Sorry for the late post, but I am a little under the weather today...

Today - Songs 22-27 of the Featured Friday Playlist: I never know how these Playlists are going to play out each week or how the different segments will come together.  As I previously alluded to, the order of the songs is not exactly random, but is rather arbitrary at times. As I am quickly putting the list together just before midnight on Thursday night, I slide the songs around until - purposefully moving some songs higher or lower in the order for  vague reasons,  but also somewhat casually letting other songs move up or down as it goes. Yesterday's list ended on a electronic and somewhat heavy note, the heaviness carries over and we have some good electronic music of various kinds. But also some more roots oriented music. Let's go!

22. "Eigenlicht" by Kalmhain

We start things off with the full-length debut from this experimental black metal band from Antwerp, Belgium. Mixing black metal, shoegaze, and post-metal sounds to make something dark, heavy, intense, and awesome. 

23. "Distance" by Stykfaktor

Our second St. Louis band - and our second darkwave pandemic inspired song. The band has been around since 2001, and I dig this track. 

24. "Treat You Better" by Laura Cortese & the Dance

We previously featured the pre-album single "Typhoon" by this band from Boston.  Now, the album, Bitter Better is out, and we have another track to feature.  I am really digging this band these days. 

25. "Driving my Mustang" by Ekat Bork

Next we have a new single from Swiss-based and Russian born electronic/alternative singer-songwriter Ekat Bork.  The artist has an album in the can to be called Ekat. Looking forward to hearing more. 

26. "Rock the Boat" by Jah Cure

Always room in the  playlist for a sweet reggae tune from Kingston, Jamaica.  

27. "TopBoy" by NineteenHateHate

We started this segment with some experimental black metal, and we close things out with a Seattle artist who combines black metal and trap metal into a exciting blend. Ending another segment on a heavy note.

Tomorrow, we round out the the playlist - who knows where the music will take us.
