Today's hip tunes. New music that isn't Classic Rock or Jazz!

Glad you like!

Hey Todd

Not stupidity! I must have a list of hundreds of releases from artists that I have not gotten 'round to exploring. And hey - I like the music I listen to and connect with more than that which I have not heard ;) I like much of the early 4AD stuff too.

Now, I am not much interested musical history per se, but I believe the Cocteau Twins have influenced many an artist, and some would argue movements. It is not just Fraser's voice or (lack of) vocals, but the delicate swirl and wall-of-sound of the other instrumentation.

I was listening to Spooky from Lush this morning - the influences are very clear. I also popped on Cocteau Twins' Tiny Dynamite, Echoes in a Shallow Bay, and Blue Bell Knoll - timeless (for me at least). I do not have a favourite so can not provide suggestions, but I think that their last two albums were a little more accessible or mainstream; less experimental. Anyhow, seek them out to find your own truth - and enjoy!
