AFI - Aurelia

AFI (The Blood Album) on AllMusic

So I got my January 2017 AllMusic.com Editors’ Choice Playlist done. Every month, I take the first 3 “track picks” from the indie, electronica, folk, country, blues, reggae/world and sometimes pop albums on the list and create a nice juicy playlist, This month, it is 97 songs, with over 6 hours of music. While the list is very hit or miss, it’s a great way to get some new music into my ears. You can find the playlist here.

I particularly like it when it starts off with a winner. The list is alphabetical, so it is even more random, but this month starts with the newest release from veteran indie punk group AFI, called AFI (The Blood Album). This is their 10th release and features one of the things I love most - jangly guitar indie rock. It must be shameful that I’ve never listened to these guys before, but that’s certainly something I will rectify post haste! Think I’ll start with 2003’s Sing The Sorrow, which is AllMusic’s Recommended pick.
