Mabe Fratti – Desde El Cielo

Video 5 Comments

Lots of options for best of 2023, but Mabe Fratti (and her group Titanic) were the things I found this year that I came back to over and over again that felt new and different for my musical tastes.  The full KEXP performance by Fratti that this is excerpted from is pretty cool as a full show.

Ratboys – Making Noise for the One You Love

Video 1 Comment

2023 saw a lot of excellent new albums from bands with a female lead and dudes playing indie rock. Bully, Wednesday, Blondeshell all had amazing albums (and local shows). Bully and Wednesday also made the 2023 Summer Mix. Ratboys also had a great new album and I really like this opening song.

Bee Balm Fields – Whiskey Walkin’

Video 1 Comment

Based in Mankato, Bee Balm Field released Whiskey Walkin' off the local Round Bale Recordings label in August and its been a constant in my music rotation since. The album is a mixture of Americana and Blues and Rock. I couldn't find a decent live performance of title track so here is their video for "Whiskey Walkin' "

The National – Space Invader

Video 6 Comments

 

https://youtu.be/jMxiLHENDFI?si=SlUKxq7saVthcbBQ

It was either this or the one by the 40% Radiohead band, and while I probably like the other song just a LITTLE more, I actually got to see this song live when The National came to town a few months ago. Continue reading The National – Space Invader →

aespa – “Girls”

Video

Hi!

So my search to find a live video that did my two favorite rock records of the year justice (DEATHWESTERN and God's Country) was futile. I knew I wasn't going to find anything off the rap albums I had in extremely heavy rotation all year (but seriously thanks for the tunes Curren$y, Jay Worthy, and Ramirez!). Then remembered my song of the summer.

"Girls."

J & I watched the MV for this in bed the first night it dropped, and I was pretty instantly smitten. The production rules and had what seemed like a bunch of lore being referenced in the song, so I had to know more. Then we proceeded to listen to this mini album in the car basically all year long. We started going to this neighborhood market all the way on the other side of Winnipeg which is just a long enough drive I don't have a lot of deeper meaning for this one. It's just a banger, and I like the vibes.

I feel bad for not being around much, but, you know, life is a lot. I hope next year is better and that I can see y'all around more in 2023. <3
