Hello friends!
I’m pleased to present you with the following — one album that came out a year ago, one that was just released a week ago. In my notes (where I keep track of everything I’ve listened to that I plan to keep, that I plan to write about here, that I expect to possibly be a contender for one of my year end lists, and basically I just jot down a few descriptive words or phrases to help me keep track of it all, since frankly none of us are getting any younger and it keeps getting harder with each passing year), I described one of them as “nasty, raw BM with some atmospheric stuff” and the other as “atmospheric, dusty-crusty Swedish BM.”
If either of those descriptions — or both! — seem like they may be up your alley, then read on, read on!
