Hermitude - Golden || https://youtu.be/6ziKK1xqKq4 || No actual rapping in the song, but a fun hip hop electronic track. This is a duo from Australia, which has a somewhat surprisingly substantial rap scene apparently? Maybe Australians wouldn’t be surprised, Rap is popular everywhere I guess. Anyhow, this song sounds like you’re grooving out in the depths of space, a solid track.

Penguin Café Orchestra – Harmonic Necklace || https://youtu.be/S6Jb3AT0rog || This song is less than a minute half long, and only uses a small handful of chords on a single electric guitar, but I feel like it is able to illicit a full story on its own, which I think is neat. It’s like the song equivalent of reading a good poem; it condenses a lot down to very little. Very quiet piece, short and sweet.

Mannequin Pussy - Drunk II. Queer punk/Indie rock. This album was released yesterday and it's already one my favorites from this year. This song is upbeat with great, passionate vocals. If I had to pick a color for it I'd say it's a reddish pink. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZ0Xjl5KusI

The Saints - Know Your Product - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBpbpjHCvrU - The Saints are the great Unknown Australian Punk Band. Most folks prefer their first album, which is very much early-80s straight-ahead punk rock. This is from their second album, which involves judicious use of a horn section and is just utterly fantastic.

https://youtu.be/glc5WucuFSo?t=3209 It's called Vallczeremdoss by Koenjihyakkei off their album Nivraym. It's a "Zeuhl" band which is like if prog rock and avant garde jazz had a crazy baby that only spoke in made up languages. Only a handful of bands actually fit the genre and this is one of them. The actual song is at 53:29 and it's not a super long song like a ton of prog is. That being said the whole album is long but really good so give it a listen!

Senri Kawaguchi Triangle - Wupatki - Some really smooth, rhythmically complex jazz. Brilliant musicianship, brilliant drum and bass work. The drummer, Kawaguchi, is a 22-year-old (then 19-20ish) jazz drummer who got her first taste of popularity doing K-On! covers on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrHJoY6RzR0

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfN2rN9P3CI Jose Gonzalez and The String Theory - Crosses. Jose Gonzalez recently did a KEXP set with a Swedish orchestral collective he's worked with occasionally and the entire thing is AMAZING. Crosses is a classic of Gonzales’, and it’s perfectly complemented here by understated orchestral strings among other instruments, bringing out the guitar while infusing Gonzales’ voice as an instrument even more than before

Blerta - Dance All Around The World | https://youtu.be/t3aO2XEwn9I | Hearing the narratives from King Gizz, it puts me in mind of this '70s narrative song from a group of actors and musicians started by Bruno Lawrence who toured around performing and living the 'hippie' life. Usually shows up in iconic Kiwi music compilations.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxrH9nGYiwI - Björk - Ambergris March. The kabuki inspired me to try suggesting this album again, as it uses a lot of traditional Japanese instruments/influence. This lovely & interesting instrumental piece is from the soundtrack Björk wrote for then-partner Matthew Barney's art film (i.e., shown in museums), Drawing Restraint 9.

Lili Boulanger (mezzo: Maria Riccarda Wesseling, piano: Nathalie Dang) - Reflets (1911) - Classical suggestion, and a recent discovery! Lili Boulanger, regarded as a genius by her sister, was active only for 7 years before she died at 24. In this earlier song of hers, Boulanger brilliantly captures the lonely, dark, ethereal atmosphere of Maeterlinck's poem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhPuF-X_sII

Venetian Snares - Hajnal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDQrK1-8CNs One of my favorite tracks by a pioneer of IDM/DnB/Breakcore. It's also a more approachable song and a great intro to his music. The orchestral strings, the jazzy interludes, and then...transcendent madness? Those who've heard Venetian Snares before know what to expect, those who haven't: buckle up and hold onto your butts.

(Country) Orville Peck - No Glory In the West. Orville Peck is a gay country musician. A lot of his songs are very moody, and done in a way to highlight his voice and deep style. This particular track is newer, and comes from his new EP. It was supposed to be out this month, but he's chosen to delay it to not distract from BLM protests. It has one of his strongest vocal performances I've heard. It's just incredible. https://youtu.be/TU0TAsEjUpg

"Don't Blame Me" by Billy Tipton (He/Him) [LGBTQ] || https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQEWBYh8FhE&list=PLt8xTEXTzOTxsqXH0sBUFp_7_0xB-azDo || I chose this piece to illustrate that, yes, queer people have always been a part of society. Billy Tipton was a jazz pianist and transman who began his career in 1936 - which is remarkable given the level of prejudice he would have faced in such a public role. It wasn't known that he was trans until after his death and I t's a shame he had to live in hiding.

Betsy Tinney and Geli Wuerzner - When You're Out of Chocolate - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-_DzYbVTp0 Betsy is a cellist with synesthesia and she uses that to improvise cello tunes. She and Geli, a violinist, drank a lot of wine and ate chocolate and then improvised tunes based on the chocolate they ate and turned them into improvised tunes that made up half an album. This is the last song in the truffle cycle so it's a little somber and full of chill. [food] [resubmitted b/c bad link]

Proc Fiskal: "Dish Washing" - I am currently doing my dishes right now, so why not a song called "Dish Washing." This is a footwork song, and while footwork is club music some of my favorite artists working with the genre focus on head listening and bring out its playfulness and color https://procfiskal.bandcamp.com/track/dish-washing-2

Wipers - "When It's Over" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUm_FeB0KlQ Portland-based Wipers' 1981 sophomore album Youth of America bridges the gap between post punk and grunge. I recently listened to this album for the first time in a long time. Kurt Cobain was a huge fan of them, and even covered 2 songs of theirs with Nirvana.

Clann Zú - Words for Snow (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NUNeyyeeH0) - It's my birthday! Found this track while cruising the RYM charts trying to find more artists like Courtney Barnett and instead found something completely different; the genres on this release span "Art Rock", "Celtic Folk Music" and "Experimental Rock", with an Irish vocalist playing a bodhrán and some extremely shredding noise rock instrumentation. This is the opening track and it slaps extremely hard

Radiohead Ful Stop – https://youtu.be/NHDOk7lA53w When I want very complex, but still very pleasant music, I turn to Radiohead. "Ful Stop" from Moon-Shaped Pool (that album came out 5 years ago?) sounds like what happens when you let Johnny, Ed, and Thom loose. How many guitars are there? 3? 7? -4? I don't know. I just know that I really like this song.

Radiohead – Fitter Happier https://youtu.be/O4SzvsMFaek "Fitter Happier" isn't the beepiest or boopiest song in the Radiohead discography, but I think it qualifies. While the old Macintosh "Fred" voice may not be Hatsune Miku, it was the perfect choice for capturing the dystopian consumer advertising hellscape that we are continuing to fall into.

Nights in White Satin by the Moody Blues. I have many memories of my father driving me at night, listening to music. this one in specific. For me, it's all city lights over rainy car windows, and neon in the the dark, feeling safe in the front seat next to my dad, feeling sleepy. This video has them doing it live with an orchestra, which I feel fits the song well. https://youtu.be/MjUqfRrWwcM
