Today, we wrap up our recap of this week's Playlist and make way for a new list coming up around midnight Central Time. (songs 23-26):
23. "The Fever" by Thrillsville
We previously featured L.A. based darkwave/goth pop band Thrillsville and their quarantine inspired song "Lockdown". This new single is inspired by the Twilight Zone episode of the same name. Both song and show deal with addition and obsession and the elusive satisfaction that the object of the obsession promises but never delivers.
24. "Mandriliando" by Mandril!
I recently started getting e-mails from the Bogota, Columbia based label Discos Infante. The text of the e-mail is in Spanish and is contained in an image so it is possible to cut and paste into a translation tool. But, that is okay, because the labels social media posts - when translated are beautifully poetic but give little information about the bands. The two bands I featured so far seem to have little or no social media presence themselves. Regardless, the music is wonderful. Check it out.
25. "Going Up" by Jabbawoki
Next up, the lead track from Something's Cooking - the debut EP by the Leeds band Jabbawoki. The band's sound mixes indie, hip-hop, and funk in most interesting ways. The lead track is a short, vibey piece featuring murmured voices. The track "Unkle Funkle" was the first single and probably a better representation of the band - so check them out.
26. "Ffoi" by Ghostlawns
We close out this week's Playlist with the second single by the Cardiff, Wales based Ghostlawns - The track is pronounced ph-o-ee. The atmospheric song is from the band's forthcoming debut album Motorik - due out October 30. A nice way to close out the week's Featured Friday Playlist.
Featured Friday Playlist
Thursday Morning Shuffle
"You Won't Put Out This Flame" by Whitney Shay (from Stand Up!)
First up, we have a track from the very late 2019 album by San Diego based blues artist Whitney Shay - delivering some powerhouse vocal pyrotechnics.
"Are You a Have or Are Your a Have Not?" by Paul Gillings (from Invisible Prison)
Next up, we have some electrifying, electric blues from Harmonica ace Paul Gillings from his album that was released back in July. Gillings is based in the English North Sea coast town of Lowestoft.
"You Don't Need to Know" by Warming (from Warming)
Next up, we have a track from the self-titled 2019 album by the Winnipeg based artist Warming. This was a favorite of mine from last year.
"The Highway Never Cries" by Bob Rea (from Southbound)
Next up, a track from a favorite album of 2018 - from Nashville/Colorado based singer-songwriter Bob Rea. The album features an all-star cast of Nashville musicians. What I love about shuffle the way I do it now, is the chance to visit favorites from past years.
"Trigger Happy" by Cordova (from Runaway Summer)
Another 2018 favorite - from the New Mexico based band Cordova. I always feel the need to point out that this is not the Nashville-based band The Cordovas (I just point it out because many of my regular readers are familiar with the latter band). Cordova (no "The" and no "s" delivers outstanding hard, alternative rock.
"Women and Men" (Live) by They Might Be Giants (from Flood Live in Australia)
From a fan club/e-mail list free download of a live performance of the band's classic third album - one of my all-time favorite albums.
