Micshazam's album and song picks

~~MicShazam~~ · 01-15-2019, 06:45 AM

Various noteworthy tracks I found on the internet:

Charming Hostess - Elenke

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vRYkS7MhNc

Holy. ****.

Curve - Horror Head

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4xMR7mYPWU

This is... very 90's. Possibly too much of a good thing? I kinda dig the atmosphere a bit though.

JINJER - Perennial

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJgkkYX-QYw

I'll get their new EP any day now. I haven't heard this track because I'm choosing not to spoil any more of this disc ahead of time. Hopefully it's good!

Barbara Morgenstern - Angel's Whisper

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSpFasrvTho

The second single from her amazing 2018 album "Unschuld und Verwüstung". It's got some pretty cool moments for sure. Very good use of backing vocals especially.

Some cool music from 2018 and 2019:

Gaye Su Akyol - Hemşerim Memleket Nere

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovtSJVtkwho

Turkish singer and anthropologist fronting a rock band with some cool, groovy Turkish tunes and more atmosphere than you'll know what to do with.
A late game contender for my favorite album of 2018 (titled "İstikrarlı Hayal Hakikattir" - didn't get the CD until January this year).

10 songs: All great. I highly recommend checking it out, but I'm me, so you won't do that. But you should!

Sarah Louise - Nighttime Birds and Morning Stars

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhBT9GECvCo

One of the new 2019 albums that I'm quite interested in. This is the title track from the album. Seems very expressive and I really dig the feelings conjured up here. Sarah Louise is a 12 string guitar player but uses it in some unconventional ways. Pretty interesting.

Jade Bird - Love Has All Been Done Before

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42XPnh4VGlI

Jade Bird putting out a self-titled debut this year. I really dig the energetic indie rock that seems to come with both some attitude, strong songwriting and an idiosyncratic singing style. I'm sometimes reminded a bit of 90's alt-songwriters, but it also sounds very modern. Very high on my list of must-have albums.

Blood Red Shoes - Mexican Dress

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOUhXdt2fbg

Some peppy and catchy indie pop rock from the band's 2019 album "Get Tragic". I really dig the mix of elements on display here. The reasons why I find this so appealing are hard to convey, since they're all in the minute details of the aesthetic of the music on display here.
