The Music
4 categories every week. Personal Pick. Song of the Week. Rising. And one more :). Feel free to just give them a listen or read what I think!
Personal Pick
Just some stuff I have been listening to lately that I think you should too.
The War on Drugs
I found this band while working in Alaska (shoutout Marie) and they are a little bit bigger than most bands I cover on this page, with almost 2 million monthly listeners. I decided I still wanted to include them because I havent heard of them and I cant be the only one. They have such a unique sound that feels entirely their own. They seem to jam early 2000s alternative vocals and with a bit of 80s synth wave and it just sounds so good. Check out Red Eyes, Pain, and Thinking of a Place. If you arent hooked then send me a message and feel free to call me names.
SONG OF THE WEEK
My favorite song this week. thats about it.
Uneasy - Metronomy and Spill Tab
One of the grooviest songs I have heard this year. This one is most likely going to be a long timer on the playlists. It reminds me of Still Woozy if he leaned a little bit more house.
Rising Album
Hickey by Royel Otis
Standouts here are Car. I Hate This Tune. Moody.
More of what made Royel Otis explode onto the scene in this album. They have been growing and growing and there is no surprise why. They sound like pop to me but of course the alt rock roots are audible in every song. This album doesnt break any new ground for them honestly but they really seem to have stepped into their sound. There isnt a single song on this album I would consider a miss. Check it out
3 for the price of 1 !!
