New Goat album, heavy on the pan pipes but heavy on the psych too!

@endo Their vid from Pitchfork live is awesome too. I like how they wear Cleopatra wigs lol. And if you like Khruangbin, check out Glass Beams. I think they only have a EP out but it's very similar. Groovy!

@GraemeE love this stuff

Ok… so I have never thought much of STP because I thought they were a mainstream Pearl Jam rip and I didn’t care much for PJ either.

That said, I fell in love with this song yesterday after not having heard it since it was on the radio. The video is nuts and has Sarah Michelle Gellar in it. Enjoy…

I feel like they always got a lot of shit — Weiland was such an easy target with all the posturing and generally debauched rocknrollery, but they were really pretty damn great. Purple’s such a good record.

I don't usually go in for rap music, but this guy Ren has a decent YouTube channel and has just dropped a great album called Sick Boi. Just been giving it a listen, he's got a real talent as a lyricist in my opinion.

This is the first track of his that I noticed on YT. Recommend a listen:

(Trigger warning for themes of mental illness & psychosis.)

@Matt STP is one of the headliners on my Grunge playlist lol.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@EdH wowzers, man. I hadn't heard of this at all, and was totally unprepared for that. Definite talent there. Kind of a hard listen, but that's good art right there.

[EdH]

@WhiskeySandwich Good point! Maybe should have issued a trigger warning, it hits hard!

[Giles]

Thank you @EdH - Will listen to more....

[WhiskeySandwich]

@EdH Nope, I like being surprised like that. I was glued to it the whole time. Thanks for sharing.

@EdH thanks for posting this. I never would have found it on my own and it’s a powerful piece. I’ll be thinking about it for quite a while.

Incredible voice and storytelling here, and heartbreaking. worth a listen (i have 100x or more from)

@EdH "Hi Ren" is a really rare gem of a song. It's unforgettable like when I first heard "I'm Not Racist" by Joyner Lucas a few years back.

[EdH]

In case anyone is wondering I first heard abour Ren from Justin Hawkins (the lead man from The Darkness). I've been following his YT channel for the last couple of years. It's been great for music discovery. He does these 10-15 minute reaction videos to tracks new and old. Worth a follow for all things rock.

@EdH Thank you so much. I'm loving Justin on YT, thoroughly entertaining....

@EdH I’ve seen a couple of news articles about Ren recently but assumed his music wasn’t my sort of thing. I was so wrong - I can’t remember the last time I reacted so strongly to new music. Thanks for sharing!
