Album of the Week: Sköld’s Anomie
I became aware of Tim Sköld’s existence when he temporarily joined Marilyn Manson. I don’t remember where I learned that he was a member of KMFDM, but I assumed that was where he came from. It wasn’t until last year that I stumbled across his solo work.
Anomie has two of my favorite songs by Sköld — “(This is My) Elephant” and “Suck” — and that’s why it is my album of the week.

Album of the Week: Lord of the Lost’s Empyrean
I was browsing YouTube, just selecting various videos related to whatever I was watching at the time, and I came across the song “Raining Stars.” I fell head over heels. I’ve been listening to Lord of the Lost ever since. I chose Empyrean as my album of the week because it contains the aforementioned track.
