[Fresh Album] Vanishing Twin - Afternoon X (songwhip.com)

Here is the 4th album from London band Vanishing Twin. I would describe them as dreamy and psychedelic. Maybe Stereolab is a good comparison. Check them out if that interests you! And I recommend their 3 previous albums too if you like this.

Just read the sidebar and learned what Worldwide Wednesday was! So I wanted to share this Japanese group. No idea what they're saying but I love the beat and the flows and the distinct style of each rapper in the group. Also this video is quite the trip. .

I'm digging the new Sleater-Kinney song and I was reminded of this video. Fred Armisen joins them on stage to perform Rock Lobster!

[Fresh Album] Eartheater - Powders (songwhip.com)

Honestly I haven't been a fan of Eartheater's brand of experimental pop in the past. However with Powders she has taken a more subdued approach to create what is essentially a trip hop album. It has a really interesting and unexpected cover of Chop Suey halfway through the album too. And if you like this it is apparently a sister album to her upcoming 2024 album Aftermath. I'll be looking forward to that.

It feels like a big day with both Animal Collective and Wilco releasing new albums!

By the way I saw you made threads for those two. I was up earlier today and made thread for those ones already.

New Animal Collective! I read that this one was written in the same time period as their previous record Time Skiffs.

Epic Games Sells Bandcamp Amid Layoffs by kvn2 in c/alternativenation@lemmy.world

Asked whether artist revenue shares, user experience, or the editorial platform Bandcamp Daily will be affected by the acquisition, Songtradr declined to comment.

Maybe I'm being too cynical but this doesn't sound great

The new Animal Collective album in the morning made me want to check out some related videos. I ended up on this video for Go On from Panda Bear and Sonic Boom's 2022 collaboration. It is an absolute trip!

Released last Friday. Here's the 4th album from UK punk duo JOHN (TIMESTWO) made up of, you guessed it, two guys named John. Really cool collection of songs with propulsive and energetic guitar and drums and vocals that remind me a little bit of IDLES. Enjoy!

[DISCUSSION: WEEKLY ALBUM CLUB] Mitski - The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We by kvn2 in c/alternativenation@lemmy.world

[-] kvn2@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

Awesome choice! I wasn't expecting a 2 month old album to make it to album club! But this one deserves the attention. I've given it a few listens since it came out but let me get one more listen in before I give any deeper thoughts.

Loraine James is a British experimental electronic producer. I'm really enjoying this album from her so far. I hear some really interesting combinations of r&b, downtempo, glitch, and maybe some emo. Check it out if that at all interests you!

TV Show theme songs by indie bands, because why not by kvn2 in c/alternativenation@lemmy.world

[-] kvn2@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

In my opinion one of the best TV show themes is for House

Teardrop - Massive Attack

I'm really enjoying this indie record from Vancouver's Haley Blais. It's full of emotional lyrics and dynamic instrumentation with elements of folk, rock, and pop. Released last Friday but I don't think it was posted yet. Enjoy!

I really like Space Invader. I'm excited to hear the rest of it this morning

Edit: Very good album. Space Invader and Smoke Detector are my initial favorites

[Fresh Album] Courtney Barnett - End Of The Day by kvn2 in c/alternativenation@lemmy.world

[-] kvn2@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I haven't listened yet but I was just reading that this is a soundtrack album for a documentary called Anonymous Club.

I think it's all instrumental. I'll check it out later. I'm pretty intrigued.

Edit: It's a nice and pretty sounding album. Very relaxing

[30 Day Song Challenge: Alternative Nation Edition] Day 29 - An alternative song you REMEMBER FROM YOUR CHILDHOOD by kvn2 in c/alternativenation@lemmy.world

[-] kvn2@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

Haha I totally understand that this song could be hated but I love it. Maybe I benefitted from never hearing it on the radio and "discovering" it on my own
