The future of soul music is secure with folks like this dude around!

Next is the title track which is perfect...

Later we get this fucking gem...

Brit rock, forever, people!!

The Autumn Defense: Here and Nowhere

October really rolled by fast and I feel like I've neglected the Autumn Music Series this year. Not many posts. But the latest album from The Autumn Defense marginally makes up for it. Here and Nowhere is quite a fall wonder and I highly recommend a listen.

Opening track...

Twenty One Pilots: Breach (Album of the Week)

Twenty One Pilots are, in many ways, the perfect American band. They tell stories about middle America and their life experiences in very painful yet wonderful ways. Their latest is called Breach and it forcefully continues this general theme.

The able opens with this fantastic number

The imagery...just haunting.

This one is likely my favorite on the record. It just kills!

I am very grateful that this outfit continues to tell the story of my country.
