I need to check that out again. I feel like they haven't progressed past Furrier tbh. That's an insanely high watermark though.

I compare albums all the time so this may be a touch hypocritical but as a listener I think it’s best to take Furfour as a separate entity. Normally, or at least when I was younger, I would be very unforgiving when a band would choose a more mainstream direction. But in this case I feel the opposite way. A band that’s capable of creating a pop record that’s THIS good has a moral responsibility to put it out there.

Love Means Taking Action
Album by Croatian Amor

https://croatianamor-alter.bandcamp....-taking-action

https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums...taking-action/

Danish musician Loke Rahbek does a wonderful job of bridging the gap between ambient and avant pop. Big time recommended.

Retrogore
Studio album by Aborted

Solid death metal release. Love the band name. Colors within the lines. From Belgium.

Aborted strike me as a band talented enough create music that isn't 100% bound by their sub-genre but not talented enough to be anything special. Or at least not talented enough to have crossover appeal to non-sub-genre fans.

No shame in coloring in the lines. I like the clear tones on guitar solos.

I guess Strychnine.213 would be the best example of what I'm talking about. They tried throwing in Pantera influences while still staying death metal and while it worked often enough they were clearly trying for crossover appeal and stumbling a bit. But when it did work it was nice and a bit unique even.
