Notes

I was feeling a little lost with what to listen to on the new week, so I broke out of Spotify to check out what was being curated on BBC Sounds. There was a podcast episode for 6 Music Artist in Residence featuring Fontaines D.C. The song Still by Just Mustard came on and I was immediately hooked.

Dark, droning, sinister, and primal, it has all the makings of no-wave punk elements that I love. It’s encouraging that music like this is still being made in 2022, but from another perspective it is no surprise because even subcultures can be universal amongst the fragments.

deepfake stood out for me with its punkish minimalism and seductive vocal performance in French. Are they really French? I don’t know.

The Chambord remix of Radiohead’s Reckoner is a thrilling electronic dance music remix with a heart-pounding tempo and psy-trance elements. I would happy get lost in its swirl of ever-expanding consciousness.

I discovered 72-HOUR POST FIGHT through Spotify’s recommended albums.

72-HOUR POST FIGHT’s 2022 album, NON-BACKGROUND MUSIC features some great avant free-form jazz. They hail from Italy.

A Nambra by Mong Tong surfaced after NON-BACKGROUND MUSIC ended. The bassline was what immediately hooked me, although the rather sleazy wah-wah guitars also made me sit up to take notice. Mong Tong hail from Taiwan, and their 2020 album, Mystery 秘神, is a mashup of sleazy funk, psychedelic soul, and other-wordly sounds.

A slightly shorter list this week, but a good springboard to more unique genres in the coming weeks.
