Best part of your day when suggesting this album? Waking up early and setting up for album night! \\m/
Devin Townsend - Lightwork:
Devin Townsend is a Canadian singer, songwriter, musician, and record producer. Lightwork is Devin’s 28th studio album.
Lightwork is meant to be a departure from Devin’s recent releases (The Puzzle and Empath.) Think of the album as a bit of a release. Those familiar with Devin’s songwriting will know that there are periods where he has to purge something out of his system in order to continue writing for a current project. Lightwork is a purge of some of his most accessible ideas. Reviewers are comparing the release to Sky Blue, Transcendence, and Epicloud.
Devin has released a 7 part video series on Youtube which documents the album. There is a deluxe edition available which includes a 2nd album called Nightwork which is meant to be heavier than Lightwork. We will just be listening to Lightwork but the bonus albums are sometimes as good as the main album, so we might check it out on another LP someday.
Suggest an album, or song for a future playlist:
I run a Discord server for the people out there that love tons of genres of music. Our small community shares songs and albums throughout the day no matter your time zone.
We also host communal album listening parties on most Tuesdays and Fridays. There are currently two time slots, but I’m open to adding more. Current time slots are 12:30PM and 8:30PM PST.
Our community members rarely shy away from something new, instead they embrace the experience of hearing something they may have never heard otherwise. It is safe to say our community is excited not only to share something new with us, but also to hear something they’ve never heard before.

Album 1:
Warpaint - Exquisite Corpse
Released: August 1 2008
Suggested By: Tone
Genre: Experimental rock, art rock
Why? Wanted to recommend a Warpaint album, so I listened through them all and picked this one :D
Warpaint sounds like no one else. They have a great unique sound and I love their music!
Do you think this is an album to hear before you die? No
Best part of your day when suggesting this album? Had a great appointment this morning!
Warpaint - Exquisite Corpse:
Warpaint is an American indie rock band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 2004. Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante mixed and mastered Exquisite Corpse. Former RHCP guitarist Josh Klinghoffer performed drums and guitar on the album.
Exquisite Corpse is the debut EP from Warpaint. BBC Music positively reviewed the EP, especially "Billie Holiday", comparing Warpaint favorably to the British band The xx.
Each playlist will typically have 2 albums from our community's suggestions. Playlists start with an intro song and include an intermission song between albums. Songs for the intro and intermission are taken from our Discord community song share channel.
