A gallery of some cool music I found. Here you'll also find previous Music of the Moment from the main page. The navbar is for Spotify playlists I've put together.










Music of the Moment Aug 27, 2023 through Sept 9, 2023

Song: Big Wave
Artist: igloo
Album: The Way to Keep Myself

Youtube
Spotify

I had the amazing opportunity to hear this song played live at Club BBang in Seoul.

This track was probably my favorite of the night. I don't speak Korean, so I can't really comment on the lyrics, but I like the song a lot. The combination of the keyboard and the electric guitar is really nice, as is the singer's voice and the percussion.

Hearing live underground indie rock like this was a real treat.

Song: Allahu Akbar
Artist: Emperor X
Album: Western Teleport

Spotify
Youtube

Emperor X has become one of my favorite artists over the course of the past few years, and this is one of his best songs in my opinion. Allahu Akbar discusses the conditions that have turned "Allahu akbar," a phrase simply meaning "God is great," from a thankful prayer to a phrase associated with terror. The song sounds great of course, but I especially enjoy the imagery of the lyrics "encased in calcium carbonate" and "put the Tigris in a trench now." The song itself is a straight up banger.
