Anoice - The Hidden Forest
88
Beautiful. Some magical compositions.

Superb recording. Very peaceful.

Favorite track: heartbeat

The Discussion - Deathtripper B​/​W A Forest
81
"Deathtripper" reminds me of A Flock of Seagulls.

Bonus track: "A Forest" is a cover of The Cure.

Seven Hour Days - The Oppressor
83
Queuing-up another fresh shoegaze track for My Bloody Valentine (MBV) and Slowdive fans.

Enjoy (or not).

Animal Ghosts - Wake
83
This band should be a must-listen for any fan of My Bloody Valentine (MBV).

Absolute mind-bending guitar swirls. Headphones suggested.

Favorite track: Drift

Sounds Like Winter - Fight The Stairs
89
A true rare find: A modern band playing new music in the style of classic goth death rock.

Imagine Fred Schneider (The B-52s) singing for Bauhaus. Yeah, it's that retro cool!

At times, this band sounds a bit like Peter Murphy's solo work, Christian Death, and The Cure.

Enjoy (or not).

If you haven't done so already, be sure to cast your fan vote at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for 2022 nominees:

My choices were a bit slanted, but hopefully 1 or 2 picks may get the nod.
How did I pick? Well, just remember, this is a Rock Hall! If I didn't consider them influential to other rock bands, then 'no' from me. Enough said.

I just noticed your reply. Thanks, and man, I'd love to see a band like Alcest, Fen, etc. live. I keep looking for them to come close to my area but unfortunately, that's a rarity.

Looking at some of your ratings on (Fen, Alcest, Agalloch, Joy Division, The Doors) to name a few, makes me want to look further into others you have rated highly, as I am very fond of those bands (releases) as well. It also makes me wonder if I missed something with others, Les Discrets i.e.

Watched "Count Me In" this past weekend -- a documentary on drummers.

A fun stream, somewhat informative, with some nice historical tidbits; but the lack of mention of Neil Peart from Rush was a huge snub, IMO.
