Off-Topic: Music Recommendation Thread - eviltoast

So, here I am, listening to the Cosmos soundtrack and strangely not stoned. And I realize that it’s been a while since we’ve had a random music recommendation thread. What’s the musical haps in your worlds, friends?

    My hyper fixation for the last 4 years has been the band Lawrence. Eight-piece Soul Funk group with a brass section and two lead vocalists.

    The musicianship is incredible. Saw them live last month and you could tell there was no click track as the band members improvised off each other and the crowd. They were having a genuinely good time on stage messing around and the energy was infectious. Genuinely the most fun I’ve had in years.

    Also co-vocalist Gracie’s voice! I’ve heard their albums so many times and there’s still moments I find myself muttering blasphemy as she fucking belts it out.

    As I get older my music tastes have definitely broadened from my relatively narrow range of Seattle Grunge and metal. Still with this band, my partner doesn’t quite know what’s happened to me.

    Anyway, I recommend this live recording of Hip Replacement from last month.
