Set in Stone (2015) by Stick Figure (Bandcamp album link)   Wow.   Bandcamp has this thing where they show the albums/songs that are being bought in real time on their home page and I was just watching the albums slide by and I saw Stick Figure.   I liked the name and the album art so I gave them a shot.   Well praise the gods  for helping me discover these guys.  Actually it looks like this is more of a one-man project as the blurb on Bandcamp says: "From the musical imagination of Scott Woodruff emerges a vibrant sonic soundscape, revealed in the newest Stick Figure release, Set in Stone. As with his previous releases, Set in Stone was written, produced and recorded and mixed by Woodruff, a self-taught musician." That is my kind of guy.    Another thing that I like is the fact that the lyrics are quite intelligible, intelligent and included in written form on Bandcamp as well. Now the beats here are of the reggae style...

This is a recent discovery I made on Bandcamp.    Ms.  Donnelly´s first EP is called Thrush Metal (2017) and her first single is this song, Boys Will Be Boys which talks about rape and blaming the victim and how so many people even today say things like "women rape themselves" or "she was asking for it".    It is a delicate and powerful song  Check out the audio and/or the video below.
