The Current

[Cayman]

What's brand new, or new to you? The Current is the freshest, most cutting edge music we're listening to today. What defines your moment?

Petey USA released his new album, The Yips, just yesterday. It's a mix of bedroom rock, alt-country, and even a little bit of electropop. His lyrics speak of deep social misalignment, unintended breakups, and finding one's self among all the pitfalls and pains of life. Some might call it hokey, or at worse, insincere, but there's a tinge in all his heartfelt lyrics that we can relate to. Not knowing where we're going, not sure if the people we meet along the way will help us, and a longing for true connection that we're told love will provide us, but that narrative might not fit. All wrapped up in a bit of small town Americana that speaks to the struggle without glorifying the seclusion.

Check out the title track,

I've never heard of Petey USA, but I'm definitely subscribing to them because I really enjoyed that sample platter you shared.

The latest album from Cloud Cult, "Alchemy Creek" has been therapeutic for me to deal with a lot of things in the past year and change, and to internalize some struggles better.

This is probably my favorite song from the album.

Oh dang I didn't know Cloud Cult had a new album out. I've been a fan for a looooong time

My current mini-fixation is Japanese furry singer/songwriter Totan AKA Monday9's album A Bucket of Soil (In the Future). It actually came out last year but only on an incredibly limited self-released CD run that Totan seemingly only shared with friends - it only sneakily arrived in streaming services earlier this year. I unexpectedly managed to pick up one of the CD copies in Anthrocon just gone by as it was randomly sold on the merch table of a furry music event I went to, and as a physical media guy it means I've only now started properly digging into it. Soundwise it's lovely, gentle acoustic songs perfect for lazy Sunday mornings, but there's a lot of emotional depth to the lyrics - the CD version comes with a separate sheet with all the lyrics translated to English by Totan himself, and there's definitely a lot of contrast between the calm embrace of the sound and frequent soul-searching and longing of the lyrics. It's all very, very lovely.

My currest obession is "Indigo Chateau" by Autoheart, its super catchy, the lyrics grab me by the ears and the music video is so fun, what if someone made bad cats costumes?

Here's "it's nothing new" by bagel faclub, a band within the furry fandom. It came out about a month ago! It's a drill and bass/breakcore album with some neo-psychedelia and noise influences!! Super dense, super complex, you should definitely give it a listen if you like energetic music. There's still LE50 cassette tapes available!

Also, me and one of the members are acquaintances and the album cover was made by a friend :P So I rlly want more people to listen to it, haha

Got a message today that some former members of Cistem Failure formed a new band so that went straight to the wishlist x3

Here's a few of my current earworms.

I know you are sleeping on Maruja and I am here to tell you that is a big fucking mistake.


It's absolutely fucked up that I had no idea about Bob Vylan until all the Death to the IDF stuff put them in the news, they're great.


Similarly, Irish rap trio Kneecap seem to have been in the news lately for supporting Palestine.


I've also been listening to the new Model/Actriz alot, the new Trent Reznor is a twink with a moustache.

So Part 2 of the anime Sakamoto Days just started on the weekend and the new OP they have for it is super stylish and awesome, but what grabbed me was the song they picked for it too.



I've never heard of Kroi before but if their discography is this stylish, smooth blend of soul, funk and R&B? I'm sold and I need more.
