thread of what katherine is listening to at this particular moment

no idea if this is the same vocalist from Babydrum (seems more likely than not) (really regret missing the boat on hearing their full tracks), or when these came out, and these may be the only two tracks ever to be in existence by her; however, they're quite promising, and more wistful than par

maykay from fight like apes tweeted about this Irish indie group PowPig, which is already nearly an instant listen for me, even if they didn't so often remind me of early throwing muses demos. this in particular is possibly the best song that will ever be written about The Room

and speaking of throwing muses, I've also been listening to the new Fred Abong EP

someone made an aggregator that shows you a random YouTube video uploaded with the default name, and within the first five refreshes it turned up someone who appears to be someone affiliated with the whole post-weeknd thing.

sleep thieves' fortress EP was one of my favorite records of last year (as usual like an idiot I forgot to pitch it anywhere); I went on their soundcloud to see what tracks they liked, and this was the first among them; I was on the fence until the strings around 1:00. more of those, everywhere.

sort of in the intersection of alt-rock/dreampop/trip-hop (maybe just "teardrop") at times, and goes many places within it

loving this

I know very little about this artist but the label consistently releases stuff I like, this in kind of a japanese dream pop mode

that's a great track. coming from hokkaido and going to tokyo must be quite a shock. i have never been to japan but i always wanted to go.

another egyptian indie track, this one from last year, getting into slightly crunchier territory, also a little "I'm a Marionette" in there
