The latest episode of What We Do in the Shadows has introduced me to The Silent Companions.

... dancing... beetles...

I thought that was going to do it, but then...

... with pissburnt trousers...

It fits the sensibilities of What We Do in the Shadows perfectly. It seems like something Laszlo would write.

Al Green has a new track out where he covers "Everybody Hurts" and it sounds like it was written for him.

First solo album ever!

New Opeth today. I actually woke up a little early so I could throw on the good headphones and spin this in complete silence before the rest of the house woke up. Totally worth it, this is a remarkable album.

After 13 years of straying into King Crimson-style prog, they've finally gone back to their metal roots...and it was worth the wait. Interestingly, they now blend the best of both worlds with unique and really interesting song structures supported some of the most brutal shit they've ever done. Feels like they stepped away from metal for a decade plus only to come back, plant the flag in the middle of the scene, and say "Not only can we still do this whole metal thing if we want, but we can still do it better than 99.9% of the rest of you".

Oh, and Ian Anderson being the Narrator for this concept album and providing some excellent fluting (flauting?) was a brilliant decision. He's awesome, as always.

Will obviously be giving it plenty more spins today (and for the foreseeable future), but I already know that this will be neck-and-neck with Blood Incantation's "Absolute Elsewhere" for 2024's album of the year.

Yeah this album is pure brilliance. Blood Incantation Absolute Elsewhere was my album of the year before this album. Both of these are amazing.
