TEXTURE TO THE EXTREME
A couple years ago I saw Brooklyn band "Darling Din" do a show at Pianos. The band has recently come out with an interesting video, "Velvet", that seems to encapsulate their style and then ramps it up on steroids!
What originally caught my attention when I was sampling online music of different bands and deciding where to go that night was some of Darling Din's chord progressions as well as their nuanced texturing.

And I think this damage in the above definition is what they've done to concepts of traditional song structures. Watch this "capricious screed in punk's wool" as the band calls it. This was the band's submission in NPR's 2020 Tiny Desk Contest. :::
