It’s a Beautiful Place
Water From Your Eyes
Artful and imaginative combo of guitars, electronica and indie pop. They’re new to me despite this being their 7th album…really liked it.

Day 12 - LAX
(Album: Possible Dust Clouds)
The one on this list that’s most akin to Throwing Muses. The album’s generally heavier and louder than the majority of her solo work too.

Gods Own Medicine - The Mission
Must be the long winter nights but feeling nostalgic for some of these old goth classics….the gigs, the friends, the memories. Sure this has the odd cringe moment (Love Me to Death) but also a fair few bangers (Wasteland, Sacrilege, Bridges Burning) 🖤🎶

Bit of reminiscing on a Sunday morning inspired by @tansleyjames.bsky.social recent 80’s and 90’s challenges. Thanks James for bringing back those memories!
These six albums pretty much defined my late teens (85-90) 🖤
