Some Sounds from Libya

Libya has been mentioned so much in the news lately. Right now, I can only hope the people of Libya come out of this with a positive result, and the violence ends soon, but despite all their turmoil, one of the things I wondered about the most was.....what is their music all about?
Of course, they have lots of traditional Middle Eastern music, but I wanted to try and find some songs and arrangements that were different just to see how vast the music of Libya can get.



For some reason I think B Kemp might like this group. This is the Tuareg style, with origins in the Libyan Sahara. However, I think this song has a lot more alternative qualities than a lot of Tuareg music.

Some Libyan reggae

This has a rather smooth feel, and I am not super into reggae, but for some reason this seems really relaxing.

Libyan Death Metal on Guitar

Well, this sound speaks for itself. Libyan Death Metal Riffs.

QATFYG: Just curious, Is it true that every country in the world has some form of good music?

"Anchors" - AM Higgins

Here's a nice breezy, almost sensual song from AM Higgins (the solo project of musician Annie Toth) to start your Tuesday off right.  Her debut album "Hymning" will be out November 5th on Victorialand Records. The album was mixed by Casey Foubert, a frequent collaborator of Sufjan Stevens. The album "captures the first years of moving from an American city to rural France." Sounds like "Hymning" will be a welcome escape from the world we live in right now, especially considering that Annie Toth counts poets Mary Oliver and Thomas Merton as influences.

"Happy New Year"- Let's Eat Grandma

There's no way to start the New Year like some extremely upbeat music about the New Year! That's where this new synthpop-heavy single from the British duo Let's Eat Grandma comes into play. It's a delightful song, and it helps increase any excitement about their third album, "Two Ribbons," which will be out this April. I personally am looking forward to hearing more from Let's Eat Grandma, who deserve way more attention than they currently get. Hopefully, 2022 will be a big year for them. Here's one of their older tracks I quite like:

3 New Lana Songs Come Out From Upcoming Album "Blue Banisters"

Not even that far off from "Chemtrails Over The Country Club" being released this past March, Lana Del Rey dropped three new singles off her upcoming project, "Blue Banisters." They include the title track, "Text Book," and "Wildflower Wildfire." All three songs seem to merge the worlds of "COCC" with "Norman Fucking Rockwell," specifically Lana's mouthful of a track "Hope is a Dangerous Thing for a Woman Like Me To Have But I Have It." They also seem uncharacteristically more confessional than most of Lana's catalog to date, specifically "Wildflower Wildfire," which alludes to a conflict with her mother. She even starts the track with "Here's the deal," readying to show more of her backstory than she ever has in her decade-plus-long career. The three songs are gorgeous - especially "Text Book," which has a haunting quality to it (she mentions "Black Lives Matter" i
