Artist Spotlight-Pessimister

So, like finding Radio Wire Empire, Pessimister is another user of the music forum I go on, and shared his music with the community. His music is mainly acoustic guitar, but he has some folkier songs that include drums and other instruments. If you're interested in some sweet lo-fi folk, or just any acoustic music, pessimister is another artist you must add to your collection.
One of the best parts about it, is his music is free other than his "void" LP which you can name your own price for, so take a listen below and if you like it, download his EP's here. And even moreso, buy his LP.




REVIVAL/Dear and the Headlights Demos




So, I began to think: "Why the hell did I stop posting on my blog?" That question was answered with another question, and that was "What can I cover next?" which was a way for me to think about more music, and get lost from the original question. BUT, that was 3 months, today is a new day and new posts coming every other day. You have my word.
So, to build up some hype, I have something purely amazing.

Dear and the Headlights, (one of my all-time favorite bands) broke up this year. It was a very sad but necessary move for the band to be happy. But these guys are so cool, they actually answered the question "What happens to songs that aren't released?/What haven't we heard?". They gladly released 30 demos of songs never fully recorded or just first drafts. And I've got to say, it's amazing. Starting with a great emotional track "Come With Me For a While", the demos are just as good as getting a new album. So, all in all, something good did come out of the end of a great band. :)
