Porches - Rib Cage

I mention Bandcamp a lot in my posts because most of the new music that I come across is thanks to their ¨Discover¨ page which I sort through on a regular basis.   But today on Bandcamp I got a little help from Mary-Kate Frett and her collection of songs.     The group is Porches and the songs are mostly, kinda slow and wistful with a certain charm that I find hard to describe.   In some ways it reminds me of Prefab Sprout meets Radiohead.    Anyway, you can decide for yourself.   Here are a couple of recommended tracks to start with:
The first song that I heard by Porches, the one that caught my attentions was Rib Cage (Bandcamp link).  It's off the album Summer of Ten which came out in 2011.  
  

Here is a song with a little more electronic feel to it, Anymore.   It;s off the album The House from 2018.
So I hope you enjoy this music.    Please let me know if you find a favorite song.    I need your help because there is so much stuff out there I just don't have time to listen to it all.

Our Bog Is Dood - by SHT Musik

My song Our Bog Is Dood is closely based on the poem of the same name by Stevie Smith.    She is one of my favorite poets.   She also wrote Not Waving But Drowning which I believe is her best-known work.  (My song and video for that one are here .)   I love what one YouTuber called Stevie´s "twisted, darkly comic style."       Now about the poem, it seems pretty obvious when you read it  that "Our Bog is dood" is code for "our God is good".  Those who profess this are children, naive followers who do not question their religious beliefs but accept them blindly.   However, even between the true believers there is conflict because when it gets down to the exact details of what their God is like "They never could agree".   Religion, in the end, is an individual experience and Smith slyly illustrates this.   She also mentions intolerance for anyone who doesn´t bow down to the children´s God.   The children have their beliefs, saying   "And if y
