Some of y'all may remember MTV's Alternative Nation or 120 Minutes, awesome programs & incredible ways to discover #music back in the 80s & 90s...

Welcome, to the Fediverse edition!

My SO got me into this band in the 80s. We followed them ever since Swoon, this first record. S-Tier pop music, as the younger folk say.

Looking so long at these pictures of you But I never hold on to your heart Looking so long for the words to be true And always just breaking apart

Bonus live version, from this year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlFGyxsKUCQ

Robert Smith still sounds exactly the same as in the 80s.

[Fresh Album] Eartheater - Powders (songwhip.com)
submitted 1 year ago by kvn2@midwest.social to c/alternativenation@lemmy.world

Honestly I haven't been a fan of Eartheater's brand of experimental pop in the past. However with Powders she has taken a more subdued approach to create what is essentially a trip hop album. It has a really interesting and unexpected cover of Chop Suey halfway through the album too. And if you like this it is apparently a sister album to her upcoming 2024 album Aftermath. I'll be looking forward to that.
