White Noise - An Electric Storm (1969) An album which has been on my to-listen list for a while. I don't know what the hell is going on here but I love this. The first half of the album is very psychedelic but still has an element of pop. The second half is where it gets interesting, with the final track "Black Mass: An Electric Storm in Hell" sounding scary as fuck. You can also pick out the influence that this album has had in bands like Broadcast, Stereolab and tons others. A very unusual album to introduce someone to Cocteau Twins. Heaven or Las Vegas and Treasure are usually the gateway albums to the band's discography. But all their albums apart from Milk & Kisses are great.

Leonard Cohen - Songs of Leonard Cohen One of my favorite artists without a doubt at this point. Top 10 easy and moving up fast in my go to artists. A couple of the most amazing songs I've ever heard were off Songs of Love and Hate and now I'm jumping into this beauty right here. Just lovely. Gives me a lot of the same vibes I get while listening to Joanna Newsom except tinged with more melancholy. |

Bowerbirds - Hymns for a Dark Horse Wasn't expecting I was gonna enjoy this one so much. I believe the instrument I'm really liking that I'm hearing is an accordion. Accordions are the ****, plain and simple. Accordions and nice folk music is even better. |

Perpetual by Robert Rich "A Somnium Contiuum". good lord its longer! I had no idea this came out last year so im catching up now. ~40 min in out of 8 hours which I will obviously not be able to complete in one sitting. very tranquil (well duh) and worthy of being the follow up to Somnium |
