Tonight, I'm going to tie up a loose end. Originally, I planned to include this Dungen post alongside the prior entries for Melody's Echo Chamber and Moodoïd, both of which published a few weeks back. Dungen's got direct relations to the former. Two of their four members, frontman Gustav Ejstes and guitarist Reine Fiske, contributed …

I'm a little exhausted this eve, trying to tie up a bunch of loose ends before the New Year kicks in. I'm really trying to avoid dragging any of the 2019 baggage into 2020, unless, of course, it's the really good stuff from the past 12 months. But this year's been a strange, tricky, and …

Here's a weird and wonderful one. It's called "Goodbye" and it's a psychedelic folk instrumental from Swedish art-rock and fusion experimentalists Goat. I actually was introduced to this band a few years back with one of their eclectic live albums. Never heard of them before. But the person who opened the door absolutely loved them. …

ShitKid’s “Favourite Thing”

Admittedly, I think I chose this one on the basis of name alone. I mean, ShitKid … how could I not? The song's called "Favourite Thing," and sounds like it could've stumbled out of a Chelsea Wolfe drunken stupor. It's kind of grungey and grimey, sleazy and sexy, sort of subversive, and slightly pissed off, …
