Music you've discovered recently?

[beeps]

A thread for new music discoveries! The actual music doesn't have to be new, you only need to have found it recently.

TIL that Rebecca Sugar (whomst created Steven Universe and worked on Adventure Time for a good while) has seemingly been focusing more on music since SU ended. They have some utterly delightful tracks that have released fairly recently.

I literally just found this Thai soul/pop band through my YouTube recommendations. This song is so chill and great and I love brass bands/brass sections in music SO MUCH.

great ambient work by an extremely strange local furry, Gamble the Deer. Mateyoshka in particular is an excellent song

I don't really have anything I loved too hard recently, so I'll go with something I wasn't a huge fan of and work my way back in time a bit. I have the GroundbreakinG playlists for the most recent BOF events in my local library and they have a pretty frequent tendency to get randomly selected, as I just tend to put my entire music library on shuffle play, and this one got selected.

I try my hardest to give things the benefit of the doubt when I can, as a lot of what people show me are things that go over my head, but given the fact that this upload somehow has only 2 views after over a year (at least, according to NewPipe), I don't think anyone else gets it, either. I doubt whoever sampled this understood what they sampled. I'm curious what it even is that they sampled, because I don't think I'd enjoy it, either. I think this deserves to be posted because it's an anomaly to me.



As for an older discovery that still feels very recent: I'm American. I've never listened to Eurovision and wanted to change that, so I poked through some of the entries from the current year. I didn't like most of them for very long, except for Ukraine's entry, which I still think about.

With the music video, sound, and simply everything about this song, it stands so far in contrast to everything I've heard of the competition in a very good way. It speaks to an era I never fully understood that I think I want to, now.

The Beths did a What's in My Bag episode recently and mentioned Wax Chattels, and oooh baby this is very much my shit

Two records that have come out in the past week or so I'm listening to are LSD by Cardiacs (rest in peace Tim Smith)



He passed in 2020 after a 12 year struggle with dystonia, and his brother and all his friends came together to finish his final record he was working on in 2008. It's such an outpouring of solemn joy and celebration of his life. Such a unique composer.

The second is Stealing Sheep, fun female Liverpool trio



Saw them live in London supporting Ladytron years back, was a great surprise. Their new stuff is more dancey and modern sounding but Not Real from 2015 is a solid record from start to finish.
