I mean, Black is a pretty good song, even if I prefer their State Of Love And Trust and Porch. Just me probably.
I’ve been so into Failure recently. Fantastic Planet is such a good album. But I can say one of my favourites is from their 2015 album. The song is just so powerful and I love it. Please welcome Counterfeit Sky…
What I like about Failure is that they have a level of maturity to their sound. Another band along that same vein is Sparta. In particular, their Wiretap Scars (2002) album. It won’t take long to grow on you, if it has any chance at all. It’s an interesting mix of harsh and smooth vocals, but it’s guitar-driven at its core.
I’ve been waiting for a while for this Tori Amos deep cut to be rediscovered and soundtrack some big scene in a prestige TV drama. Always get chills at the transitions around 3:33 and 4:33. “Oh little sister…you’ll forgive me one day.”
Good pick, my favourite Tori Amos albums are From the Choirgirl Hotel and To Venus and Back. Though my favourite Tori Amos song is “Cornflake Girl”. Go figure, lol.
I did give them a try, but I don’t think I got into them as much as I did Hum. Downward Is Heavenward is great, and You’d Prefer an Astronaut has some good stuff on it too.
Hum are one of my favorite bands. I finally got to see them a few years ago in Nashville. Great show. I can’t really choose between You’d Prefer An Astronaut and Downward Is Heavenward, I love them both too much. Inlet is good if you want more. Electra 2000 isn’t quite as strong, but isn’t bad at all. Fillet Show can be skipped, unless you’re a hardcore fan.
Prompted by a comment about practicing violin with pop songs in the Good Things thread, I found this awesome violin cover of Through the Fire and the Flames:
