Just Listening

 So, here's the thing.

I love music, I love pondering on it; it makes me think in concepts and metaphors and my boyfriend - who is brilliant, as well as a brilliant music archive - told me he liked the way I described things. 

Also: I have this habit of finding a song I absolutely adore / couldn't live without / can't imagine how I even breathed air without it for so many years... and then I never look into the back catalog of songs / albums. 

So!
For now: the intention of this blog is going to be to take a further peek. Whether it be sifting through my "liked" songs to further explore their entire albums or simply my first impressions of music that was suggested to me by loved ones (or instagram). (...Don't laugh, that's how I heard about The Last Dinner Party! More on them later.)

Also, for now: this is just for my boyfriend. So he can have something to read and also stop picking on me for never making a music blog. 

Enjoy, babe! <3

Cole Guerra 2000's - current alternative indie first song that reeled me in: "Buttoned Right" RAZOR, 2025 Okay, so, full transparency: there were actually three  songs that reeled me in: 1.     "Buttoned Right" 2.     "Ohio" 3.     "Razor" And the reason why there were all three, equally: this artist was recommended on my instagram / I checked them out on Spotify / The only selection I saw available to check out was this 3-track single/album called Razor. I laid in bed with the lights off that morning and let the three tracks pour over me.  They are all three so dynamic. And I welcome them after that dumpster fire of boredom I just experienced in the previous blog! Let's go! SCARVES & KNIVES (2005) The piano of "Away Awhile" mix well with the somber strings and downtrodden vocals. But: do not mistake this as a simple, sad little intro: there is still that occasional sinister signature to the keys. This already feels promisin...

Greentea Peng

Greentea Peng 2010's - current neo-soul first song that reeled me in: "Nah It Ain't The Same" MAN MADE, 2021 For anyone who ever got into Erykah Badu and wanted more but didn't quite know where to look. For anyone who loved Lauryn Hill's cool disposition on her laid back tracks. For anyone who just needs to chilllll, man... and have a nice, calm day. I share with you: Greentea Peng. Giving you exactly the environment necessary to propel you in that nice, hot shower with soft lighting in the bathroom. Incense. Tea. CBD. Giving you that hippie ease while still propelling you to accomplish things and be confident while you do so.  I don't have much experience in the neo-soul game. And as such: I'm just going to be highlighting some tracks in particular off of Greentea Peng's two records.  MAN MADE (2021) "Make Noise" kick starts the album in the key of: "unbothered". Very much: emotions unclcockable while still feeling everything a...

Morgan Delt

Morgan Delt 2010's - current...? (most recently featured on a "Re-Works" album by artist Volleyball in 2021.) alternative indie/psychedelic rock  first song that reeled me in: "Some Sunsick Day" Phase Zero, 2016 One of those songs that immediately felt familiar. It didn't remind me of anything but it instantly wrapped me in a soft blanket. Filling me with the same simple luxury a languid summer morning might. One where you're sprawled on the couch with a comic book or magazine or pulp fiction in your underwear. It's still early enough to fool yourself into thinking "I'll get up in a minute and get something accomplished". (You won't, but there will be no regret - only a shrug of your shoulders.) The window nearby is open. The breeze gives the room a little life and easy motion. It moves so you do not have to. You smell fresh air. It covers you. You smile. MORGAN DELT (2014) "Make My Grey Brain Green" swirls around you like...
