WELCOME to New Music Tuesdays!

 I will be starting off my music writing again by returning to album reviews.  I have always liked listening to new music and sharing my opinion, since the Rasputin Manifesto days, I hope I have grown as a writer and since then.  Back in the days when I used to work at the record store, new music used to come out on Tuesdays.  These days, and for a while now it has been Fridays, which gives me a couple days to give you a review of the album from this past week (if any) was worthy of reviewing.  I will be sticking to genres and artists that I like with an open mind for new and exciting artists and albums that are making an impact.

I tend to like pop and post punk music, with a penchant towards the more dark and electronic influences: industrial, experimental, future-pop, dark wave/cold wave, new wave reprints, etc.  I am hearing a lot of good music these days and through my Spotify account I can check out bands and really get into their new material when it is released.

"Explore" is a groovy song with a consistent funky beat and a very sexy vibe with tinges of psychedelia.    "Can't Hide It" has an intro drum tempo that reminds me of Curtis Mayfield's Superfly, and the chorus is an interpolation of "Can't Help Mysel...
