Totally digging on the Eastern European (WTF, auto predict, you’d rather suggest Eurovision before European? Fuck you. Just fuck you.) folk vibe of Ben Caplan.

Dayum, someone needs to put those in a more deserving room.

Wood paneling...ceiling tiles...yeezh.

If you go back to their earliest albums, they appear to have started life as a power pop outfit. I’m enjoying all four of their releases.

Yeah, that was kinda a rhetorical question.

Ulysses, On Safari yet another SMOD find, but this is hippie dippy psychedelic instead. Listen to this song from their previous album: https://ulyssesgb.bandcamp.com/track/song-that-has-to-be-sung (...and then listen to the entirety of On Safari ) Previous was also retro psych rock, too, with a serious Jeff Lynne fetish, and I dig. https://aurablaze.bandcamp.com/

So is it the best album of 2014 or of 2019?

They suck. They probably have the indexes and constraints turned on while inserting and committing one row at a time.

Well...it’s Russian. So there’s always that risk. Those women are just a front. The big scary thug, though...

Dig this, daddy-o

I couldn’t figure out the last word (my Russian vocabulary is atrocious), so I used Google Translate (it translated in image ! I think it even used the same font), but it says, “Bank, to which you are tied.”

They need to have a Sean Bean...oh, they do. Outstanding. https://www.etsy.com/search?q=sean bean prayer candle

Apparently they actually exist.
