New Music
Pinch Points – Haruspex (Mistletone) / In ancient Rome, a haruspex would read omens in the organs of slaughtered animals. The conversation around gendered violence is just as brutal and repetitive (h/t Exploding in Sound)
Quiet Commotion – All Others Strange / There’s something wrong here, seriously wrong. Quiet Commotion @our_quiet is a musical genius who has less than 200 followers. Please change this, check out their Elliott Smith-esque dark beautiful genius music. I don’t say that lightly. Truly stunning. – Limnetic Villains
