Saharan rock, now I know. Although it is somewhat different then rock and more like what indie is to rock—not in a quality sense, but more in a sidestepping different thing sense. On a different note: this cover.
Mdou Moctar - Ilana (The Creator)
The Underground Youth - Montage Images Of Lust & Fear
Psychedelic rock and post-punk and cold wave.
Millencolin – SOS
Current dose of punk rock. The album cover and the title track music video are just unfathomable bad, no excuse for that. But the music still rocks.
Note: I liked their 2015 album, too, a lot actually, I wonder why that didn’t end up here. Funny thing is it was among my ten most listened-to records that year, but didn’t make the final cut of the Top 10 at the time.
Estrons – You Say I’m Too Much, I Say You’re Not Enough
They say alternative, NME says punk, and this is my idea of good indie rock. And a blast first record.
An Orange Conspiracy – AOC
That cover.
Alien Sex Fiend – Possessed
Such authentic industrial music this is. Love it.
Public Memory – Demolition
A surprisingly triphop album in 2018 with an equal balance of rock and electronics. Reminds me of Archive most.
The Necromancers – Of Blood and Wine
So many rocks from psychedelic through prog to even stoner, it’s many blends of hard rock, really something refreshing.
KOLARS – KOLARS
Alternative pops, garage sounds, dreamy moods, party out rocks. It’s like when the Asteroids Galaxy Tour was new, or the music to listen to at a festival bench while drinking up the more-than-tenth beer and shot.
Clutch – Book of Bad Decisions
New Clutch album, does what it has to.
