    i woke up the other day with this BeeGee’s cover from Feist on my mind — Inside and Out — i’ve begun queuing it up before i listen to my normal dark techno mix and stuff in the mornings.

    The Woods : Lydia The Bard Random discovery. I tend to get obsessed with an album for a bit and this is that for this week.

    There's a new Goldfinger album out! https://music.apple.com/us/album/nine-lives/1859083111. It's great so far! Hard to believe they've been making music so long. Their best-of album came out in 2005.

    new listen, in the folk genre:

    https://open.spotify.com/album/2VmR757Ru6qAQOUXLk2E7o?si=O0uMcRrjQrOa57_gOWFciw

    Lovely tunes, just the right mix of folky vocals and guitar. The Lakeman family has some gosh darned talent, and no mistake.

    I was itching for some nostalgic feeling tunes so I started exploring synthwave music for the first time on Bandcamp, here are the ones I nabbed in the same order I got them:

    • Endless Summer (2016) by The Midnight - First one I checked out and holy cow it is amazing. Every track is a slam dunk, it was exactly what I was hoping synthwave would be. This whole thing is a mood, I had it on repeat for two days straight while working before I decided I needed to hunt down some more.

    • GUNSHIP (2015) by GUNSHIP - Also straight back-to-back bangers. I'm not a music critic so I don't know the right words to use--this one feels a little heavier/crunchier than Endless Summer, less "floaty," but definitely scratches that same 80s-vibes-amplified-beyond-all-reason niche.

    • Scandroid (2016) by Scandroid - I'll just be repeating what I said about the other two albums if I try to explain how great this is. I splurged for the physical CD on this one since it was available and I love it so much (nearly went for the vinyl, but cooler heads prevailed).

    Some other bands I've seen mentioned in the same breath as these are Kavinsky and Perturbator, so I'll probably check them out some time soon too, but right now it's taking all my willpower to not snatch up the full back catalogs from the three I already mentioned above. Lord have mercy on my wallet.
