One of my favourite recent bands, I first heard them on a collaboration with Garbage for record store day several years ago:

I have a longer post about Worriers in the drafts but this seemed apropos for no particular reason.

Night Brain is a music project from an old internet friend (from back in the early middle tumblr era (and then the good old days of twitter)). They put out an EP several years back which I think is great, kind of indie house? (but get it from bandcamp if it appeals!)

If this was merely a ukulele cover, I would certainly have discarded it as millennial cringe by now. In my opinion the additional instrumentation and the dreamlike video elevate it enough to still be worth holding on to.

Dilly Dally were a queer Torontonian rock/punk/grunge band. Their first LP Sore, linked above, is well worth listening to in full. The second is too, but it’s marginally less imprinted in my memories for whatever reason.

Damage I’ve Done

My understanding is this album came out while David Byrne had left Talking Heads and the rest of the band made a bunch of music with other singers, but that’s about the limits of what I know about it. This track is the clear standout for me.

Chumped

The self-titled EP this track is from is damn near perfect, the closing song Dear Emily Dickinson in particular. Eleanor was my introduction to Chumped, although I can’t remember the source.
