#MusicMonday! *Very* clear pick this week: The new "Mare" EP by Mirar. The whole fucking thing is just brilliant. Do yourself a favor and listen to it as a whole. But if you really want me to pick a favorite, it would be probably "Oslo":

https://mirar.bandcamp.com/track/oslo

I don't know who these guys are. I never heard of them before. But this is a strong album of the year contender for me already. What a monster!

#MusicMonday! I'm currently madly in love with this song by Ocean Alley:

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgqgFRecxXk

Especially the chorus. That chorus is a 12/10! 🤩 "You keep saying it's all in my heaaaaaaaad, all the creatures circling my beeeeeeeed".

And it's yet another #MusicMonday! So, here we go:

Wondering if @emi_cpl will object if I call *this* Emo now...? 🤔 Anyway, it's great! And you should absolutely listen to the entire record!

#MusicMonday! Since I stumbled across "Calva Louise" via a Spanish song of theirs, I assumed they were from a Spanish-speaking country all along. Turns out they're from... London. 😂 Well, whatever, here's the song, it's great:

(I find it surprisingly hard to track down any Spanish rock that don't sound like... well, dad rock? 🫣 So, if you have any good recommendations, I'm all ears!)

#Music #CalvaLouise #Rock #AlternativeRock

Whoops! Just realized I missed yet another #MusicMonday! 🙈 Well, guess we'll have to settle for a Music Wednesday this week, then! 😄 Either way, go give a listen to the new #WindWaker LP "Hyperviolence" – these guys are criminally underrated!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ds0tQPvOvc

Picked the vocal one-take over the official video to highlight what a great singer Liam is. Easily one of the most talented and versatile vocalists in the genre!

Also, fuck is that chorus catchy! 😆

#MusicMonday! Back on time this week. 😁

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg80u-TMNeE

Really dig how they managed to get James on that track and convinced him not to sing, but read the lyrics – and it still works out wonderfully! I'm usually not big on covers, but this? This elevates the song to a whole other level.

#MusicMonday! Currently having a Cory Wong phase. His collab LP with Dirty Loops is fantastic, front to back, but if I had to pick one song, it would be "Ring Of Saturn":

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e19f0cWBzdY

I fricking LOVE that flute solo! 🤩 A YouTube comment summed it up perfectly: "this is what happens when every member of the band is the best person in the band".

#MusicMonday! Had "Feorm Falorx" on repeat while working on my to-do list app "Habituary" this week, so it's a kinda obvious pick. Favorite track:

Sadly, the official video is just some AI generated crap, and no amount of positive comments under it can convince me that those visuals do actually look good...

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sm3PbXKSv40

#MusicMonday! Apsilon - "So leicht"

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgb2_uMbvTo

This song dropped just a few days ago, and I probably have listened to it a hundred times already. Beautiful chorus... 🤩 Translating doesn't do it justice, but anyway: "I want to know how it feels to look at and love yourself. With you, it's easy for me, so easy, so easy, I don't think I'd deserve that."

#MusicMonday! Ghostemane - "AI"

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3XbZvD3lRo

Can't believe this wasn't on the list already! "ANTI-ICON" is a record that I find myself revisiting regularly, and have yet to grow tired off. "I only ever cry to wash away the blood" is such a sick line – especially when delivered like this (around 1:30).

Also, that video is D-O-P-E!

🎶 "I'm not old, but I'm tired" 🎶

The entire record is great, but this song... Man, hits me right in the feels! So dark, almost grungy. No idea why they didn't release this as a single. Maybe they were worried it was *too* depressive? 🤔 Anyway, clearly the best song on the LP!

Not exactly an "underground" pick, but man, I love this song so much! Everything about it! The Spanish intro, the 2Pac sample, the lyrical concept of the song, and all those voices he channels. Easily the best song on the record!
