Mythodea: February 2022 🎧 Listening Room

Mythodea 02.02.22	have a great month everyone
Demon of the Fall 02.02.22	I'm stuck in January's, cannot escape
Trifolium 02.02.22	Me too, have not yet been in the actual 'let's listen to new stuff' mood for a while. Hope it hits soon!
NOTINTHEFACE 02.02.22	Ode and Elegy https://odeandelegy.bandcamp.com/album/ode-and-elegy
Mythodea 02.03.22	@Demon Completely understandable, January has some fire releases @Trif Whenever you're ready, I'll be here trying to deliver the goodies. By the way, did you ever check ''For the Source'' by Black Folks don't Swim? I think it's right up your jazz alley @NOTINTHEFACE I'm listening to it now ;)
Trifolium 02.03.22	No I didn't yet check that one, it's still on my Pile. But it's near the top so as soon as the mood hits, I'll check it. I think it's going to happen today, it's an office day today so I don't have my CDs to interfere with my new music listening here.
Demon of the Fall 02.03.22	https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/%EC%95%BC%EC%95%BC-%ED%82%B4-yaya-kim/a_k_a-yaya/ check this out, just added it to the database Arty, jazzy, soulful, trip-hoppy, poppy, rocky, noisy. The RYM link is just for the additional info. Nothing I could say really does it justice, there's a lot to take in and each disc is distinct. Warning: it's looooooong... 3 x LP!
Demon of the Fall 02.03.22	Apologies, from Jan. Is this a legal move?
Mythodea 02.03.22	Of course it is, we can't check and cover EVERYTHING every month, some of it will bleed into the next ones. I also included an album from December '21 on the previous list I like how you added it to the sput db, but you still gave the link from RYM :P
Trifolium 02.03.22	Oh my gosh Myth that Black People Don't Swim record is gorgeous ✨🌈🤩🌈✨ Totally in love! You know my taste. Your rec is up next Demon!
Mythodea 02.03.22	Holly hell, one minute in the first song ''Anger is my Power'' and it already is AOTY @Trif You've already suggested so much good music, I feel it's only fair I give back something
Trifolium 02.03.22	💚 Very appreciated! Contacted the gang if they were planning a CD release, who knows!
Demon of the Fall 02.03.22	Lol Myth. I felt dirty but the RYM page has some potentially useful info whereas I literally just added it to Sput (so it's rather bare). Help me with the tags, I think trip-hop, pop, rock, jazz all work. It's not poppy in a traditional sense, maybe I'll just get rid of that one? No 'art/progressive pop' tags here. Edit: it's almost experimental / progressive in nature even though most of the individual parts are pulling from instantly recognisable styles. Very ambitious.
Mythodea 02.03.22	I'd say blues, trip hop tbh, because I really feel like it's pumping from that genre pool. Could be wrong, of course (usually am)
Demon of the Fall 02.03.22	yeah maybe blues, there's a ton of influences at play... I'm confused, in a good way are you enjoying it?
Mythodea 02.03.22	Totally. Put it on with my sibling and we both had a blast. I'll add it tomorrow probably on here, so if you have any suggestion for the ''check also'', feel free
Demon of the Fall 02.03.22	very nice! The length is rather unwieldy, hope I do actually get the chance at a full headphone-wearing listen one day. Maybe I'll divide it up into the 3 parts for the time being. 'check also' is going to be tough, it touches upon a few things I can maybe see but as a whole will be quite different to all of them... I lack the knowledge.
Mythodea 02.04.22	Well, I went with Bjork for the reasons mentioned, though the albums are not really similar. If anything more appropriate pops up, I'd be glad to replace it. Off we go to another album! (probably will add the new Cult of Luna next)
Mythodea 02.07.22	hello Anybody here?
Demon of the Fall 02.07.22	I also thought of Post even though it isn't appropriate, haha. Ode & Elegy sounds like it might be right up my street!
JohnnyoftheWell 02.07.22	wow nice it's take a shot another female vocalist who writes her own songs and has beats and a voice is compared to bjork day again, i vom
Mythodea 02.07.22	@Johnny I actually never mentioned writing her own songs, or beats, or voice, but the genre hopping as the common denominator. Also also I stated that I had no clue which one to choose and asked for suggestions. You have anything? I'll wait until your stomach feels better
Demon of the Fall 02.07.22	I also thought of Fiona Apple, does this anger you Johnny? I have more where that came from.
JohnnyoftheWell 02.07.22	oh nice it is a singing lady who also genre hops, the smallest species on the earthsphere Fiona Apple is much more accurate thank u Demon
Demon of the Fall 02.07.22	oh, but that was designed to anger... Shiina Ringo then?
JohnnyoftheWell 02.07.22	Shiina Ringo also far more appropriate, if for the weaker arm of her discog
Mythodea 02.07.22	JohnnyoftheWell: gets mad people don't know as much music as he does also JohnnyoftheWell: *writes vitriolic comments but never actually shares knowledge, being the worst type of gate-keeper and kind of a douchebag''
Mythodea 02.07.22	While we're at it, suggest sth for BC/NR because I yet again don't know what I should put there...
JohnnyoftheWell 02.07.22	oof that's a hard gg for easy bait
JohnnyoftheWell 02.07.22	and oh oops, arcade fire are the closest self-professed touchstone for that record and are cited relatively directly at points, so ig roll with them brb deleting every review i've written this yr and pledging my soul to eternal informative comments of the bjork(/kate bush) =/= the entirety of female vox in (f)art pop genre but b4 that brb until i am done tearing out each of my eyelashes one at a time progress doesn't happen in small gestures
Mythodea 02.08.22	bump
Demon of the Fall 02.08.22	I'm tentatively looking forward to the new Persefone album, haven't peeked yet. I was genuinely going to say Arcade Fire for BCNR simply to irritate Johnny... I'm clearly not very good at this game.
Mythodea 02.08.22	You can listen to the new Persefone album on the Youtube Music link I've put ;)
Mythodea 02.12.22	and we're back with two awesome albums out on Friday 11th. Drop your ideas for artists similar to Alt-j below Thanks
NOTINTHEFACE 02.14.22	Glad you enjoyed Ode & Elegy. I haven't even had time to go through the whole thing myself honestly but your thoughts mirror the general consensus. Very cool project idea!
Mythodea 02.15.22	thank you for making the suggestion @NOTHINGFACE! It's indeed a stellar album. Thank you for the feedback as well ;)
Mythodea 02.20.22	This list has been a bit inactive lately, but we're back with three very different albums for all tastes. More on the way!
Mythodea 02.22.22	Heads-up, Axenrot/Mendez project added
