Notes

A lot of post-punk, post-rock, and post-hardcore feature in this week’s playlist.

I am still head over heels with Sinead O Brien, and I love their approach to instrumentation, melody, groove, and vocal performance.

Planted A Thought features a unique cello arrangement.

I liked the start-stop rock energy on Sweet. Reminds me of my teenage angst.

Sofa Surfing is really well-executed post-punk hardcore, and really makes me want to sling that bass guitar again.

Please enjoy Farmhands and Scratchcard Lanyard. It really is a mood when you’re listening to such songs. As Dry Cleaning sings, “Do everything and feel nothing.”

I really enjoy the ideas presented on Butt No Rifle and Alexa!

Finally, I stumbled upon some music by Tamar Aphek. The ones I selected for the playlist were rather frenetic and thus, I enjoyed them as such.
