I might become a fan of occidentalist music. Especially Belgian-Lithuanian music sounds fascinating.

The Scimitars - “Bari Simone” (2023)

Vibrant and mesmerizing Middle Eastern influenced surf music from a talented combo out of SoCal.

Super producer Jack Endino did the mastering. No wonder it sounds so great.

I gotta see these guys live. I wish there were more than the two songs they recently released.
