Welcome to the first edition of our brand-new... I don't know what we're supposed to call this thing. A "sub-series"? Is that correct? We'll just go along with that. So welcome, dear listener, to the first edition of what will hopefully become a long-running sub-series here at TRAPPO: The New Music Showcase! Now what, you may well be asking, is The New Music Showcase? Why, it's an earnest attempt from us here at the show that talks about stuff on purpose to inform you, dear listener, of some recently released music. That's pretty much it. We listen to new music, we chat about it for a few minutes to provide you with a little context, then we ask you to listen to it and get back to us with your informed opinions. It's that easy! This first episode of The New Music Showcase is all about Swedish artist Fever Ray's latest release, Radical Romantics, so give it a listen!


And if you want to listen to Radical Romantics, just click here!


By the way, we're also asking you to vote in a poll. Here's the way this process would unfurl in an ideal world: you listen to this latest episode, then you listen to Radical Romantics, then you make an informed decision in the poll you'll find at this link! The question, of course, remains: Does Radical Romantics by Fever Ray belong in the TRAPPO Essentials Can(n)on? The fate of this record is entirely in your hands, dear listener! So vote with your heart. Voting will remain open until our next episode goes live, whenever that happens to be.


Once again, visit this link to vote in our latest poll! Which link? This link! Click this text! Not this text. This text!



While we've got your attention, why don't you leave a comment on the official TRAPPO blog telling us what you think of Fever Ray's Radical Romantics in excruciating detail? Don't hold back. We want your honest opinions. Do you enjoy this record? Do you think it's a reeking pile of garbage? Tell us what's on your mind! And you can also tell us what you think of this fledgling "sub-series" while you're typing your lives away if you're in the proper mood. We love your feedback.


Speaking of feedback: please, for the love of all things sacred, if you are reading this text, send us an email! We've grown truly desperate as of late, and we need somebody, anybody, to validate our online existence with an email. It's [email protected], by the way. Send us an email, even if you just want to spend a few minutes calling us sad losers who wouldn't know how to make an entertaining podcast if our pathetic lives depended on it. Engagement is engagement, after all, and beggars can't be choosers.


Thanks for listening, thanks for voting, and we'll see you next time!
