Toothless – Sisyphus

I just love this track. I discovered the music video recently and it is just awesome. Beast mode on. In a different genre, I highly recommend the track “Palm’s Backside” featuring Marika Hackman and another great music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FAg1SAFjTY

Mark Lanegan Special

After the post of Mark Lanegan I did previously, and because it’s my blog and I do what I want 😜, I decided to share with you five tracks featuring him. To avoid a too long post, I will just insert the YouTube links. Don’t worry, it will open in a new tab so you can keep browsing tracksdiscovery. I hope you will enjoy.

Chyldren – Creatures

Okay. So I went the other day to see the band Soon, She Said at the Supersonic (Paris) and Chyldren was playing before them, and…I loved it. Was it because of the singer’s smile letting the audience know she was happy to be here? Maybe it helped. But it was above all because of the music, of course. Justine was using a mi.mu glove on stage to modulate her voice. It was the first time I came across this and it is quite practical. You can see the demonstration of it by Justine here: https://youtu.be/HstY8Q3yLpk. The bass player was playing with a pick which is not epic, but we will forgive him. Unfortunately, the volume of the voice live was not loud enough compared to the other instruments to enjoy it as much as in the album.

My favourite tracks? Definitely “From The Earth To The Moon”, “Creatures”, and the first half of “Medusa”. Which one is yours?

Mark Lanegan – Skeleton Key

I present you Mark Lanegan, one of my favourite artist. His voice gives me chills. You may already have heard his voice if you listen to Queens of the Stone Age as he was part of the band. He also has been quite active lately as he released a solo album in 2017, an album with Duke Garwood in 2018, a solo one in 2019, and another one is on its way for 2020.

I am so glad to listen to his gravelly voice again, and this song gives me some chills. I must say I was less a fan of his last album “Somebody’s Knocking” released in 2019 (I should try it again though because he had some good songs in it). To me, this track is in the same spirit and atmosphere than the ones from his album “Blues Funeral” (my favourite from him so far).
