This week's Other People's Music takes a dive into the darkness! A couple different takes on dark, moody industrial; high-energy, eclectic electronic dance music; instrumental power pop; and a retro acid house flashback!

Hi there 
,
I'm Brad, I'm new to Chinwag, but not new to fedi (been here since late 2018).
I'm keen to chat about music, it was a huge part of my life way back when I studied it at uni. I'll give almost anything a good listen but genres I've spent the most time with might be: #Jazz (#HardBop, #PostBop, #FreeJazz), #ClassicalMusic (#ChamberMusic, #Orchestral, #Baroque), #Rock (#AlternativeRock, #PowerPop, #NewWave, #ProtoPunk, #ElectronicRock).
I'm very keen to learn whatever I can from folks who're into the earth and life sciences. #Geology, #Biology, #MolecularBiology, #PrebioticChemistry.
Cheers.

The prompt is Yen
Pete Shelley, “Sky Yen”
We first met #PeteShelley as frontman of #PowerPop-inflected #punk band #Buzzcocks, and his #synthpop solo work following their dissolution, but he was busy making sounds before any of that happened.
Recorded in 1974 on, as the jacket states “purpose-built oscillator,” Sky Yen was released in 1980 when Buzzcocks were perhaps at their commercial peak, it’s hard to imagine this being pressed and released under any other circumstances.
You’ll note I referred to this work as “sounds” rather than music; this work, recorded a year before #LoReed’s arguably more musical (really) #MetalMachineMusic was released, challenges any definition of music, anticipating the #noise and #ambient genres.
I don’t expect anyone to sit through the entire length of the linked piece, but hop around a little to get a sense of the variety of sounds young Pete was no doubt annoying his parents with.
New #review today: "Nothing too complicated about it, #NickPiunti and crew are back with ten new songs of a distinctive rockin’ pedigree. Even though it might sound unbelievable, over the course of six or so albums his clever approach to that high energy sound known as #PowerPop has only gotten better and more engaging with each subsequent release." #ExposeOnline http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/nick-piunti-and-the-complicated-men-up-and-out-of-it-3.html
New #introduction thread (1/3)
Edinburgh-based #music #podcast, mostly #ccmusic. Started back in 2010 and ran weekly for 7 or 8 years. Now it's more sporadic, lots of shows in 2023 but this year a bit of a hiatus. It will return soon!
Generally the music is #indie #alternative #punk #powerpop #postpunk #shoegaze #indiepop #indierock #folk #antifolk
Beware though - it's unscripted rambling from me. Hopefully the music makes up for it.
Also #GenX, the best generation
One of the greats. Please donate if you can spare anything. #Music #PowerPop https://gofund.me/48955bce
Cheer Captain – “Enemies to Lovers Arc”
Guitar-driven power pop that brings sharp riffs, big choruses and a sense of fun to the table.

Four different song-based approaches and one weird soundscape in this week's Other People's Music! We've got psychedelic lo-fi post punk, power pop, sophisticated synth pop and freak-folk guitar pop this week. Plus that soundscape based on the works of Dante! This week's a doozy!

New #review today: "We’ve covered the last few releases by #ExNorwegian on #ThinkLikeAKeyRecords, and with these reissues, we’re jumping back in time to look at a couple of early albums that are newly remastered. Sketch was the band’s second full-length album, originally released in 2010." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock #PowerPop http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/ex-norwegian-sketch-house-music-2024-remasters-2.html
