000 and featured a large cast of dancers dressed in historical costumes from allContinue reading “#833 – Drif by Heilung”

I read an article the other day about some of the more intense material on this album, specifically the song 29, which is about their relationship with Fez from That 70s Show. Apparently they started dating right when they turned 18 and he was 29, but had known each other for years already. Now thatContinue reading “#832 – HOLY FVCK by Demi Lovato”

I heard a single from this album a week or two ago, so I was looking forward to its release. Also, I thought the singer was one of the Johns from They Might Be Giants. Not so, apparently.

This album is part of a really cool series called World Psychedelic Classics. Nothing is going to get me behind your music quite like lyrics that repeatedly proclaim “there is no god, there is no heaven.” I love how loud and proud this guy is about his atheism.

These guys are a super fun and silly band. They have instantly shot to the top of my “must see live” to-do list.

It’s always good to start the day with a really energetic album, and these guys fit the bill nicely. The perfect accompaniment to keep me awake during an early morning commute. I also really like the vampire/strawberry/monster album art.

These guys came up in a conversation on the Phish subreddit. Someone asked for some artists who are similar to Phish but heavier, and this group was mentioned. I’m not sure why this person felt that that was an accurate description, but I do agree that they are a cool and interesting band.

In my continuing Linda Ronstadt obsession (still listening to her version of Little Feat’s “Willin’” a few times a day), I’ve been looking a bit at similar country vocalists. This group was mentioned, as they are a supergroup of amazing female singers, and they certainly do not disappoint.

I first came across this artist from the compilation album, The Space Project, which features an array of indie artists offering some of their spaciest sounds. Now that I’ve given this album the time of day, I’m astounded that it took me this long.

I just saw Idles at Coachella this past spring and they are the closest comparison I can make to the accent and delivery of the vocalist in this band. This is kind of like the hip-hop/electronic version of that sort of aggressive English energy that is so captivating in a live setting.
