What are you listening to right now?

 
sick band & one of their best tracks. i remember seeing posters up around my high school for their old crows/young cardinals tour, they played my (second) favourite venue in the city with La Dispute and Norma Jean. i'd heard them before, my sister had definitely played Boiled Frogs a couple of times around the house, but seeing that poster made me go "whoa this looks cool as hell". it's not their most popular record but it holds a special place in my heart as a result
 
I've recently found myself listening to Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares (that is, "The Mystery of Bulgarian Voices"), a collection of traditional Bulgarian folk music recorded by the Bulgarian State Radio & Television Female Vocal Choir. Beautiful in its own right, surreal to hear as a lifelong fan of dozens of musicians that it has inspired. Of particular note, Kenji Kawai's soundtrack to Ghost in the Shell (1995) would not exist without this album.

I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone with a soul. Use properly powered speakers, I feel as if songs of this nature are best appreciated when they resonate in a room.

 

getting matryoshka onboard to do some tracks for the Shallie OST was one of the best decisions okamura ever made. really sells the "the world is the worst it's ever been but we're still hopeful & working on it" theme of Shallie. underrated game from my favourite atelier trilogy, i'd say they're due for a replay if i weren't so busy.. playing other stuff

Maybe the most beautiful love song of all time, honestly
categorically untrue when Trap Queen exists
