First Listen: New Releases for 12 January 2024

Artist: Lily Seabird
Album: Alas,
Quick Thoughts: I don't recall tripping up on Lily Seabird's debut album when it dropped in 2021, but this follow-up is making her back catalog a top priority. Pulling from a variety of influences ranging from folk to indie pop to more traditional roots and alt-rock, we end up with an album that really doesn't miss. The record builds itself one on top of the other, with the weight of it all culminating in the truly epic "Waste" that leads into bringing the whole thing home. It's a really great listen, and one that I loved.
Songs of Note: "Grace," "Twenty," "Dirge," "Waste"

Artist: Marika Hackman
Album: Big Sigh
Quick Thoughts: Marika Hackman is quietly becoming a must-listen figure in indie singer-songwriting. She's not doing anything all that flashy, she's not blowing your socks off with the presentation. She's just making music that sticks with you (and that's not an intentional reference to "Slime," which is probably the best melody she's written yet). I want more people to know her, but I also want to keep her to myself, if that makes sense. Either way, her previous album was one of my favorites of the year, and this one is setting the 2024 bar high.
Songs of Note: "Slime," "No Caffeine," "Big Sigh"

Artist: Hoorsees
Album: Big
Quick Thoughts: I admit to taking a flier on this one because I can't pronounce their name even when I try. That's a me problem, but this is some really great alt-indie music with a lot of catchy tunes that kept surprising me. "Ikea Boy" in particular is one of my favorite songs of the week, but the whole thing is worth your time and would be in a busy week. Give this a listen.
Songs of Note: "Movie's Architecture," "Ikea Boy," "Second Class," "Charming City Life," "New Career"

  2. 'There's got to be a great line drawn between these crypto scammers and the havoc they are wrecking on their victims. How would have I survived this tragedy of losing almost Six hundred and fifty-eight thousand Pounds to an impostor posing as a Blockchain trade agent? I just can't stop emphasizing the good deeds of CY-BER GENIE HACK PRO. I don't want to be like the 10 blind men from the bible who Jesus delivered them but only one came to appreciate his gestures to them. I am posting this review for myself, I am contributing my quota of making the internet the safe place it used to be by referring scammed victims to (CY BERGENIEHACKPRO) on Telegram for assistance in tracing, and high chances of recovering their stolen money. I wish those who had been rescued from fraudsters by Cyber Genie Hack Pro's team could post their success stories like mine, doing so, they will reach a larger audience thereby creating more awareness that you can recover your stolen money from scammers. My dealings with Cyber Genie were great, I first had my reservations because I had already lost hundreds of thousands worth of crypto coins, but I was thrilled by their engagement to my task of recovering my stolen money. Never give up if you have been scammed, CYB-ER-GE-NIEH-ACK PRO is all you need. You can find them on their WhatsApp also: (+)(1252-512-0391) Mail them on; (cybergenie(@)cyberservices(.)com)'
