What Are You Listening To?

Im bringing the music thread over to these forums
Post some tracks you're listening to, post some album charts, talk about what you like, etc, etc, you know the drill!
Some things I have been listening to:
Orange (live) — Adrianne Lenker: I listened to this live album a few times but this time this track really stuck out, very beautiful and fills me with a kind of energy I want to ride out until I get bored
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tg5Y2F9ebYYSET ESTRAGADO 1.0 — d.silvestre, DJ VITTIN MG, DJ MR 011, DJ FERRARI DO TS, Dj Raffide:
Something very different but this track is crazy to me I didn't know Brazilian Phonk could have niche ambient experimental aura like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9AGVxcVitYPeckham — username: Nice and serene chill vibe footwork https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLbZGbHeD1g
Good Magicians — Sidney Gish: Nice and catchy jovial vibes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD3ZOFjdwxE
Bomb S** — DJ Blackpower: My goat so goated I thought I listened to everything thoroughly but I still uncover releases I slept on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-cssT3fW-A
Birds — Electralane: Listened to one of their EPs ages ago but never tapped in until I stumbled across one of their songs a few weeks back which led me to listen to this album and it was surprisingly very solid with many W tracks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U43AA5meBXg
I might post a weekly, biweekly, or monthly chart to keep the thread active or something. Here's my most recent monthly chart:
Happy posting!

The past few months I have listened to music a lot less, which has shown me what music I like enough to miss.
Defy the skies - Unleash the archers
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mebmyQQOUvnBaIQ5cfZ_BXVAehVotRFsQThis EP is great all around, and holds it's identity so distinctly, I wish it was a full length album. These tracks show off the vocal maturity that the band had worked for throughout Demons of the Astrowaste and I am simply enamored by Brittany's control. There is a reason she is my all time favorite vocalist, and this EP shows it. The chorus's grab me and hold on tight.
Lyricaly speaking it's very intriguing. Unleash the archers is of course known for the storytelling in their concept albums, and this being an EP there is not as much as their other albums, but that doesn't stop it from coming in incredibly strong with "The Path Unsought", telling the story of a nameless prophet on the edge of death telling our protagonist to carry on and lead the way to a brighter dawn. This convinces our protagonist to stop being apathetic and prepare for the daunting task ahead.
Each of the next 3 tracks contribute to the story as well. There are interesting parallels to draw between Defy the skies and both Demons of the Astrowaste and Apex from a world building point of view. I wonder if the band has any materials that might connect the various stories they have told.
I could spend hours and paragraphs glazing Unleash The Archers, but I need to get back to work. I'm gonna come back here and leave another reply at some point, probably
