INDIE with EDGE straight out of Belgium

INDIE with EDGE straight out of Belgium - PEUK (2019)

Hey there. I've started this webspot to document my record collection in vynil, cassette and cd format. I'll be posting along as I find some new sonic goodies. I'm not a music critic, I just dig music a lot, so I hope you enjoy. Peace.

****

There are a few adjectives I could stick to my recent purchases from Belgium bands, such as intriguing, captivating, or playful but I'll just state that they sound great and are highly recommended for those who enjoy their indie rock with a lot of edge.

PEUK (2019) format: CD (Digipack)

I was entraced with this cover while perusing spotify, it resonated deeply with me, since I'm a fan of the 50's film Creature from the black lagoon, that said, the music within did not disappoint whatsoever.

PEUK is a trio that hails from Belgium and play a fierce indie rock that takes notes from 90's angsty indie rock while remanining charismatically playful! Highlights for me are DRUNK'N'CARAVAN, GAVE PERSON,and GARGAMEL.

The name of the band means the butt of a cigarette and although its origins shall remain a secret, it's known the band likes short names.

Listen to them, you will be pleasantly thrilled.

Aesop Rock - Labor days

Beautiful and abstract poetry from MC Aesop Rock in an assorted collection of complex and melodic beats. Stories are told and magnified by the spotless MC'S style of delivery, especially in themes like "No Regrets", a story about Lucy, an artist that embodies the spirit of individuality of doing what you really want and love and the anthem 9-5 er's about work and aspirations. It shapes and expands the border of hip-hop, an essential work of astract and conscious hip-hop.

Tiago Guillul - V

Indie pop by Tiago Guillul. Recorded in a studio and with guests like Rui Reininho, Tiago Guillul moves from his lo-fi days to a well produced and clean cut album. "A Febre em 1993" is a really adorable and catchy song that is one of the highlights of this album, using dancing and funky samples with some playful arrangements. "Nabucodonosor" named after one of the kings in the bible, is a really jangley song with collaborations from Rui Reininho in the vocals. Released by Florcaveira, this album has some religious inspired lyrics and most songs were built upon evangelical songs from all over the world, but that isn't exactly a surprise since it's Tiago Guillul. Overall, a candy bomb of an album of enjoyable and clever indie pop.

Roberta Kelly - Trouble maker

Very groovy and danceable hit Trouble-Maker by singer Roberta Kelly. The track was written and produced by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Belotte. It reached and gained enormous popularity when it was released in 1976. The second song is The Family, a more mellow disco sound with some catchy and funky bass lines and harmonious backup instrumentals. Roberta Kelly also did backup vocals for Thelma Houston and Donna Summer.
