Notes

The playlist started with an exploration of Sepia Times, a band that I had been introduced to while in Cebu. I was told that they were a bit hyper-poppish or drum and bass-y, and while I’m not hearing much of either, it was a great jumping off point for the rest of the list. IONE Morales and Annie Lux were new algorithm recommendations from this particular point. 

I also got to listen to more of Kubra Commander this week, and it’s really refreshing to hear a band execute that iconic Brit-rock sound from the nineties.

Good Tiger was an interesting listen and I was not expecting the hardcore-emo sound to find its way to me. However, it was also very apt seeing as how I attended an Anxious gig, so the music helped prepare me for the gig.

There were also inclusions of instrumental music with David Maxim Micic and The Surrealist, both of which play the instruments with virtuosity and dynamism.

However, a notable discovery for me this week would be No One There by Exhibition. I am definitely intrigued by the musicality of the band and will probably explore more in the coming cycles. 

I’m not really in a mood to write, but that’s also what happens when you keep things to the last minute, and sometimes it really is stifling to creativity, rather than coalescing into a spark of inspiration.
