More lyrics these days indicate a heightened awareness regarding traits from within “the dark triad” (NPD / NVS / CPTSD). Lyrics read as a repeat of Echo and Narcissus.

Song | Hidden
Rules | Max 140 characters, two similar artists and/or songs
A POP:ier, more cheerful yet still absorbing Cocorosie and Fever Ray soundalike. Has a Nordic and pagan vibe with a traveling or hotel commercial kind of feeling to it.

Best cover of this song I’ve heard so far. The lead female vocals are amazing; soulful, deep and delicate. “The Story” (Brandi Carlisle) and Patty Griffin come to mind.

What if Massive Attack went a bit Witch House on us with a new serene female vocalist? Vinter EP is a dark mix between noise and sorrow. Surprisingly chill and relaxing.

Outback, old fashioned and eerie with a “old soul” feeling to both the lyrics and music. “Horse Head” (16 Horsepower) + “Las Cruces Jail” (Two Gallants) come to mind.
