#MusicMonday is the hashtag I've been using for quite a while to share music recommendations from up-and-coming artists. Always fresh, and always different, trying to look for trends before they become one. You can check September's review for more music.
A little bit late, but last month's review is in, and it was a great one for new music. Without further ado, let's listen to the tracks, with a word from the artists themselves. 🎧
The American Love Story - All My Friends Are Dead
All my friends are dead
Got a bullet in the head
The less that I expect
The more that I get
Orlando, FL. will be our starting point this month, with some alternative rock with a cool 80s guitar vibe:
"The song is about unrequited love and that is a feeling that lots of people can relate too...

XY&O - Wrap Around Me
I don't know where you start
no beat of my heart
won't tear us apart
From the UK. a Pop track about coming together and supporting each other, all with a touch of EDM:
"The track was inspired by togetherness and intimacy (in the broadest sense). It's about being there for one another and the healing power of physical touch with someone close to you."

A gripping feeling (feeling)
Draws you in
A coaxing darkness (darkness)
My best friend
The needle pulls you (pulls you)
Down deep within
You feel it pulsing (pulsing)
Inside your skin
In our (unofficial) monthly Doom / Stoner Rock section, we present a down-tempo psychedelic track that will make you feel you're being eaten alive by the Earth herself:
"Veinscraper was one of our oldest songs. It was written with the concept of someone going off the deep end of indulgence in mind. Since then it changed and was updated when [vocalist] Lynx joined.

te empieza a excitar
su personalidad
cosquillas esquivad
la noche singular
¡qué fuerte!
Is it Low-Fi, Power Pop, Post Punk, or Indie? This Madrid, Spain band may have a little bit of all mixed in for this track:
"Well, a girl who didn't love me is actually the inspiration.
I was wondering why I'd keep doing songs, if she no longer loved me.
The chorus is me trying to cheer myself up, and have the strength to let her go.
It's a goodbye song, "stay with yourself" I say at the end."

and you don’t succeed,
and you God damn risked it all,
And you don’t know why and you don’t know when
Let's go to Dublin City, Ireland for another 80s influenced indie track that can certainly resonate with the current global situation:
"The song to me is a love song, but not romantically. It's a tale of two friends who's relationship is no longer what it used to be, but no matter what they will always be there for one another.

Malgastando otra maldita noche
Comprendiendo que por tonto
Me perdí tus besos
Me perdí tus manos
Me perdí tus labios sonriéndome
Listen to them and much more on the complete Playlist
