Let me just start by saying I hate furniture shopping. I did not think I would. I thought I would love it. But I spent my weekend doing it, and now I hate it. I mainly hate it because I move in Wednesday, have only been in my apartment once during the viewing, have no dimensions for the apartment, people in Australia are lazy and only work Monday - Friday 9 - 5, even in shops and restaurants, and I have all the big bosses coming in from Germany this week for a board meeting so this is literally the worst week I could have to sit at an empty apartment for a day waiting for shit to arrive. And also, it takes forever to deliver this shit! You have to order months in advance! What the fuck! I hate this. I'm so glad the worst of it is over. At least the shopping part. Not the moving yet. And the way the week is going, it's just going to get worse. Whatever. I don't need to complain. I just need to listen to good music. Let's do that instead.
So I usually have a theme that runs through the music when I post multiple artists. It might have to do with the place I am or the style of music or just some random weird shit that makes sense in my head and my head only. But one thing I do quite often is post single songs from artists who I think only have one good song, and the rest of their music is just meh. But that one good song is really damn good, always. And that's today's theme. Sounds great here, but no need to look any further. And then what usually also happens with these songs is that I get excited about them but not excited enough to share the artist or share it too quickly so I put it off until I have like 3 random songs to share in a single blog post. And that's how we got to where we are today.
The first song is the one I've been putting off the longest, and it is from Rick Leigh. I know nothing about him because I really liked this song but when I went to listen to more I wasn't impressed so I didn't look any further. But this song Everything is beautiful. Like really, really beautiful. Somewhere between Radiohead and Patrick Watson. Now, it is his first single, and he only has one EP out, so maybe there can be more wonderful stuff like this, but for now, just listen to this song. Probably on repeat. Cause it's so damn good.
So we started out chill, and we'll pick it up a little bit, but still keep it pretty chill with the next song. The next song being Escape, by Ouri. Now, Escape is the first single for the year from Ouri, but there are also some other EPs and even an album last year. But the album is not good. And listening to the album, you would think Ouri is a producer, not a singer. But then from the images I see, it makes me think there are two Ouris? One who put out a meh album in 2017, and one who put out a great single in 2018? I have no idea.
OK. I wanted to know so I just googled it. She is a producer, but now Escape is the first single off her upcoming EP We share our blood, and it's the first time she's actually song on a track. So maybe that's what makes the difference? Anyway, her last album isn't bad, just a bit boring. But this is good. Super chill, a bit 90s, sultry and sexy. Very nice.
Now we switch directions entirely (musically, anyway) and introduce you to Pizzagirl. What a name for a band! And the song is Coffee Shop. I love coffee! And I LOVE the na na nas all through this song. So fun. So good. So much na na na. And while the last song was super 90s, now we're back into the 80s here. So basically your typical indie pop-rock. Makes me think of Nation of Language, who I introduced you to earlier this year. Anyway, there is no pizza or girls in this song. Just coffee and fun times. And it's also by far the best song on their only EP. The rest of the EP is, once again, meh. But this! So much yes! Na na na na na na na!
