Some more dance-rock/dance-punk style music from New York this time around.Yet another band Significant Other introduced me to. It is quite energetic with an enjoyable combination of indie rock and a dash electronic dance/synthpop mixed in. Some of their later bts have a darker, angrier feel to it (cf. Stir the Blood), but all in all it is quite an enjoyable, upbeat listen.
Brown Bird - Fingers to the Bone
Some deliciously epic instrumental "film traileresqe" music here. I am not sure of what the exact name of this genre is, but it has an epic orchestral, sweeping feel to it. Mr.(?) Puumala here is certainly one of the best of the bunch my coworkers and I have run across on the production floor thanks to Pandora Radio...
Some tasty blues-rock/metal this time around. I was introduced to them by my fellow co-workers on the production floor. Left Lane Cruiser has a pretty heavy hard-rock sound infused into some Mississippi hill country blues. It makes for a good compromise for those of use on the production floor that like to listen to country music, and those of us (myself included) that prefer hard rock
More Avatar goodness!
This certainly is an interesting album, filled with a pleasingly wide variety of influences and sounds. I remember an interview somewhere (YouTube perhaps?) a while back with Johannes Eckerström, the lead singer, saying the band did not want to get stuck making the same sounds and music again and again. They succeeded quite well here; a veritable cornucopia of different styles here!
On the power metal cheesy fun scale from "At home in the 80's" to "Featured on the box art for a graphics card", Gloryhammer certainly pegs the metre. The first song is about a wizard leading an army of undead unicorns which sets the tone for everything that follows.
A bit of neo-psychedelic rock here. Think "Doors" mixed with "Black Rebel Motorcycle Club". If you enjoyed Black Rebel Motorcycle Club from (much) earlier, odds are you will enjoy this.
Not much to say here as there is not much available on the 'tubes about this band. It is composed of sole musician Ben Sharp, and is some quite nice instrumental prog metal.
A bit of folk pop and blues rock today. Barns apparently is a bit of an up and coming musician, so there is not much available now. He has one EP released currently, and I must say I love his voice.
Oddly enough I discovered him though a video ad on YouTube, which has to be up there on my list of "serendipitous times to disable adblock".
Here is hoping for more in the upcoming years.
Celldweller is a bit of an interesting beast. Very similar to Blue Stalhi previously with the electronic industrial metal. Celldweller expands on it though with a healthy dose of orchestrical composition with measures of D'n'B and dubstep mixed in. If you enjoyed Blue Stalhi, here is an extra serving of that electronic metal goodness.
This post wasn't supposed to be difficult. It really wasn't. It simply occurred to me that, since not all of my readers have picked up on my affinity for Idiosyncratic Chapter Titles,* I realized that many folks are going to look at the next chapter title and let out a hearty "WTF?!" (or perhaps a WTH if small children are within earshot).
I love this band. Such good music. Very unique and different.
I almost simply can't write stuff without listening to music. Any kind will do, it just depends on the moment. The perfect music right now you might like:
It's so soothing 
I'm mostly a fan of her older stuff
Do you write to music? If you do, what's your personal go-to?
It's been a while since I made a "strange music" post on this blog, so here's a performance of one of my favorite pieces of "new music" (which, if you didn't know, is a somewhat head-trippy subgenre of modern classical music). I give you Corey Schutzer's performance of "Failing: A Very Difficult Piece for Solo String Bass" by Tom Johnson:
There's a studio version but I really like this live version stripped down with the piano
The sky is not the same shade of blue
Every single thing
I believe isn't true
Missing in a maze of monochrome
How did I get here
How can I go home?
The echoes in my eyes
Of all they used to see
Burning down the world
The ashes and debris
And all that's left of me
Non-entity
That's right, I'm starting this back up again! :D
I've been getting into some pretty pretty awesome new songs lately with my band and I was going through my blogs and saw these... My god the memories.
