Hey guys, Tim here. Super excited about this new artist, Animals as Leaders. The self-titled debut was super awesome, but the newer even more sick album, Weightless, is ridiculously good. (And available on Google Music). This is what I’m listening to right now and is giving me inspiration. It’s progressive-metal (with a jazzy classical infusion) instrumental music. With guitar melodies this good, you don’t need any vocal melodies.
Also, I’m listening to Buke and Gass. Very interesting duo that play all the sounds you hear in the recordings at once. Buke (Baritone Ukulele) and Gass (Guitar-Bass mix) are homemade instruments that the two play while the Buke/Singer plays bells on her ankles and the Gass/Singer plays the kick drum.
If you ever wondered about 11:17 influences….
