I have never heard of or seen those albums or artists before ever in my life. But I love the album covers. And I am a sucker for a nice album cover.
Nice thread btw
Thanks!
The Bats, The Chills, and The Clean are all Indie pop bands from New Zealand that had their heyday from the late 80s to the early 90s. Still making music, though. And it's still quite good music, at that.
Tinariwen is a group of North African nomads (Tuaregs), who use electric guitars and hand percussion to make a wonderful music that is reminiscent of both blues and Arab music. A definite groove. Beautiful stuff.
The Wonder Stuff is a British band from the height of the Britpop movement of the 1990s. Didn't do much in the US, although they do have a cult following over here. And, in the UK, I think they had a bit more success, but still weren't among the top tier, as far as chart success. Still every bit as good as any other band from the era.
Listening to this now:
An American singer/songwriter. Kinda downtrodden acoustic guitar-based pop with heavy folk influences.
