Quite a few for today from a lot of bands I'm "familiar with" so this should be a good exploratory couple of days.

Bouquet - Feel in Color

I've enjoyed what I've heard from this expansive rock band in the past. This first listen is reminding me a bit of Waves by Moving Mountains, which is always a very welcome sound.

jizue - Mer

I went to Japan a few weeks ago and crafted myself a playlist on instrumental / classical Japanese music to soundtrack the trip. jizue were one of the standout discoveries, with a jazzy math-rock sound that always stood out when they showed up on shuffle. This is great timing for me to pick up a new release from them.

(Other major discoveries were toe and Special Others, which are both incredible and right at the top of my must-see list for live acts)

Other ones I'll be checking out

- Charmer - Downpour (Never ever listened to them, but see their name a lot around here)
- Spanish Love Songs - No Joy Sessions
- The Album Leaf - Lines in a Leaf
- Emma Ruth Rundle - Music from the Bella Vista
- St. Plaster - St. Plaster II (Sounds like my bag based off the similar artists from @Fox83)

 

Treaty Oak Revival - The Talco Tapes
The BonChons - Mr. Fix It
The Steeldrivers - Outrun

 

nothing new to offer that hasn’t been mentioned here, but i just started the charmer album and it sounds like it might be special

 

I just realized the album isn't on Apple Music yet FWIW, only Spotify - I think the band is aware and working on it. I probably should have posted a single for people to casually check out before searching for the full album...

 

MSPAINT
Charmer

Also new Twin Stacks. FFO: Drug Church, Fucked Up

 

Moving Mountains is one of my all time favorite bands just seeing that comparison has me sold!

 

Bad Beat
Charmer
MS Paint
Home is Where

 

Thank you for sharing these! I have not heard them before and since you posted this I will be checking out more!

 

• MSPAINT -- Weird, electronics infused post-hardcore. Wonderful & bursting with creativity.
• Charmer -- Catchy, modern emo done well.
• The Devil Wears Nada -- Insanely catchy AOR with some 80's-sounding synth.
• ...And Oceans -- Great progressive, symphonic-lite, black metal
• Witchrot -- Laid-back, gritty doom that can go thick & heavy, with vocals that can go from silky & seductive to howling.
• Thus Spoke Zarathustra -- Quick & heavy deathcore.

 

Charmer on repeat

 

House of Protection on repeat
