Mostly posting music I'm listening to. Weighted towards heavy sounds. Open to recommendations. Love exploring and discovering new sounds.
Over compensated for my lack of Amen Ra experience. Starting with Mass VI.

Not sure how I’ve not heard Amen Ra before because this is exactly the kind of black/post metal I like. Can also add to the category of bands I’ve discovered shortly after they gig locally. #metalsky #blackmetal #postmetal

Putting on another #arctangent band and another first for me. Oathbreaker are an instant must see. Shifting effortlessly from melodic and haunting to high intensity.

Got a bit more shoegaze in today.
New EP from a promising band. Definitely got the dream-pop, noisier shoegaze sound that I like. Creates a really big sound, with solid bass lines and drums behind it.

It's a black metal day, and this is a great way to start it. I love occultism/spiritualism themes in my black metal and this is rich with them. Another band to dive into.

And got home to the sound of Panchiko. Finding out if they stretch beyond a resurrected 25-year-old curiosity with more recent music (although much of it started 20+ years ago). Mostly they do, only wavering when they stray from a glitchier, trippy sound.

The unexpected (musical) highlight of the trip was JJJJJerome Ellis and this sparse, experimental piece of jazz. Perfect for night time driving. Now needs to be heard on a proper sound system without background road buzz.

Started the return journey with a recent favourite from Just Mustard. Love this noisy, shoegazey album. Ethereal vocals, noisy fuzz, tight drums. Perfect. Seeing them live in Bristol next year.

Final album on the outbound journey was a winner. Odonis Odonis gives us a good blend of post-punk and synth pop with fantastic work on the drums. Distraction is a highlight track for me.

Shifted to a more shoegaze/alt-rock/post-punk setup for much of the rest of the journey. I found Double Scoop to be an easy listen, quite catchy, the sort of music I'd enjoy at a gig, but also not something I felt a connection with. Enjoyed and then moved on.

Started out with some interesting alt pop. Beautiful vocals, that's probably the biggest hook here. Strongest when pared back and focused on vocals, weakest a couple of tracks that lean hard into pop.

Family road trip yesterday, which means I listened to a lot of new music while driving (but also chose genres that my wife would find acceptable). So 6 albums mixing pop, post-punk and some jazz - list to follow...

Earlier today I had my first, but definitely not last, listen to Blut Aus Nord. This is a beast of a black metal album. I have a lot more to learn here.

It's short and sweet. And it's ethereal, pop-y shoegaze. A nice find in my new music playlist this week. I'll be looking out for a tour.

Alcest are an immediate must see for #arctangent. Thought it might be a bit too uplifting - I kind of like gloomy music - but it hit the right spot. Perfectly timed for my mood actually.

And it turns out I enjoy Napalm Death more than I anticipated. It's loud and aggressive and I'm not sure much else, but it was kind of fun. Reckon they'll be worth an #arctangent watch at the least.

Been on an #Arctangent line-up binge today. Started with SikTh and an album that divided me. I think I like it, but I'm not completely sure. At least until the live tracks on the deluxe version. They sounded great live. So, I'm in for the festival at least.

Discomforting band name, pretty good album.
Got that hardcore energy and mathcore depth. Was surprised how fun it was and now regret passing on seeing them playing here a couple a week ago.
