I've been listening to a lot of moody stuff, so my Spotify releases is providing a bit of a break.

I am really not enjoying this new Arctic Monkeys era...at all.

ooh, i'd love some moody recs!

also, i had the most incredible time at the ethel cain show! she has this indefinable quality that is absolutely captivating, and the way that voice just comes out of her is insane.

I knew you'd have a great time. I agree about her voice. It never faltered. When I saw her in Dallas, she was playing on the upper level of a smaller venue. The stage was just her and the band and some string lights, but that's all that was needed. It was lovely.

IDK if you know but Spotify has a song from her previous project White Silas.

*The recommendation at the bottom (E Death) is her sister.

For me, moody is like Sisters of Mercy, Tempers, Traitrs, Sextile, Ritual Howls, Public Memory, NNHMN, Boy Harsher, Lebanon Hanover, Clan of Xymox...etc.

yeah, it was a very simple set for me too but it was perfect. the only letdown for me was that she didn't perform "western nights," which is my favorite track on preacher's daughter.

thanks for the recs, i'll def check them out! and omg i didn't know any of that music survived, let alone was on spotify. she seems to have successfully scrubbed a whole album from the internet.

She didn't play it in Dallas either. From what I've seen on her sub-Reddit, it's a fan favorite, so I wonder why she left it off. I did leave prior to the encore, though, so maybe she played it then?

Hopefully she'll reconsider her stance on her older works. I always find it interesting to see an artist's evolution over time.

at my show, the encore was "sun bleached flies"!

Re Arctic Monkeys:

These few songs have been alright for me but they really haven't resonated with me in the way that even TBHC did

Right? I liked TBHC and the vibe it had, but the singles I've heard thus far are even more slow and kind of boring? Not being mean to them, but IDK.
