As I dig out from the last month - and the last 14 months (maybe longer), I find myself not having too much to say. I feel like this is a time for reflection and for reexamining habits and patterns to see what still makes sense and what doesn't. It feels like this reflection needs to take place either internally or in a one-on-one setting - not via a public post... Music - though - remains a constant, and we have some good music to talk about today...
Our penultimate Feature Friday recap for the week - songs 16-19:
16. "Bach o Flodyn" by KIM HON
Adding to our growing list of recent Welsh rock, we have the latest single from KIM HON. The song was written after watching a Robert Johnson documentary and attempting to emulate his riffs... it may not be Robert Johnson, but an excellent song is the result.
17. "For My Animals" by American Culture
The second single and title track from the forthcoming album on HHBTM records. American Culture are a basement core band from Denver, Colorado. The album was recorded pre-COVID and delivered to the record company at the beginning of the pandemic. Look for it soon, and check out the video for the track "Pedals" was recently premiered.
18. "Another Life" by Hadda Be
Next up, we have the new single from this London/Brighton based postpunk/indiepop band. It is from their forthcoming Another Life album (due April 30). I dig it.
19. "Let's Go" by Peter Donovan
We close with the first release on Envoy Records - a new indie label with offices in L.A. and Seattle. This is a split single featuring the two label owners. We will have the other part of the split single tomorrow - today we have a wonderful songs from Peter Donovan. Donovan is a Seattle based singer-songwriter who has released music with All the Real Girls - working with members of Death Cab and Portugal the Man.
