    The Talking Heads - Remain in Light 31, punk, metal, psych rock fan. Never listened to talking heads much except for whenever "burning down the house" came on the radio and turned me off of them....

    The Talking Heads - Remain in Light

    31, punk, metal, psych rock fan. Never listened to talking heads much except for whenever "burning down the house" came on the radio and turned me off of them.

    But this album feels like it was made for me. It has the right amount of weirdness, the right amount of esoteric insight, the right amount of riff droning that necessitates a head bob and a critical ear to hear the sporadic hits and unique charms.

    The album makes me feel I'm meeting a stranger at the pub and they show me the underbelly of the city and I learn something about myself.

    I’ve been listening to a few very different, recent albums that I’ve really enjoyed. Disclaimer: I’m terrible at describing genres these days. Emma Harner - Evening Star. Not sure how to describe...

    1. Emma Harner - Evening Star. Not sure how to describe her music exactly. I found her through YouTube and was amazed by her voice in combination with her intricate fingerpicked riffs that seemed impossible to play simultaneously. Really excellent songwriting.
    2. underscores - U. Very fun, pop, semi experimental. Reminds me a bit of Caroline Polachek. Excellent sound design.
    3. The Dear Hunter - Sunya. Really great experimental, orchestral prog rock album.
    4. Angine de Poitrine - Vol.II. Microtonal, experimental, so strange but so fun.
