This Toilet Tuesday (2/15/22)
Despite everything, it’s Toilet Tuesday. New music abounds, and it continues to be refreshing to see good music coming out regularly this early in the year. There are a few golden nuggets in the heap this week, so check out that list below and tell us what you’re looking forward to jamming.
The Last of Lucy – Moksha (Transcending Obscurity) [Tech Death]
Listen
The Last of Lucy sounded a fair bit weirder in the past by my estimation, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t digging this more straightforward direction. The jazz stuff appears to be gone entirely, but the riffs are meaner than ever, and the more focused approach makes this a smoother listen compared to its predecessors. I haven’t had a chance to sit with this in full yet, but rest assured you’ll be hearing more about this one soon. 2/18/22 (Spear)
