GRMLN, Japanese-American lad called Yoodoo Park (with band). I ‘discovered’ him/them just this year and when checking out the back catalogue there were nearly a dozen albums released since 2012, I think prolific is the word. And not only are all of them brilliant they all sound different but heavily influenced by bands that I also love. ‘Discovery’ could actually be a Strokes album, then there’s others that have Wild Nothing vibes, hints of French Films. Just lots of hits.
*this might change over time as I’m still exploring but these are the initial hits that make it on to the playlist.
Teenage Rhythm – Empire
💩💩💩💩💩
“I’m giving up
When I don’t even know your name
And I’m moving on
When I don’t even know your name”
Blue Lagoon – Empire
💩💩💩💩💩
“I see the world going by without me
It’s just the way that I’m moving back to you”
Jaded – Soon Away
💩💩💩💩💩⭐
Awake – Soon Away
💩💩💩💩💩
War – Discovery
💩💩💩💩💩
Night Racer – Discovery

“I thought about the past.
To think about it now.
I walked into the dark.
Don’t follow me now.”
Void – Discovery
💩💩💩💩💩
If This Is Love – Discovery
💩💩💩💩💩
“It’s not so easy talking with you
When you hear just what you want
Cause when the wrong is said to be right
Then love is just a game I’ll leave behind
She asked me why I left to go away
And I said…
If this is love then I don’t like it
If this is love then I won’t fight it
If this is love then I don’t like it
If this is love then I won’t fight it anymore
I’m not so crazy falling for you
When there’s no good reason to
And when the stars are falling apart
Make sure to burn the trails you left behind
I asked where she went to go away
And she said…
If this is love then I don’t like it
If this is love then I won’t fight it
If this is love then I don’t like it
If this is love then I won’t fight it
She’s just looking for the only man to sweep her off her feet
And I’m not waiting for another day to throw away the key
The trains now gone yea there’s no going back to the words I won’t repeat
If you see that girl won’t you let her know, I was saving for the call
Cause this is love and I don’t like it
Cause this is love and I won’t fight it
Cause this is love and I don’t like it
Cause this is love and I won’t fight it
Cause this is love and I don’t like it
Cause this is love and I won’t fight it “
Two Gods – Goodbye, World
💩💩💩💩💩
“I’m trying not to let you down
Hear your voice
Whisper through the window cracks
In my mind
I was doing nothing right before you came
How can I relieve this pain if you go?”
Sun – Goodbye, World
💩💩💩💩💩
Fear – Morning Star
💩💩💩💩💩
