'The Tinman' by World News

 

From the EP by the same name, released on March 30, 2023 (note the year!).

So I take back some comments about Spotify's (very) below average recommendation algorithm, otherwise know as your "Discover Weekly".

Although I must say, the second song on this EP 'Wrapped in Gold', I do remember hearing at some stage.

Back to The Tinman: these guys have some impressive harmonious rhythm guitar work, that just gets better into this song.

'Face in the Mirror' by James and the Cold Gun

 

 

  From the album of the same name, released 25 April 2025

'Lovesick Lullaby' by YUNGBLOD

 

 

  A single released 25 April 2025

'Tyrants' by Sam Fender

 

 

  Released as a single 25 April 2025

'Barefoot' by Jiggyvango

 

 

Released as a single on 10 March 2025.

I give up.

Since late March I have not found any song remotely interesting. And I tried, really searched - lots of crap.

My rule has always been: no interesting new song release=no post.

As it happens, once in a while I listen to Spotify's recommendations, their "Discover Weekly" play list, which is based on what you have listened to, and what the Spotify algorithm thinks you may like.

Six songs into a 30 song list, and this pops up.

Too nostalgically cool to not hit repeat, and a slide guitar sometimes is the best, it really is. 

'Buffalo Blades' by Mating Ritual

 

 

One of the songs from a pre-released EP (on 28 March) of selection of songs from the upcoming album "Shangri-blah", that will be released on 13 June 2025.

Yes, this is the way: selected releases of new albums, either as singles, or EP's from yet to be released full abums.

I understand why this is, as it draws fans into a new album.

Only for someone like myself, who analysis's new releases each week, it can get confusing, especially when the full album is finally released.

Wait: haven't I heard that one before?

Back to the song....

A dreamy, slow number with a great slide guitar solo - take your time and listen more than once.
