"Masking Her Majesty (Jill's Mask)"

This is a song by one of my favorite artists, Johnny "Forrest" Klein also known as Euphoria Again from Salt Lake City, Utah.  He is right up the alley with certain artists such as Coma Cinema/Elvis Depressedly, (Sandy) Alex G, R.L. Kelly, Fog Lake and other artists that have that similar bedroom recording style that can be heard on labels such as Orchid Tapes.

Euphoria Again, for some reason, stands out to me as the underdog. When I first heard his Bedroom Recordings and then his self-titled, I couldn't stop listening to his songs. His slow, hypnotic lullabies were the perfect antidote if I was feeling hopeless, depressed, or quite the opposite. Then when he released The Mouse Rides On, he got out of his bedroom and plays nearly every song you heard on that record. It sounds like he put a band together to record that one - but no, he's playing everything. The Mouse Rides On is one of my all-time favorite records. He has his own thing going for him and I think he knows it. 20 years from now, people will be praising this guy. So why not start now? Listen to the new split by Fog Lake & Euphoria Again, available free to download on bandcamp. It shows each artist putting out their most mature recordings yet. https://euphoriaagain.bandcamp.com/ 

Thanks for listening.

XOXO, Troy.
