TRC Music

Is it a feeling? Is it serotonin? It's both. A mental cascade of weightlessness brought forth from atmospheric sounds.  Today's post is a bit random from the stream of things posted previously, but I feel that it's a nice touch on a nice realm of music; or at least a piece of it. Let's get into some songs and albums that will you give you the sense of weightlessness and peace. Explosions In The Sky- The Wilderness I don't want to drown this article with post-rock, but Explosions In The Sky is superb in providing that introspective tranquility. Some songs like Logic of a Dream are enchanting but more jarring. Not good for a sense of floating but still atmospheric and sense tingling. Losing the Light and Landing Cliffs are 2 of my favorites when I want to feel weightless and just float with the progression of the song. ERRA- Drift ERRA is a progressive metalcore band with a lot of craziness going on. The song Drift off the album of the s...

Eyyo folk, round and round we go. This year's been wacky as hell and music has been a nice vessle to some sense of normalcy amidst everything. There's a lot of different tastes in this month's round up but I'll be going over just a few of em. Let's go! Shreddy Krueger- Heathen One of the reasons I love post hardcore so much is when bands have a powerful and moving clean vocalist that can carry melodies amongst the musical chaos. Shreddy Krueger has been big on my playlists lately and Heathen is a prime example of why I enjoy them so much. In Ruin is my most listened but I think Heathen is my favorite vocally. I get some nice Periphery vibes. The Fall Of Troy- Chain Wallet, Nike Shoes I'll be honest, I'm not a big listener of The Fall of Troy. I certainly appreciate their older work and F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X gained mass appeal so they're definitely something special. I randomly flipped through their newest release and stumbled upon this ...

Sweet, something unique to post! One part of this post will be a recurring but more spread apart thread of posts. Along with playlists I'll do 20-25 album "grab bins" where each image will be based on a specific topic or genre.  The inaugural grab bin post is a collection of albums that I especially enjoy. Some are newer and some I've listened to for years. The genre differentiation is a bit more prevalent in my opinion. I highly recommend checking all of these out!  I must say though, I eyeballed these album covers together on my phone and it looks kind of meh. Apologies for that one. Below I'll be linking each album left to right, top to bottom. But first, on to the next part of this post! I recently visited a record store again since the pandemic started back in March. I love to collect CDs here and there, and I recently picked up a few. Below is a link to my Discog Collection where you can view the physical media...

Hey y'all! It's that time once again. Another month down and it's time to post my monthly playlist for July. This month has been chaotic as well as a starting point for other playlists such as my last post on EDM. Anywho lets dive in now! Properties of Nature- Sorry Excuse I know it's quite surprising to have another Swancore artist at the top of my roundup, but Properties of Nature are smooth and I've been stuck singing along to Sorry Excuse as well as Giraffulo . Their sound and vibes they give off could be heavily associated with A Lot Like Birds although ALLB are more technical instrumentally.  Happy Hour- Sorry, I Only Drink Guinness Oh yeah, another one. While Happy Hour would also be considered Swancore, they sound much more similar to DGD than Properties of Nature. On a side note I absolutely love that quick drum intro. If you're a fan of Jon Mess the song Dreamcast Trash will give you some sweet vibes as w...

 As stated in my previous post, I mentioned building some playlists aside from my monthly roundups. Today it'll be the sweet genre of EDM as a whole. Most of these genre playlists will be more long term projects but building a nice playlist of some of my favorites over the years has been quite easy. These playlists will be added to moving forward but the meat & bones will be there at the time of posting.  EDM Super Playlist credit: panthernow.com As someone who not only loves music, I love the effects of sound in general. EDM is the most diverse in terms of variance in sound and frequencies blended perfectly together. My introduction to the genre in depth was probably in 2011. Shortly thereafter I stumbled upon Savant in some forums and he definitely shaped my affinity for the craft. Savant essentially does everything and does it so well that when I got the chance to see him in 2014, he mixed like 40 of his songs into a 15 minute hype fest and was the bes...

Hello hello, internet folks! A bit of an off kind of post, but still on topic for this blog. I've conjured a few ideas for future posts, but these will be more long term "projects" if that's the correct word. Essentially, I'd like to really work more on playlist building. One such playlist will be the 2020 playlist which I plan to release at the end of the year, highlighting songs from each of my monthly playlists. A playlist made of playlists; playception! Included with that will be the entirety of each playlist generated this year. That one's around 150 songs at this point, which doesn't sound like a lot; and it isn't really. If I were to include every song from every album it'd just be a mess, but there will certainly be some goodies added in there as well. Another idea of mine (props if you've made it through this wall of text and are still reading) will be genre specific playlists. It'll take time to build these consi...

Oh wait it's July. This year itself has been going mad fast amidst this pandemic. The weeks come and go and time seems altered. I'm almost more uncomfortable with how time has felt this year than the reason why. Regardless June is done so it's time to wrap up what I've been jamming this month. Kaonashi- I Found No Peace Philly based Kaonashi is a banger! If you like hardcore with a unique voice like Knocked Loose you'll enjoy them for sure. I have to say though, they really bring some interesting stuff in Coffee & Conversation . That intro is reminiscent of melodic bits in ERRA's music. I love 'em both for sure. Abandoned By Bears- Void Filler Abandoned By Bears is a nice summery band to jam to. Heavy hitting melodic pop-punk that always just seems to fit with warm weather. This Day Forward- Writing In Cursive This Day Forward was a post hardcore band from the early 2000's that brings pure energy to th...
