This is stunning, and not even anything I'd normally like.

Cameron Winter - Heavy Metal (2024)

This. It is stunning.

The voice is not something I instantly like, but it is effective as a folk (ETA: and gospel music) instrument. It reminds of something between Beirut (Zach Condon) and Syd Matters.

The Red Krayola - The Parable of Arable Land (1967)

I have never heard it, but read the Pitchfork review.

So, how do you like it?

Not my thing - interesting, experimental for it's time. Clearly influenced by Zappa's creative noodling and Frank did it better.

Bettie Serveert - Palomine (1992)

First listen for me. Given the current indie age of female vocalists like Phoebe Bridgers, this sound seems quite ahead of its time.

And the cover is SOOOOOO Cute

I guess in retrospect, it's the same year as PJ Harvey's debut so maybe BOTH were ahead of their time This one gets far less attention but still pretty good

Edit: learning! Led by female vocalist Carol Van Dijk, Bettie Serveert is not someone's name but rather Dutch for "Bettie Serves", or "Service to Bettie", which is the title of a book written by Dutch tennis player Betty Stöve, who made it to the Wimbledon Ladies Singles final in 1977
An interesting band name origin.

The Auteurs ~ New Wave (1993)



I do not mean to say that I do not like Britpop. I do.

Still and all, I might have favored it more had I (first) walked through this door.
