Deadend Shrednecks

Sigur Ros is an Icelandic postrock band started in 1994.  They’re considered one of the founding bands of this genre of music and are predominately known for Jonsi’s falsetto vocals, use of a bow on guitars, and using a non-sensical language for their lyrics.  https://sigurros.bandcamp.com/ Dad introduced them to me when I was 8 years old- we listened to ( ) —their “brackets” album 2002.  I remember sneaking computer time on the family Dell to watch their music videos on YouTube (like olsen olsen, svefn-g-englar, glosoli, and saeglopur).  My favorite albums of theirs are in this order- (), Takk, AB, kveikur (the concert we attended), valtari, ba-ba-tiki-dido, hvarf, med sud. 

Meshuggah is a Swedish extreme/groove/ metal band that goes back as far as the late 80s. Their name actually is Yiddish for the word crazy.  Koloss, nothing, Obzen, and violent sleep of reason are my consistently-favorite albums of theirs. 

​Windhand is a doom/ stoner metal band from Richmond, VA. 

What’s been goin on the past few weeks? We got a couple more songs by The Sword down pact with vocals and we feel pretty good about them.  I’m working on memorizing the last few minutes of Gnaw. David still trying to teach me how to do successful bends because if they’re even a tad bit flat, he loses his mind a bit lol. “YOU HAVE TO BEND IT MORE LIZZIE!”
