Albums of the Quarter #2

Albums of the Quarter is back for another edition.

These last 3 months, I have been listening to more electronic / pop / alternative music. I think the summer vibes from Calgary gave me some new perspectives on my music consumption. It was a great summer.

Artists featured this time:

  1. The Eddie Higgins Trio
  2. Dayglow
  3. Billie Eilish
  4. Twenty One Pilots
  5. Justice
  6. Charli XCX
  7. Kanye West
  8. Moby
  9. Blur
  10. Betamaxx
  11. deadmou5
  12. FM Attack

First, I have 2 jazz albums on repeat whenever I pick up a book to read: The Eddie Higgins Trio has been my companion during these times.

Then, we have the alternative / pop: Dayglow, Billie, 21 Pilots, Charli. These are all very recent releases, and I have been really enjoying the variety, and the genre bending they do with their songs.

To work, I’ve been jamming some electronic music a lot. Justice’s Woman, or “Audio, Video, Disco.” have been great companions, paired with Moby’s Play, 18, and Hotel. Blur is not exactly electronic music, but it’s close to Moby’s style. Betamaxx, and FM Attack are more video-game-like, if that makes any sense. I love it.

If you like any of the small albums, consider purchasing some of their albums or songs on iTunes, or CD. It helps these upcoming artists a lot.
