"Modern Man I & II" by Sarah Slean || https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=by_csL_9pMQ || Just a lovely track from a singer-songwriter with an excellent voice. The lyric "At the end of words / At the end of mathematics" has always stuck with me.

Look the song rips and I just found out the other week this crew's been around for nearly two decades thanks to KEXP.

Suggested by samwonk // Play // Remove and add to played // Remove // Remove earlierhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPN8Rk9WlV4 | Seven Hells by Brown Bird | Okay, not a recent release, but likely new to most people, Brown Bird was a folk act out of the American northeast. Tragically the lead singer passed years ago, but his partner and accompanist formed a new band under the name "The Huntress and Holder of Hands". Rife with religious imagery wrapped in poetry, the lyrics may be the feature of their songs, but the music behind it always brings something to the table
