New Music Report #2

What’s new in the world of my music interests

  • The Bestiary: Newest release from Castle Rat, bigger and better than the first album. Wizard especially is a highlight. Overall the dynamics and variety on this album are a big step up from their previous album (which was also great)

  • Forest of Your Problems: 4th album from newly discoverd Snapped Ankles. Hints of Kraftwerk. Not much to say about this yet because I only discovered it yesterday, but definitely a good find and the rest of their albums are on the wishlist.

  • Feel Safe by Yass, similar in some ways to Forest of Your Problems, more driving. Directly inspired by Kraftwerk but darker/more distorted. Kind of cool. The description on the bandcamp page does a better job describing it than I could:

    The birth of whale songs that whimsically skim over the ice desert, fleeing from a hurricane and a box full of sounds and noises. She wears headphones to protect herself from the cold but notices that everything turns into warmth. And for this mixture, there is a year of joy in the driving guitar noise and the buzzing escape sounds from one’s own roughness.
