Default The Random Album Thread

EDIT: I'll put suggested random album pickers here:

I hope this hasn't been done quite like this before.

It's a simple idea. Pick a random album through some means of your own choosing. Listen to all or part of it. Then write a bit about it. Not necessarily a review. A short reaction is fine.

I simply went to Spotify and typed a few random letters into the search bar. My fingers hit "osf", so this came up and I listened to it:

the moon and the nightspirit - osforras

As the cover maybe kinda gives away, it turns out to be some sort of dark, acoustic folk music with some women singing in a manner that reminds me of some greek vocal folk I once heard. The music feels quite Middle Eastern tinged, or perhaps like something from the Balkans. I could of course Google it and solve the mystery, but for now, I'm fine with being pretty confused about where in the world this is from. Although, maybe the music and the spelling of the band's name makes me guess Turkey or some other country close to it. That would be my shotgun-to-the-head guess right now.

The music is generally fairly energetic. Sometimes going for a bit more somber feel. I am reminded of Warzaw Village Band during some moments.

Yeah... pretty cool so far actually. I'm saving it to my Spotify library for now so I can check it out again.
