> from the album "Don't Feed The Monster"
Hm-m… For some reason that album sounded rather bland to me… 🤔
Maybe I should give it another spin! 😁

@m0xee

he has his ups and downs 😁

but i definitely vibe with what he stands for ⚡

@unspeaker
I'm not a vegetarian and maybe I just didn't like his song about beef 😜
From a later album, which is very good BTW.
In any case, he's very skilled — always a pleasure to listen to!

But right now I'm too hooked on AJ Suede. I found out about him when Fake Four made his album with Televangel available for free! In FLAC! 🤩
Check it out: fakefour.bandcamp.com/album/me
But he sounds "darker" and that might be not your thing, Homeboy Sandman sounds easygoing even when he touches serious topics 😄

@unspeaker
But the best part was that the have released a follow-up to that collaboration right the next year. And it was just as good!
Now I dig everything he does, even if I don't like some release originally, it starts growing on me eventually — and he keeps cranking out like 4-5 of them every year. It's very rare for me to like the output of someone so prolific!
Sorry for highjacking your Homeboy Sandman thread 😋

@m0xee

don't apologize for *making* it a thread, friend - it's what these things are for, after all 😁 thanks for the rec, queuing it up!

@m0xee

bangers 🔥 diggin em! fave so far: vox machina 👀

@unspeaker
There's a video for Vox Machina, but it's nothing special, the song kinda speaks for itself.
Oh, I LOVE that record! It might sound, you know… non-anthemic, repetitive even, but then it starts giving you this psychedelic effect and it all… just flows, then you start noticing the highlights, amazing!
I recommend the follow up to it that I have already mentioned and this one: ajsuede.bandcamp.com/album/opt

@unspeaker
The one with steel-tipped dove is good too, there is even a video: youtube.com/watch?v=UZD3ciOeNW
The song has funky cinematic and videogame references. This guy should be on Fedi, would fit right in 😂
But take your time of course, I think I got so addicted precisely because I had the opportunity to not spread my attention too thin.

@unspeaker
I was enjoying them as they were coming out and could give each more than a handful of listens — the old-school way to enjoy music: when there were no streaming services and you could only afford a new CD only every once in a while, but you could give it your full attention.
