^ Lol. Trying to get the attention of PAers can be like trying to suck blood from a stone. Okay, I’m really just saying that to keep up the sucking blood theme. That would strike me as not on-topic enough, and maybe a bit crass (a more negative term than I want, but adroit words with the right finesse escape me). I’m not a big one for promotion really, although I do like to bring recognition to art and issues that I care about. I would be a terrible salesman. The Goth poll would be for much later. I had wanted to do an Interactive playlist of the dark wave and ethereal wave variety to complement your New Wave one. Maybe No Wave, synthwave and booty wave too. If you don’t know bootywave, it’s like a booty tsunami according to a song featured on The Onion.
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment.

Mila: For Monika Roscher Bigband's Starlight Nightcrash, fantastic song, I did use your alternative, the official video off the album Witchy Activities and the Maple Death as it is the version off the studio album rather than the live witch or which is from 2017. Great choice of track from MRB. I almost went with one off the latest album myself, but I couldn't decide on which one. That would have been a great choice. And just because I knew it already does not mean that I won't be voting for it.

^ That's very true, Nickie. I might suggest one of mine.

And since we're on a new page and I know some forum members most usually just look at the most recent page if clicking on a topic, here is the playlist:



https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4I-4Ju7rKbdyTgSUAh4jYNc

And here are links to the whole albums on bandcamp:

ALL HANDS_MAKE LIGHT- "The Sons and Daughters of Poor Eternal" off "Darling the Dawn" (2023) BANDCAMP ALBUM LINK
Jeremias Keller - "Silicium" (2023) off Alloy BANDCAMP ALBUM LINK
Secret Sky - "Opium" off Opium (2023) BANDCAMP ALBUM LINK
Maud the moth + trajedesaliva - "Perla" off Bordando el manto terrestre (2023) BANDCAMP ALBUM LINK
La théorie des cordes - "ALP La colosse d'Anatolie" off 4U​-​9525 (2023) BANDCAMP ALBUM LINK
Teke::Teke - "Hoppe" off Hagata (2023) BANDCAMP ALBUM LINK
Katie Kim - "Gentle Little Bird" off Hour of the Ox (2022) BANDCAMP ALBUM LINK

All are welcome to join in with contemporary/modern tracks they like that are fairly recent discoveries to you. You don't even have to comment, vote or listen to other's choices, although it would be much appreciated. Please see original post if submitting. I would ask for some new blood, but I might save that request for an Interactive Goth poll I want to do at some time. ;) [insert goth vampire emoji here]

@Greg:  I think that some of these acts certainly might qualify for PA, too, so they might bear a bit more of exposure in here, too, if they are not already here.

Thanks, I don't know how many beyond the regulars check the Interactive polls and would find it useful, let alone how many who participate would check out the links at some time, but I'm all for even potential exposure. I think that I will start a topic in General Music Discussions where I can drop these links and people can add more links to contemporary albums that they have heard as recent finds. Or just another 2020s list topic, in General Music discussions, but I do like those topics that include links and preferably a little basic info about the albums.

Great idea, Greg!  More exposure for the artists.  Smile

^ Thanks, Kees. I like that a lot.

^^^^^ George, yep, having listened to it all, I think that it's a wonderful playlist.

^^^^Thanks, ipd.

^^ Mila, I considered suggesting something off Monika Roscher Bigband's Witchy Activities and the Maple Death. I like the whole Witches Brew suite, but it gets divided up into smaller tracks. I was thinking MRB is one you might well appreciate.

Owwww, this risks to hurt my wallet. Haven't listened yet to Mila's suggestion and I have listened to the iNFiNiEN album a couple of weeks/months ago and it is really a great album. But I'm very impresses by the other suggestions so far and will definitely explore the albums they're from. They're all quite awesome to my ears. I see that Ephrim Menuck - of Silver Mt. Zion fame - is at the source of ALL HANDS_MAKE LIGHT, so that alone is already a recommendation...

Talking about post-rock, you remember my Mondkopf suggestion a couple of IA-polls ago? So, after I came to his album, I started to explore what he had done before or otherwise and learned he's part of Oiseaux-Tempête. Didn't know this band, but I discovered today that they are on PA (however, the database is not really up-to-date: at least five or six albums from their more recent discography are missing...). They are rapidly becoming one of my favourite post-rock bands. From their latest album What On Earth (Que Diable):

Ok, here's a first proposal from me.

Monika Roscher is a German jazz and independent guitarist, composer, singer and big band leader. Her band attracted national attention with their mixture of big band brass sections, elements of rock, pop and electro, as well as cinematic sound dramaturgies.

I chose a live video because the performance is an integral component of their art. The song was apparently written earlier but only released on their latest album.

Monika Roscher Bigband: Starlight Nightcrash (Album: Witchy Activities and the Maple Death, 2023)

This is sounding great. Only two tracks in. "The Sons and Daughters of Poor Eternal" is a strong opener with the organ/drone.

I love Silicium. It makes we envision a cross-country train ride through a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Looking forward to hearing the rest.

^ & ^^ While "Perla" is the pearl of my eye, both are excellent submissions.

I'll do a second, which is Katie Kim's "Gentle Little Bird" off the album Hour of the Ox, which was released in September 2022. She is from London originally and now in Dublin (I love Dublin and southern Ireland generally and would like to live there myself).

^^ Kees: And I love that ALP... too. I realise that I likely will want to dispense with my idea of limiting votes as the suggestions have already been just way too good per my tastes and if these keep up, I'll be voting for most everything (I would not vote for my own).

^ And George, and that Teke::Teke - Hoppe is so exuberant and wonderful. Loving it too. This is the "bestest" listing of music per my tastes in a row that I can recall in these polls.

Limiting the number of votes is not just out the window, it's hit clear out of the park -- well, other than don't vote for your own because that's just not cricket.

I am going to repost the last track I posted in Greg's one YouTube video per post thread, but I will say a little more about this Montreal-based Japanese psych-rock seven-piece called Teke::Teke. They started out as a tribute band to the music of Takeshi Terauchi, the king of Japanese surf music. Maya Kuroki was a regular at their shows and became their vocalist as they started writing originals. I first heard of them a few months back from a track off their 2021 debut album Shirushi that popped up on my Amazon discovery playlist. It's a fabulous mix of psychedelic, surf, and Japanese music. The instruments are guitar, bass, drums, flute, and trombone. Then a couple of weeks ago, they released their second album Hagata. An even more adventurous outing than their first. Both albums are fantastic.

Teke::Teke - Hoppe (2023)

On PA, but I guess not that much known yet and that should be corrected, because what I've discovered just recently is one wonderful band: La théorie des cordes. A recent thread - with information and explanations - pointed me to their latest release of this year (listen to it on bandcamp). A wonderful jazzy and post-rocky album, which led me to their other exceptional releases...
