Wands of the Minor Arcana, Dirtmouth, Witch Victim, and Bestfriend
Wands of the Minor Arcana - Into the Gloaming Isle
For the first time, I have a deeper understanding of ambient music and its artistry. It can go breach much further than relaxing, soothing music! Into the Gloaming Isle is from the creative mind of Harman Burns. How did this album lead to my revelation? Listen and read the incredible narrative for the EP on their Bandcamp page and you will get it! Creativity at its peak.
Dirtmouth - The Closer
Nova Scotia’s Dirtmouth are back with their sophomore EP, Dirtmouth II, releasing July 7! They released “The Closer” ahead of the EP and I gotta say it is truly a teaser! Dirtmouth encapsulates the sounds Halifax produced in the 90’s, and I love it! If you are in Halifax July 8, hit up Bearly’s House of Blues, Dirtmouth gonna tear it up!
Witch Victim - Teeth Protection
It’s been a long week, you need to unwind. You slide into the hottub with Patron on the rocks, and relaxation waves over you, but something is missing? You remember, Branton reported that Witch Victim released Teeth Protection, and he said it is the final stop required before hitting Chillville. And now, you have arrived!
Bestfriend - places i’ve left
With its rich lyrics that encourage your soul to recall your younger years, your historical times, and how you came to be who you are, places i’ve left is a pleasing time machine. The album’s concept is relatable to not only one generation, but rather to any generation and that is what stands out the most to me.
