What are you listening to?

I’m a huge Clutch fan and I think this song has tremendous resonance with the demeanor that many on this forum are working towards. The song itself never did much for me when it first came out but when I saw the music video I immediately fell in love. It’s the story of a man fighting the evils of the world that present themselves in the mundane. He does it with confidence, joy and a true sense of love for life.
Without further ado here is “Ghoul Wrangler”

I came across this Bulgarian Folklor and it's inspiring to listen to and I find it empowering as well, are there more kinds of music like this? what do you call this kind of music? Folklore?

This is incredible ... a great sound. Their pitch is fantastic ... one of the great things about groups that only have vocals is that they often stretch the tuning of the chords they sing to make them sound fatter and richer like in this video ... and it's gorgeous (A Heavenly host of angels) ... and the voicings (No pun intended) of the chords they are singing are fairly sophisticated ... at times with them singing super close intervals to one another ... I am glad I'm not trying to get members of a band to sing a lot of these harmonies/intervals/chords ... lol.

Reminds me of an incredibly humbling exercise for most musicians ... Play middle C once( or a note in your vocal range) ... then simply sing chromatically up one semitone at a time to see if you can accurately make it up one octave higher (In tune of course) without referring to the piano or instrument for reference. Most crash and burn about a third to halfway up the octave unless they've referenced the pitch values by what they feel like in their bodies as opposed to what they sound like to their ear. And most who make it all the way up are rarely in tune with the note they started on by the time they get to the 5th ... and their octave would not be in tune with the note they started on either. If you try that exercise you'll get more aware of the infinity of potential pitch values between one semitone and the next. Sorry to go off on a tangent but that is what this incredible performance brought to mind. Thanks for sharing!
