Echoes & Distortions: A Modern Grunge & New Wave Fusion
It’s been a day of research, long notes, and finding patterns in the noise. My brain’s been in the past—patient stories, public health timelines, tracing behaviors and data. So when I finally hit play, I want the opposite. No more rehashing the golden oldies. I want now. I want what’s next.
So I made a rule: only music from 2020 forward.
No more leaning on nostalgia to feel something; well mostly but with some exceptions for sure! I want the sound of people making art in the same world I’m working and living in. Gritty, strange, new, alive and hopefully like me.
Right now, it’s a lot of synths and distortion. Gloomy post-punk, dreamlike grunge, and the kind of vocals that sound like they’ve seen some things. If it’s raw, moody, and weird in a beautiful way—it’s on the list.
Because I’m not trying to relive anything. I’m just trying to live.
