FYI I see a typo on the short list. Frankie and the Witch Fingers. (Awesome band by the way)

You were right!

I haven't gotten to this one yet but it sounds apppealing. It's on my list of things to check out to this week

Enjoying my Sunday morning coffee with Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation!

Thanks to Polydextrous@lemmy.world for reminding me of this awesome album!

Here's a song I like from 1992!

Leave Them All Behind - Ride

Honorable mention: all of Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works 85-92

It's my turn to post an R.E.M song! Also not a duet but that's okay.

When I was a kid my sister bet me that I couldn't memorize all the lyrics to this song... I proved her wrong! And I still remember most of it!

🎶 It's the end of the world as we know it! 🎶

It was actually their 2013 tour when I saw them. So two years after this video. I was thinking it was earlier than that. I saw them at a small venue called Akron Musica in Akron, Ohio, USA.

I saw them live probably around the time this video was made! It was really cool to see them do their thing with the loop pedals.

 

New album by The Armed. This has more of a rock sound then their previous works which had this interesting blend of hardcore and noise pop. Honestly I didn't love their previous works that much but they were always unique so I wanted to check this out. Although it's not as unique I'm finding myself really enjoying this. It just sounds very well put together if that makes any sense. Song whip below!

Yes. The fast-paced vocals work perfectly for the bluegrass style

[–] kvn@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

Very cool. I like hearing that bassline on an upright bass

[–] kvn@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

Oh man. This is excellent.

Enter Sandman

Here is a cover of Taylor Swift's Love Story by black midi. Their bassist who doesn't often perform vocals sings here. And they added a saxophone solo!

Love Story

 

Youth Lagoon/Trevor Powers has a really interesting and unique sound that's kinda hard to describe. Here is Youth Lagoon performing Rabbit from their most recent album Heaven is a Junkyard.

Full performance here.

 

I love this cover. Casey Crescenzo has an awesome voice.

 

Another record released today that I'm enjoying. This is Margaret Glaspy's third album but the first I've heard from her. I'd describe it as bluesy alternative. Great vocals and lyrics. And I love the details from the bass and drums throughout the album. Songwhip below!

I'm enjoying this debut album from Irish group Naked Lungs. It's like a darker doomier Fontaines DC.

Just came across this British post-punk group on YouTube. I love their energy. It looks like they released their debut EP last year. Hopefully we get more from them soon!

 

This is from NPRs tiny desk series home edition during covid times. This performance by Men I Trust is perfect for just chilling out at the end of the day. Relax and enjoy!

 

The harp is an underutilized instrument in my opinion. Here's some "Harp Rock" from singer/harpist Mikaela Davis.

Here's an album I've been enjoying from Glasgow sibling duo comfort released a few months ago. I'd describe it as punk with experimental electronic sounds and witty social commentary. Songwhip below. Enjoy!

I'm really liking this debut by Australia's Rin McArdle. This actually came out last week but I'm calling it fresh anyways. She's friends with Courtney Barnett so you know it'll be good. Songwhip link and an NME article about her below.
