#24 - The Week of April 27 - May 1

Hi there,

This is a pretty big week for my wife and I. We are beyond excited to be moving to Raleigh, NC, the Tar Heel state. If any of you are in the area, let me know!

Last week's most clicked album was The Bonny by Gerry Cinnamon. You all seemed to love this album, which I cannot disagree with one bit.

Now turn your speakers up!

Angel Miners & The Lightning Riders

AWOLNATION

Genre: Alternative
Release Date: April 24, 2020
Top Tracks: The Best, Pacific Coast Highway In The Movies, California Halo Blue
Similar Artists: MISSIO, Cage the Elephant

“Angel Miners & The Lightning Riders” is the brainchild of Aaron Bruno, frontman for AWOLNATION. The imagery and mythological storytelling alone on this record could fuel a semester long seminar, so I will not even attempt to get into it here. Their sound straddles many different genres, and is an increasing argument against genre definition in the first place. You will hear passionate hard rock, grungy blues punk, electropop, and even cinematic guitar riffing. After listening, there is no doubt that the mind of Bruno is a breeding ground for masterpiece.

Bone Structure

Rone Pope

Genre: Americana
Release Date: March 6, 2020
Top Tracks: Dodge Aries Wagon, Wait and See, Practice What I Preach
Similar Artists: The Avett Brothers, Joshua Radin

Ron Pope can transport listeners to a different time period. His sound alone can do this, but add lyrics like “Drove a 1983 Dodge Aries Wagon with no A/C down that old New York thruway” and this effect is set in stone. His studio album, “Bone Structure” is full of words of Americana wisdom; interlaced with slide guitar, well executed harmonies, and acoustic goodness. Some of the album seems addressed to his young daughter, telling her “Flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood, only part of me I’ve ever loved.”

Thanks to Julia Gackenbach for the suggestion ✌🏽

The Far Field

Future Islands

Genre: Indie Pop
Release Date: April 7, 2017
Top Tracks: Ran, Through the Roses, Beauty of the Road
Similar Artists: The War On Drugs, Beach House

In the modern age, it is increasingly difficult to find bands with a truly distinctive sound. Many acts are recycled versions of a “popular formula”, but Future Islands is the complete opposite of this. Their synth-pop style, combined with Samuel T. Herring’s unique voice/tone create a dynamic combination. Their lyrics are calculated and meaningful, providing lines such as “You spend your whole life wishing and working, all you get is the end of the rope”.

MASTER BOOT RECORD

* This is a guest review by Tom Schneider, Founder of ElementForm

Genre: Electronic
Release Date: March 16, 2017
Top Tracks: DEFRAG.EXE
Similar Artists: Keygen Church, Binaerpilot aka. Alexander Stover

This is music for the maker. Oh, the struggle of the maker. The burning sensation in the eyes, tiredness in the hands, caffeinated veins, and a brain longing to keep awake. This is the time when you need to listen to an album that will fire up bursts of energy waves into your mind and unlock all the secret energy that you keep safe inside. Master Boot Record, "C:\>Chkdsk /f" is old school chiptune and synth-wave music with a blend of metal. This album will take you through a journey through the demo-scene of the good old days up to the maker scene, our golden age. Headphones recommended.

The First Lady

Faith Evans

Genre: R&B/Soul
Release Date: March 30, 2005
Top Tracks: Hope, Again, Tru Love
Similar Artists: Mary J. Blige, Beyonce

The NFL draft presented a timely short video before the start of the draft last week, and it involved Peyton Manning speaking about hope. The song playing in the background was "Hope" by Faith Evans and Twista, which is from Evans's 2005 album, "The First Lady". In the first verse, Twista says, "Wish I could go deep in a zone, and lift the spirits of the world with the words within this song." Although the situations in the song are not identical to ours now, almost 15 years later, this is exactly what he did (along with Evans); giving hope to those who are desperately looking for it.
