Music recs: We The Kings, Wendy Matthews, Within Temptation
We The Kings: American alt-pop, full of earnest feelings, with just the lightest shiny glaze of fantastical imagery. (We The Kings playlist.)
Wendy Matthews: Clear, soulful, '80s pop. The playlist gets pretty samey part of the way down, but there's good stuff at the top. (Wendy Matthews playlist.)
Within Temptation: Gorgeous, epic, symphonic goth rock. (Plus some of those growly male vocals they love in goth-metal. Those tracks, I skip.) The soundtrack for your tormented hero's fall into anguish, or your fantasy team-up's desperate last-stand battle. (Within Temptation playlist.)
This first track is another of my Top Favorite Songs, Period:
