Welcome back to the show that talks about stuff on purpose! Since we got such a great response from last week's New Music Showcase [UM}, we've decided to do it all over again with a new New Music Showcase! This week, we're talking about a... heavy folk metal... band from Tyrol, Austria called Perchta, and their latest release, "D'Muata"! It's something special, kids, and we hope you enjoy listening to this music at least twice as much as we enjoyed talking about it! If you'd like to listen to "D'Muata", by the way, you can CLICK HERE to check out their Bandcamp page, which you should. It's always important to support the artists you love. Since this is a New Music Showcase, that means there's an obligatory poll over on our official blog. CLICK HERE to visit the blog and vote in that poll, if you're feeling frisky. The fate of "D'Muata" is in your hands! Do you think this album belongs in the TRAPPO Essentials Can(n)on? You get to decide! While you're there on the blog, you might as well scroll down just a bit and leave a comment. Tell us what you think of Perchta's music. Do you think it's neat? We want to know! You could also share those thoughts in an email, if that's more your speed. CLICK HERE to send us an email, which we would certainly appreciate. We're also on Threads. Are you on Threads? Then CLICK HERE to follow us on Threads, and we'll probably follow you back on Threads. That would be cool. Threads. There's an official TRAPPO newsletter out there for your enjoyment. Were you aware of this? It's called The TRAPPO Town Gazette, and new editions drop each Wednesday. You can CLICK HERE to subscribe for free, and it will enrich your life. Probably. Maybe.
