Rock music

Deep in the swamp at an unholy hour: Song for a Gorgeous Blonde's dold kappa contorts an old demo into an unholy mixture of downtempo, jazztronica, and experimental electronic — complete with a Steely Dan-esque riff lurking near the end — while Repetition inför söndagen offers a reverent, church-organ-cradled downtempo excursion complete with a nasty unrehearsed solo. syn.terra's Mellow Evil fuses jazz, grinding guitars, and atmospheric electronics into instrumental progressive swamp metal, and Kharybdis brings piano-driven industrial jazz grooves fit for a swamp sunrise. Tim Woodruff's Lifelines delivers heartfelt alt-rock rooted in emotional honesty, while The Kintners' Some Folks offers quiet folk meditation on growing older and the damage we inherit.
