#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.
#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:
https://youwillloveeachother.bandcamp.com/track/demigods
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:
@njamster@mastodon.gamedev.placeDamn, 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!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pki8HdJ59iw
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? 
https://open.spotify.com/track/63s85wm6mmPkWFnzZtjGy4?si=6a8666c4acc74da5
#Music #BinkBeats #ElectronicMusic
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:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPqDIwWMtxg
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!
#MusicMonday! Not too much into the accompanying album, to be honest, BUT: I can't get enough of "Suffocate". Poppy's killing it. Gimme an LP of THAT!
#MusicMonday! New Villagers album is great. As was the previous one. And the one before that. And before that. And... well, I think you get what I'm hinting at.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DYEKRHd73U
"There's a fairy tale we call free will
It was funny then, and it's funny still
And at the heart of it lies an endless greed
Because we want what we don't need"
#MusicMonday! "Bring Me The Horizon" shadow dropped their long expected next album. It's not as good as "Survival Horror" I'd say, but still... well, good.
Nothing really on here tops "AmEN" for me, but the song that surprised me the most was certainly "liMOusine". Now I want AURORA to do a metal album...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8U96n8L-lg
But, "low like a basement"... Seriously, Oli?!? 
#MusicMonday! Most reviews for "The Rogue Prince Of Persia" cautiously warn about not enough content (yet). All of them praised the soundtrack, though. For a reason!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yK8WmPMUn1c
I love, love, LOVE the second half. That synth line is so fucking dark! Reminds me a lot of (old) #Gesaffelstein. The visualizer doesn't do it justice one bit, though, haha!
#MusicMonday! I'm not too much into Punk music, actually. But I recently discovered Clowns [the band! I have been to a circus before, thanks] and... it's really fun?
Also, perfect lyrics to celebrate this year's #PrideMonth:
#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:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kolDohG5Ns
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:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDuBXGEHe6U
(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!)
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.
Oh this is so nice - I love those supersweet minors as passing chords.
@njamster yeah guess what, I forgot. Gonna try tomorrow again
@njamster thanks for this. I'm adding to my playlist for tomorrow right now.
@njamster very bold to call this punk! this is just emo 
my jam
@emi_cpl As long as we can agree it's fun...
@njamster This is heavy. I'm feeling it, sounds like boss fight music to honest 
@heroicthehobbyist I'm scared of that boss just from hearing it!
@njamster yep, that one's really good! Thanks for the recommendation!
@njamster hmmm... not emo* 
*At least this song is not what I would group into the "emo" genre.
@emi_cpl Man, that genre stuff sure is complicated! 
@njamster most Spanish rock sounds like dad rock, you wont' find much else. The industry here specializes in other sorts of music and systematically hinder the rock/indie/alt scene. Many have tried but they end up giving up or having to flee the country. The only ones left are the nepo babies without talent making generic and boring "rock de mierda". But don't mind me, that's just me who is salty about it 
@emi_cpl todo se acabó cuando terminó Soda Stereo. Ojalá existiera mucho más, yo no me aguanto mucho la música en español de ahora desafortunadamente .
Antes era más variado pero ahora es solo una misma cosa todo el tiempo. En fin... Igual mis gustos musicales son "raros" entonces no digo nada jeje.
@emi_cpl That's sad. :( But well, at least it means I haven't been longing in the wrong places if there simply seem to be no such places!
