Let’s go from one unsigned band to another. Musika 77 have a new record coming out soon called Death & The Magpie. It still needs a home. I’ve written about the band here. This is what I said about them back then: “that’s a cross between Antony, Robert Smith and Morrissey” and “music for the theater; it’s lush, thematic”. These songs are similar except that they are a little more bare, the sound is atmospheric and ethereal at times. The instrumentation leaves lots of space for the vocals.
The song “The Mountain” with the painfully honest line of “the smell of his cum on her skin finally gave her away” is linked to below. I like how it’s sung in both English and Swedish.
