My personal music drought is with reason. The reason itself was pretty hard to pinpoint, but as the time presses on and empty tunes blare through my outdated speakers, it's becoming more clear.
The golden era of my personal music taste has died. Punk has died. Alternative has died. Shoegaze has died. Ambience/rock/whatever/else/I'm/missing has died. Even, weirdly sad to say, emo has died (yuck, actually. maybe it should stay that way). Not to say that any up and coming folks under these music genre "labels" aren't any good, but the prime of the genres' time as a whole has passed.
Thus, the lyrical and compositional genius that lifts my soul is gone: it's merely a thing of the past.
So here's my ode to the early 2000s with Ocean Blue. (there shall be more to come)
Oddly enough, for a video produced in 2005, they have a wonderful The Smiths influence. Also, look at those Nick Carter/Leonardo DiCaprio 90s bowl cuts... And what lens filter is this? 1995 filter?
More impressive, their 2013 album holds the integrity of their reminiscent sound. And it's becoming a new favorite of mine. Listen from start to finish. You won't regret it.
Tunes for your scenic road trips and ambience. You're welcome.
