What's your latest first listen?

[Robbie]

My favourite thing about music is hearing something you love for the first time. It's magic!

How about we all share the latest song that's made us take a moment out to stop and enjoy it? Here's mine.

I've been a fan of Ween for years, but guess I didn't hear it at the right time. Excited to hear yours!

I first came across this song when I was playing Borderlands 2. Since then, I'm hooked!

I just fixed it for you, hope that's ok. You need to paste the embed code into the html tab, not the Rich Text tab 🙂

Oops, it won't happen again! 🙂

Check out this new track!

Well, I've got a pretty obscure one today. This artist is new to me; just happened to hear it in a playlist I was following and really enjoyed the song.

[dinomight]

Actually, I have two to post today. I've been really impressed with Broods so far. Can't wait to hear a full album from them.

Just came across the band San Fermin the other day and am really enjoying them. The lead single off their self-titled debut, Sonsick, is a standout track in my opinion. Methuselah is also really great. They remind me of The National meets Haim if that makes any sense. Give it a listen!

And Robbie, I think our taste in music must be extremely similar. Ween is amazing. The Mollusk probably ranks up there in one of my favorite albums of all time. I saw one of their last live performances at Lollapalooza in 2011 (I think) and will never forget it hahaha

Got sent this track today, really good:

Great shout @user-removed I've been listening to San Fermin – Renaissance! quite a bit. Tried to catch them when I was in Chicago but the show was already sold out 😞 They were touring with these guys:

Loved this after the first listen:

So I've always been a fan of The Strokes, and Heart in a Cage is one of my favorite songs by them.

But then I just found a cover version by Chris Thile--mandolinist of The Punch Brothers--that absolutely blew me away on the first listen.

I caught these guys at Way Out West opening for Mac Demarco and I was blown away.
