Notes

This week’s playlist came about from listening to two albums, Restless Spirit’s Blood of the Old Gods (2021) and Insect Ark’s Raw Blood Singing (2024). These two albums really stood out as I was exploring deeper into both bands because of how much their music stood out to me in the previous playlist.

The rest of the playlist is made up of other bands from the desert rock or heavy rock genres that are adjacent to Restless Spirit, as well as songs from Emma-Jean Thackray’s new album, Weirdo (2025)

All in all, I really enjoyed re-exploring these rock, sludge, and noise sub-genres, as well as the progressive jazz direction that Thackray is digging into. Let’s hope the taste of music continues to be something unctuous to all our palettes.
