I forget how I first discovered Creeper, but they delivered another great one with 'Sanguivore II'.
Heavy rock/metal with touches of goth atmosphere (and a ton of goth subject matter) and a side of Broadway theatrics. Very fun.

The alt/indie band I know the least about relative to how much music news appears on my feed is Geese. So let's stream 'Getting Killed' and see what all the fuss is about.

Dissociating from reality through music today.
The metal column in which I found this album described BASK as progressive/sludge, but I don't think that's accurate. Their bandcamp bio uses the phrase "Heavy Americana".

It’s intolerable that Minnesota Democrats not only has to endure the brutal murder of political leaders, but the far-right faction that did it insists that we somehow did it to ourselves. Our society cannot operate inside the ocean of lies that Musk and his neo-Nazi cronies have created

Saw ‘The Phoenician Scheme’ today. It was good-ish okay. But I feel like it was a 90-minute version of one of Margot Tenenbaum’s plays mixed with the fake Wes Anderson trailer that SNL did like 10 years ago.

I hope I get to see Turnstile on tour behind this new album. I have a feeling seeing and hearing the transition between "NEVER ENOUGH" and "SOLE" will be
