What Are You Listening To Now?

[Kualo she/her]

I am listening to Agalloch's The White EP. I never have enough of their folkish tunes. What a pity they disbanded.

[Wander89 he/him]

The new Blink 182 may, or may not, have leaked. That's my productivity gone!

For a while there it was A R I Z O N A, a band I discovered after they were featured on Tim, Avicii's last album (the song is called Hold the Line and it's one of my favorites from said album). I found and loved GALLERY and some of their other music. 

Now, however, it's the album Alder Lane Farm by the Sweet Tea Project! The STP was started by Ed Roland, the frontman for my favorite band (Collective Soul). Their first album from a few years ago had some good songs, but was overall meh in my opinion. This second one though is amazing! It actually came out two years ago, and I'm frankly embarrassed it took me this long to find it and listen to it.

Is it the same style as Collective Soul, or different?

(And what's your favourite song of Blood?)

It’s a bit different, more country/folk-ish. I believe the genre is called Americana? (At least that’s how Apple classifies it.)

As for Blood, asking me to choose my favorite song is like asking me to choose my favorite finger. It’s just not that easy.  It really depends on my mood — right now, I’d have to choose between Observation of Thoughts or Big Sky.  What’s yours?

Hmm... well I'll give them a try I think. But I'm not sure if that suits me.

It depends. At the moment it's Good place to start, sometimes Crushed or Observation of Thoughts. But it changes from time to time.

I am listening to Heilung, brilliant tribal sound. I love them, Danheim and Forndom.

 

[Zurvanight he/him]

The battle theme of the Enforcers: The Phantom Thief Bleublanc, Bewitching Bell Luciola, and Walter the Direwolf. There's a vocal version too but the super arrange instrumental version is so much better.

No worries if they're not your thing! The Sweet Tea Project has a rather different sound. It just so happens that like that sound, at least when Ed Roland is behind it.  (He does sing most of the songs, but a few are by another member of the band. I don't mind; I like his voice too, but it's something to be aware of.)

Good choices! All three of those are amazing.  My favorites shift as well (another one I adore is Right as Rain).

Again, no worries! Thanks for trying them out, at least!

Don't thank me for that! I had to give them a try, given how successfully you recommended Collective Soul to me

[Wander89 he/him]

Everyone should listen to The Glorious Sons new album now and thank me later. Great rock music!

I'm glad you like CS so much, at any rate.  It's good to share the joy!

[Eluvianii he/him]

I discovered this a few days ago and it took it about sixty seconds to become one of my favorite songs.

 

[Kualo she/her]

Dead Can Dance's Anastasis CD. Children of the Sun is such an enchanting song.

That it is---though, by coincidence, I listened to People of the Sun last night, and that's what popped up in my mind upon reading the song title.  Similar name, slightly different vibe...

[Hood he/him]

This Spanish song is amazing. The best I have ever listened to.

Labios Rotos (MTV Session) by Zoé

[+AbroadKew he/him]

Iridescence by Brockhampton, all of it. The entire album is amazing. There isn't a single bad song on the album. My favorite though is San Marcos. If you have any appreciation for hip-hop/rap then this album is worth a full listen.

The audio book for Skyward.  Still not sure how I feel about it to be honest.  The book is fantastic, but the narrator doesn't quite hit the men's voices all that well.
