Bandcamp Friday recommendations

It’s Bandcamp Friday tomorrow! The perfect day to buy music on Bandcamp because all proceeds go to the artists! I already have my basket loaded with music, ready to shop tomorrow.

Don’t know what to buy? Here are some of my favourites.

  1. Bridges, by Jets Overhead (Soft) rock with beautiful vocals. Just a gorgeous and perfect album. Favourite track: All the People
  2. Vetrasól by Árstíðir Four men singing acapella icelandic hymns. What could be better for calming down to music?Favourite track: Heyr himna smiður
  3. To Be Touched, by Liam Ó Maonlaí One of the best Irish folk albums I own. His voice is just so beautiful. Favourite track: Siobhan Ní Dhuibhir
  4. MydWynter by Mediæval Bæbes The Mediæval Bæbes have been a favourite for many, many years. A group of 7 women who sing acapella medieval music (they also have some albums with instruments, I like those least 😃) This album has some christmas music, but I can listen to it every day. Favourite track: The Wexford Carol (but that changes each time I listen to this album)
  5. Love and hate in a different time by Gabriels I saw Gabriels at Glastonbury Festival in 2022, and it was easily one of my top favourite concerts. Such a beautiful soulful voice and music that goes straight to your bones. Favourite track: In Loving Memory (prepare to cry)
  6. Afternoon Jazz, by Various Artists I listen to a LOT of Lofi Girl, but this one is a definite favourite and bought the album. Lofi mixed with jazz. What’s not to love?
  7. sometimes i sit and think, and sometimes i just sit by Courtney Barnett A joyous rock explosion. Favourite track: Nobody Really Cares If You Don’t Go To The Party
  8. Spell 31, by Ibeyi This is such gorgeous music. The voices mingle so beautifully. Favourite Track: Lavender & Red Roses
  9. The last thing left by Say Sue Me Sometimes you need an album just because it makes you happy. This is that album. Favourite track: Around You.
  10. Island Intervals by Death Vessel I actually discovered this album clicking through Bandcamp, so it’s a great album to close off this list with. Lovely poppy/melancholic music, the kind you play on a windy autumn day. Favourite track: Velvet Antlers

There you have it, my list of ten recommendations! Hope you enjoy listening and finding great music on Bandcamp of course!
