The Flood by Ben Caplan
Much as I rant against digital platforms and their advertising and data chomping business models, once in a while they deliver something I would not otherwise have found. Ben Caplan is a Canadian artist labeled as "folk", although I'm willing to bet that hearing you'll not associate his music with your mental image of folk. The title track from this album is mind-blowing, both dark and driven, with fantastic lyrics, an amazing vocal performance and a piano pulse that won't let go and will run around your head for days. The rest of the album, while not quite so powerful, is really amazing as well, and I can only recommend it.
