Random Album of the Day

Today’s Random Album is The Truman Sho from Flashlight O. Flashlight O is Colin Alexander – an artist From Baltimore. And this album is basically indie folk meets slacker rock with some experimental-ness.

I had no idea I had this album. I must have found it in one of my scans of Bandcamp. But I really like it. The buried vocals are aesthetically perfect – though some songs would stand out more if the vocals did, We’ve got catchy little indie folk tunes with a random slacker rock song here and there. Instrumentally I really like how things are mixed. The percussions is great.

Overall I really enjoyed this. A nice little find that I already found at some point but then proceeded to forget about. I like that there is basically endless good music out there in the world. Keep it coming world…

Random Album of the Day

Today’s Random Album of the Day is Crocus from The Ophelias. The Ophelias are definitely indie music – some indie folk, some indie pop, and some indie rock. Rate Your Music includes Chamber Pop which seems apt I suppose. They formed in 2015 and Crocus (2021) is their third full length album. They also have a newer album released last year so they remain active.

The violin really helps give their sound this consistent ambiance. So much so that the songs can blend together sometimes. This can be good or bad I suppose. But I think it all works overall. The Ophelias have a very pretty sound. They are sometimes catchy, sometimes solemn, and sometimes passionate. It all works for me on a certain level but also sometimes feels like background music. I guess I want it to be bolder somehow. But it is quite good.
