#MusicMonday! Really into the new #SetToStun album "Valkyrie One" currently. They kept postponing it for years (very relatable, hehe…), so I'm super stoked it finally saw the light of day now. Still underrated as heck, so I'd really implore you to listen to the album as a whole, but if I *had* to pick a song it would probably be "Staria III":

They way that track builds and shifts is just... *chef's kiss*
#MusicMonday! I've yet to watch #TheKiller, but I'm already head over heels in love with its soundtrack by #TrentReznor and #AtticusRoss. Can't wait to see the actual scene behind "The Brute, Pt. 2", hahaha! My favorite track by far is "One of the Many", though. It starts so peaceful and calm, yet ends so furious, swirling and wild.
@njamster@mastodon.gamedev.place#MusicMonday! Actually, easy pick this week, since I've seen them live on Saturday: #Sungazer, a musical duo consisting of #AdamNeely and #ShawnCrowder. Never heard of them before (a friend took me), but LOVED every second of their set! Hard to pick favorites since their songs are all so different, but here's one from their full-length debut "Perihelion" that I really like:
#MusicMonday! Really enjoying the new #Apashe LP "Antagonist". If you never heard of him: He's blending electronic and classical music in a really unique and extremely well produced style that is instantly recognizable as his. Favorite track: "Catch me", which blends the choir of the #BulgarianSymphonyOrchestra with a very high pitched voice shouting the name of the song. It's just marvelous, perfectly executed!
#MusicMonday! Still trying to wrap my head around how fricking heavy the new #Unprocessed LP "... And Everything In Between" is. I mean, the singles already hinted at that, but after their (way softer) last album I didn't expect this at all! Obvious shoutout to the track featuring #TimHenson and #ScottLePage from #Polyphia, but personally I enjoy "Glass" (despite being the simpler song) a little more:
#MusicMonday! I recently came across "Bloodmoon: I", the collaboration album of #Converge and #ChelseaWolfe. No clue why I didn't check it out earlier, fantastic LP, outstanding variety. "Coil" is by far my favorite, though. That song is stuck in my brain on repeat, so, yeah, "it's like a serpent, coiled inside me" indeed!

Very happy they recently confirmed there will be a "Bloodmoon: II" LP! :)
#MusicMonday! Mostly have been pumping the new "RAT WARS" LP by HEALTH this week (shoutout to @bd for putting them on my radar :)). Honestly, my favorite song probably right away is that BEAST of an album opener:

Simply can't get enough of Duzsik's angelic voice gliding effortlessly over the back and forth of heavy industrial riffs and moody synthie patterns there.
Alright, holidays are over, time for another #MusicMonday! And some German music for a change again, since #OGKeemo has dropped his "Fieber" mixtape a few days ago. It's... well, a mixed bag! (No pun intended ) But the beats he raps on, all made by his main producer and friend #FunkvaterFrank, are impeccable as ever! Even if you don't speak German: listen to "Torshavn" – and tell me this isn't an outstanding beat!
#MusicMonday! Probably not what you would expect from me if you followed this series so far, but this week it's "Aguilera" by, well, #ChristinaAguilera. 
I love how varied the album is and how effortlessly it includes so many different Spanish music genres. Unfortunately, that also makes it extremely hard to pick a favorite. 
Fuck it, I'll admit it: It's probably "Pa Mis Muchachas". I'm so mainstream, haha!
Whoopsie, just realized I skipped last #MusicMonday. 
Back to business, then! This week, I was mostly into "Dust of the Human Shape" by Ghost Atlas (the solo project of Jesse Cash from #Erra). Well, some of it! Compared to his first LP, surprisingly many songs on here feel rather simplistic and "poppy", and as an album it never quite comes together. That being said, the title track is an absolute beauty: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tcJLgPT5rg Can't get enough of it!
#MusicMonday! "STRATA", the new record by Japanese instrumental quartet #LITE, takes some time getting used to. Especially since for the first time, most of the tracks on here aren't instrumental at all! And as much as I'd like to tell you that courageous experiment paid off, it simply wouldn't be true! I don't like the vocals… That doesn't stop the few instrumental songs from being absolute beauties, tho!
#MusicMonday! Since it dropped at the start of February, the new Enterprise Earth LP "Death: An Anthology" has been on HEAVY rotation here. Simple, but fun! There's just one track ("Malevolent Force") I really can't stand ('cause to me the intro sounds like a repeated Nazi salute Ö_Ö), but the track right before that... *chefkiss* Perfect!
Also, it's #MusicMonday! Easy choice this time, since I have listened to pretty much nothing else while working on my jam game this weekend: The "N I T O" EP by Ichika Nito. Best enjoyed as a whole (and on repeat :D), I'd say, but here's my favorite:
Damn, missed yet another Monday! Alright, let's keep it short then:
"Show me your ghost dance!" (1:32)
#MusicMonday! Disclaimer: To fully appreciate this, you should definitely look up "Stacy's Mum" and "Stacy's Dad" as well. Yep! Being Stacy is tough!

On the other hand... She seems to have a really amazing family, huh? 
#MusicMonday! Since I don't like his new stuff (like, at all...), here's an actually decent #Gesaffelstein song from back in 2013. Damn, guess I'm getting old, huh?
#MusicMonday! I really dig that video idea - simple, but effective! Bendy heads to bendy riffs. 
Also, I'm madly in love with the way Jesse's cleans set in during the chorus here. Especially since I wasn't too much into his latest solo release...
#MusicMonday! "IIIIIIII III" by Binkbeats. First time since doing these post that I can't find so track on neither Bandcamp nor YouTube, so... Spotify it is, I guess?

EDIT: Finally hit Bandcamp as well: https://binkbeats.bandcamp.com/track/llllllll-lll
"Yeah, I miss buyin' CDs at the store
And thumbin' through the cases tryin' to make a choice
That don't make no sense to you? Well, of course
See, one man's inconvenience is another's joy"
#MusicMonday! The new Justice-LP "Hyperdrama" is excellent as a whole, but the first track (featuring Tame Impala) hits differently somehow. What a hook!
#MusicMonday! Obvious pick for the (vegetarian) beef lover in me:

Everybody's talking about Kendrick's "A Minor" counter in "Not Like Us" – and rightfully so! But in my eyes, he had already won here:
"I make music that electrify 'em,
you make music that pacify 'em"
The way he only mentions this in passing makes it even more of a flex. Kendrick's playing in his own league here, that's for sure!
@njamster oh I love Sungazer. I saw them last year, their setup broke for a bit, and we got some electric sax impro, very cool
@njamster heck yeah! 
Oh this is so nice - I love those supersweet minors as passing chords.
@njamster I *just now* picked up this album. It's a smooth bop.
