Past couple weeks I've been listening to a lot of music.
I tend to take breaks from listening to music for a week or two here and there.
Lately I have been listening to a lot of The Dallas Cowboys. The album Ashley Asked Me is so fucking chill and relatable.
Besides that I've been getting into folk, tweemo, acoustic emo, indie-folk, etc. whatever the fuck you want to call it. You know what I am talking about.
Conor Oberst is a reoccurring name for me during this music exploration. Oberst played drums in the band Park Ave. and founded the band Bright Eyes. While I enjoy Park Ave. and listen to them quite a bit, I've had the 2005 released album I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning by Bright Eyes in my daily handful of albums I tend to listen too while driving to work or rehearsal.
Easily comparable to Neutral Milk Hotel and The Mountain Goats.
Both being bands playing important rolls in my childhood as I spent days on my dad's shoulders at folk festivals and hanging out in the woods picking up cool sticks. The album just hits that nostalgia for me. It's a familiar sound.
I've been branching out more and returning to the bands I hear in these childhood memories. I believe it is helping me become more well rounded.
Similar to watching documentaries and reading.
Also so I don't get bored of Metal.
On that note. I have been listening to the 2002 self-titled album by Nehemiah, inspired by Scandinavian metal bands, my favorite track is easily Promises Of A Peaceful End (M.D.K). Between the opening sample to the fast paced riffs. This song along with every other song on the album is one of my favorite collections of music from the genre.
These couple weeks have really taught me there aren't many
combinations better than indie-folk and metal.
