Notes

One of the most exciting listens this past week has been SAULT. It scratches that afrobeat itch I left behind in October last year as I started to listen to more classical and contempoary classical music. Now that the group has been brought to my attention, I am happily listening to the unit combine elements of afrobeat, jazz, R&B, funk, and soul to create a wonderful amalgation of rhytmns, groove, soul and attitude. Definitely someone on my 2021 interest list.

I also gave some attention to Bill Callahan for some reliable alt-folk, as well as felt very nostalgic for Singapore band Concave Scream’s brand of dreampop-shoegaze rock. Seriously, the distorted guitar tones put me in a sort of aching trance.
