Music of the Week - July 10, 2023
Here's our weekly thread!
What have you been obsessing over this week? What songs have been stuck in your head? What do you find yourself singing over and over again, or always hitting that repeat button on?
Share something cool with someone else, and hopefully discover something awesome for yourself!
I came across some Bluegrass I like. I am more of an electronic, metal guy... But, folk music and Bluegrass is amazing when it is well done.
If you are interested... The Kody Norris Show – https://thekodynorrisshow.bandcamp.com/music
Also liked this little ambient EP: Myuthafoo by Caterina Barbieri – https://caterinabarbieri.bandcamp.com/album/myuthafoo
The first single from Gunship's new album dropped yesterday and it's pretty good. They got Tim Cappello again and I am a huge sucker for the dark synth with a ripping sax solo vibe so I've been enjoying it.
I've had Speak Now (Taylor's Version) on repeat since it released.
Also really been enjoying getting back into Rush with their 2011 live album, Time Machine.
I've been listening to Blondie this week.
Blackbraid - Blackbraid II (Black Metal)
I honestly need to credit Jon for his work as a one man band. The first Blackbraid album last year helped me re-discover a love for black metal. And this album is an improvement in almost every way.
I've been listening to a lot of instrumental metal lately (all the awesome sound, none of the incoherent screaming or terrible rapping) and found the 2018 album Controlled Chaos by Nita Strauss. Her playing is fantastic - I especially love the second track from that album Alegria.
