Go like my newest band, January.
It’s the trouble making, post-hardcore / post rock younger brother to Dancing the Atlantic. We have some stuff written that is musically somewhere between The Chariot and La Dispute, with some technical elements a la The Human Abstract.
We will probably be getting some demos up from both bands in the coming month or so.
AL K!NG - Casual Encounters
New concept album by Georgian artist AL K!NG of the Univesal Kingdom collective. Contains atmospheric and spacey Southern rap inspired by the film Blade Runner. Can’t say I know enough about the film to follow along with the concept but each track is visual enough to where listeners don’t need to really get Blade Runner to understand, which is a huge plus for a concept project.
