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).

Charly Bliss – Young Enough

Oh oh oh Merry Christmas and happy holiday to you all.

Today, I want to share with you one of my favourite band of 2019: Charly Bliss. They released their second album in spring 2019 and I’m so happy to have been able to see them live in Paris. They played some songs of this album, which still wasn’t released at the time, and a cover of “Mr Brightside”. It definitely was the best 2019 concert I went to. So much happiness, so much joy.

I definitely enjoy this album. I love the pressure building in “Blown To Bits”, the electro touch of “Capacity”, the lively beat of “Under You”, the short but powerful “Fighting In The Dark” , the bass line in “Young Enough”…I won’t comment the lyrics and will let you discover them and enjoy the album.

Sin Kitty – Vanity Daze

Today will be a short post. I wanted to share with you this track from Sin Kitty. I don’t know much about them and don’t remember how I came across there album. It had been a while since I listened to it. I put it randomly today and it was a really nice surprise. I really appreciated this song but the whole album is at the same level. The voice and the guitar really fit well together. Some tracks on the album made me think of Lush. If you want more, I put the bandcamp player below.
