31 Days of Music Discovery| Day 10

June, Day 10
Artist: BROODS

So, I found ONE MORE duo. There's something about two people making music and me finding them. I do not do this intentionally. I do not google "Music Duo". I need you to believe me!
Anyway......BROODS is a brother-sister duo from New Zealand. I listened to their self titled EP-BROODS. When it started off they sounded a lot like "Oh Wonder". But that was it. They do sound like a lot of other artists i listen to but still have their own identity. They'e mainly female vocals and occasional male vocals and that sounds pretty good to my ears.  I will most likely listen to their album "Evergreen" tomorrow. My prediction is, I'll (probably) like it! :)

31 Days of Music Discovery| Day 8

I have successfully crossed the one week mark with one missed update. Now that i feel more than better, I shall update punctually!
So, today I finally got around to listening to Anirudh Ravichander's eighth cinema music score for the movie "Maari". Not a lot of people know I am a huge fan of Anirudh Ravichander music and thoroughly enjoy a lot of his songs. His songs are in a way typical tamil songs but also aren't(?). It has the blend of thapang and hip-hop, for example and i find that it's a genius combination. Anyway, the album is really catchy and my personal favourite is " Oru Vidha Aasai" which sounds very new-age, jazzy and too damn catchy. 

(And no, i am not Tamilian, but i do have tamil influences in my family. You don't have to be the speaker of a particular language to enjoy the music right? Right!)

Now, I chose to listen to the band "Ra Ra Riot". This indie band has a cello player and a violinist. They go from sounding like musicians from the Victorian era at times, to 90's teen movie theme songs and so obviously i loved listening to them. I listened to their album "The Orchard". I enjoyed it! 

     

                                         

31 Days of Music Discovery | Day 7

Today has been, what seems like to me, a very short day. Why? Because firstly, I woke up at 12 in the noon. That's half a day spent in sleep. Secondly, today was a very good bollywood movie day. i watched the brilliant "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara" (again) and it was the best therapy I could've asked for. Naturally, one of the reasons it has that effect is because of it's music. You guessed it, I went back and listened to the movie soundtrack:

Later today I also happened to watch "Haider". What an intense movie. 

Before bed, to unwind I clicked on a random suggested album by youtube:  

                                    

                                        Department of Eagles - The Cold Nose
I'm still listening to it. I feel like it is a perfect album to unwind to after a lazy day. (lolz)
I could say I like it. *thumbs up*

31 Days of Music Discovery| Day 4

June, Day 4
Artist: James Blake
James Blake is quiet different from the previous artists. He has a quiet sound mainly characterised with electronic beats. Listening to his songs from his album "Overgrown" took me to a rainy street in London (perhaps) where i wore a grey hoodie shaking my head to the beats and trying to robot dance for some songs and other songs which had me imagining myself in the "All of Me" music video (weird, I know) I noticed that at least three songs on this album had this background sound that sounded like the loud horn of a truck. I don't think I've ever heard such a thing in any other song.
Overall a catchy, calm and not so mainstream sounding music.

Album:

The second album i listened to was "James Blake". This album for me was way too electronic and i enjoyed only parts of the songs. 

Album:

I'd say James Blake would make nice background music as you craft or something.
