So a while ago I posted Pixvae:

The guitarist, Damien Cluzel, has another project called uKanDanz, this is the opening track Tchuhetén Betsèmu from their album Awo:

Damn. That bass player has a KILLER tone. Pretty sure that's a DarkGlass preamp he's playing through to get that sound...

No idea about the equipment, but at least the overall mix lets you hear the bass clearly. It's the rhythm that strikes me more than the sound though.

After your post, Pixvae has sneaked into a few of my playlists, so thank you for this!

Really nice to get some feedback, rather then feel I'm just screaming recommendations into the void. I've said it before, the reason I keep posting music that I get excited about is not because it's popular, because it so rarely is. It's in case someone else discovers something they love as much as I do. That's how I've latched on to music almost no-one seems to like or even know but is near the pinnacle of music and means so much to me.

That's why I love these posts and other unrestricted music recommendations. It really blows apart the parameters of my narrow minded search for new music. I'm totally open to listening to any kind of music, but when it's left up to me I'll tend to focus on the same old trodden paths. I mean Kjell Höglund isn't really my cup of tea, but I would otherwise never have had a chance to listen.

That's why I'm really grateful to rezzeJ for taking up the mantle of #weeklymusicthread .

I was honestly worried I might have to do it :)
