Century of Ecstasy Redo Black Hole

April 28, 2025 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

You might have heard a bit of “Black Hole” if you checked out the 2020 EP, The Depth, from Swedish project Century of Ecstasy, but if you didn’t, you’re in luck as Joakim Persson has opted to go back and put some proper finishing touches on the tune. Ultimately, the tune has turned into this mellowed bit of psychedelic pop music, sort of wiggling its way in and out of your consciousness. It all rides on this meandering guitar line, carefully snaking its way in and out the empty space in the tune, letting Persson’s vocals sort of crest and ride on the top of the mix. It’s a nice little slice of sweetness to carry you on your way today.

Marissa Paternoster Shares Final Single from Peace Meter

November 29, 2021 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

This Friday Don Giovanni will be dropping Marissa Paternoster‘s proper debut as a solo artist, and we’ve been covering the singles all along the way. I’m excited by the album because I feel like we’re really getting some insight into Paternoster’s life, and while its been there before, it feels much more intimate and relatable in the presentation of this record. Musically, this song seems full, yet stripped down. The mix feels peeled back like the layers of an onion, leaving us with the core that is Marissa’s unique voice driving the emotional pull of the track. Peace Meter drops Friday, so be sure to check it out, grab it, you know, support your favorite artists.

The Spookfish Announces Debut Album

February 9, 2017 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Dan Goldberg began The Spookfish in 2007, journeying about the world recording his dreams and experiences, but he’s just announced his debut album…from the studio at least. It still has that glorious intimacy to it, opening with a slight field recording before the buzz of the studio creeps into your speakers. The rest is pulled back to allow Goldberg’s voice to seep in atop the strummed guitar; I do think I heard a door shut in the distance, but other than that, it’s a pretty straightforward gem once you get settled. Fire Talk will be releasing Black Hole on April 21st.
