Just wanted to share my latest trailer with you all! The game has been pushed back, but I've been steady at work. ETA 2021.

Thanks always for your feedback!

That's awesome!  There's a great feel to it, a kind of nostalgia for brief windows of self-discovery in life.  A wonderful mood.  I'm very much looking forward to this one.

I think this is it. I can access this one:

That's the correct song and artist, but that's an awful recording.  So much crowd noise, you can barely hear the song.  Maybe you can check it on Spotify.  Too bad there aren't more YouTube links available for it.  It's a great album, I'd recommend tracking it down and listening to the whole thing.  Like Elliott Smith with a drum machine.  Both guys were in The Impossibles and The Stereo before this:

The Impossibles - Eightball


The barbershop intro of Cuphead reminds me of Moxy Früvous (as all well harmonized vocals seem to do):

Moxy Früvous - King of Spain


Not the best song on the album (my favorite might be Laika), and not the best example of their vocal harmonies (which might be Fell in Love), but it's a great example of their quirkiness.  Bargainville is a fantastic album.  Anyone else love this band?

The rest of Cuphead is very big band / swingy.  Fitting for the visual style of the game.  Not really my thing, so admittedly I only skimmed through it, but it's definitely well written and performed.

Current jam:

Girlpool - Like I'm Winning It

"Crown Imperial Song" is pretty well known in Norway, but maybe not elsewhere? (YouTube also has a music video of it, but with poorer sound quality.)
Not bad.  It has a kind of late 60's early 70's hippie flower child vibe in my mind.  Something like "Turn! Turn! Turn!" by The Byrds, "Somebody to Love" by Jefferson Airplane, or "California Dreamin'" by The Mamas & the Papas, but definitely a bit more modern.  Fits with the 90's, there was a lot of music in that era that hearkened back to the 60's and 70's.

When Ennio Morricone goes rock.
Great track.

Dact, I'm getting an 'unavailable' message when I try to play your track. Weird - maybe it has been removed?
Maybe it's region locked or something.  Try this one:

Nice tracks, guys~

Had this on in the background yesterday (cheers, @Kyriakos). Mainly reverb-y guitar. It's a game score, so it can be a bit repetitive, but some tracks remind me of Twin Peaks type music:

That's a nice groove.

I'm listening to Slowreader's album.  It's really good stuff.

Slowreader - Sweetest Suffering

Nice! I've been working on my Super Sad Piano Piece all afternoon, and this has been a great palate cleanser. I'm with Cat Power now:
Love it.  Here's a Cat Power song I heard recently that I enjoyed:

Cat Power - He War


Dave Grohl plays the drums on that one, but it's not a stand-out drum track.  I love the guitar in this.

Here's what I'm listening to now:

Elliott - Intro


Now this song has some fantastic drumming.

Thanks for those, Laura!
Indeed.  I've listened to Elephants quite a few times already.  Probably my favorite of their tracks.

Now:

YouTube shuffle just now introduced me to this track:
I heard this one a couple of months ago (actually 2 different tracks) and quite liked it.  Didn't really look much further into the band at the time, though.

Quote from: Laura Hunt on Thu 25/06/2020 11:06:11
Aw I love Warpaint! But not this track, lol. I liked their first couple of albums a lot better, when they were more guitar/bass/drums-centered and they hadn't introduced so many electronic elements in their music:

A couple of friends have told me I look like Theresa (the guitar player) in that last video. Must be the fringe and the black circles under my eyes from not sleeping, because I can't see the resemblance otherwise, hahah.
These tracks are great, and made me look into the band a bit more.  Listened to a few good tracks already.  Thanks for posting!

While listening, I found that they did a really nice cover of a great Duran Duran song.  I'm now listening to another fantastic cover of the same song by a different band:

Deftones - The Chauffeur
