In No Particular Order – EP. 8 [Luke Lalonde, Sleep Token, Salvation]
Welcome to In No Particular Order, the best choice for finding the best album releases of the week! This week we have quite a few albums to talk about, and just like a good plate of nachos, there is a lot of different ingredients and styles involved. We’ve got metal, we’ve got folk, we’ve got noise-rock, and you better believe we have some indie in there for you as well.
In case you haven’t already, don’t forget to follow Dusty Organ on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
Plus, if you’re a Spotify user, you can find us on there as well! Each month, you can listen to a playlist composed of all the music found on the blog, my email, and any other music I liked during the 30/31 days of whichever month you find yourself listening. It’s a great summary of everything I end up covering, and more!
Sleep Token – Sundowning
“No names, no external paradigm, just the music. The lack of distractions tends to heighten the intensity of the music, similar to sensory deprivation. Combine all of that with the dizzying genre-crossing music of Sleep Token, and you’ve got yourself one hell of an interesting music act”.

Luke Lalonde – Perpetual Optimist
“Perpetual Optimist is fun, meaningful, personal, and some of Lalonde’s best and most confident work to date. He is definitely one of Canada’s more underrated musicians and songwriters”.

Salvation – Year of the Fly
“The Chicago-based trio have a strong, no-holding back philosophy with their music making, and the result is a hard-hitting noise-rock album that welcomes comparison to the unpredictable aggression of ‘90s hardcore punk icons The Melvins, Husker Du, and Refused, with some grunge-era sludge bass lines of Nirvana and Alice in Chains”.

Bonus Picks!
Coldplay – Everyday Life
“Fortunately for Everyday Life, the music is reminiscent of their sound from almost a decade ago. It feels like if X&Y had travelled through a time warp and was released in 2019″.

Black Letters – Still As You
“All the way from Bangalore, India, Black Letters have released their latest album Still As You. Combining psychedelic, electronic, and dream-pop into their sound, Still As You is a collection of easy listening, and sincere tracks written about hitting your late twenties“.
