New Music Recommendations

No sweety, we have Deafheaven at home. Denmark’s “blackgaze” band, MØL, might just sound like a direct rip of Deafheaven…but that’s okay. We love that here. Give us more. Inject it into my veins. Listen to DREAMCRUSH now if you know what’s good for you. FFO: Deafheaven, Gaerea, Agriculture, Blood Incantation.
