7Songs X
A return of 7Songs: where I list seven songs which have been on rotation over the last few weeks.
1. Elder - Sonntag
- Another gorgeous album from the New England doomsters
- Sonntag has a fantastic buildup
2. Night Demon - Stranger in the Room
- Catchy heavy metal hearkening to Priest and Maiden - done right, without sounding contrived.
- I like the slower pace of Stranger in the Room
3. Depeche Mode - Going Backwards
- Obviously literal song message is obvious.
- Great return to form!
4. Tame Impala - New Person, Same Old Mistakes
- Why is this so incredibly catchy and seductive - the bassline? The bassline.
- Bonus: There’s a Rihanna cover (!)
5. Impure Wilhemina - Bones and Heart
- This is Discouraged Ones era Katatonia with gusto (!)
- Interesting band name triva
6. Tyler, The Creator - Boredom
- Never been a solo-Tyler fan, but boy, this album is fantastic!
- Boredom is the perfect type of hip-hop song: clever and infectious.
7. Chelsea Wolfe - The Culling
- This is impressive and enjoyable songwriting right here.
- The Culling pulls the right amounts of ambience, drone, and sludge to create an ethereal landscape.
