Hi Nosce. I did read the one on The Exorcist, & commented.
Wow, the song “Break Myself in Two” by Hazelwood Motel is another musical gem that instantly excited me & made my ears perk up—one of those “I’ve gotta find out what song this is!” moments. I swear, this podcast is one of my favorite ways to find new songs. I appreciate the work you do to gather music, Jasun, and I’m glad that fresh songs keep popping up on your podcasts—-you make a good DJ.
Aren’t they great? & the best part is they are almost totally unknown so their music arrives pure & unencumbered by the hooks of hype. the downside is that there’s just this one album & since that I guess they had to go back to their day jobs…. 🙁 But almost every song on the album is of similar quality, so you’ll be hearing them all eventually.
