Have any of y'all heard this? A music-loving friend of mine from Austin shared this with me. Microtonal music. Pretty wild stuff.
Whoa! Microtonal music.

Yes. I can’t figure out if I love them or hate them. Very strange and interesting stuff.
Creepy, catchy, intricate… they can play their instruments.
I will hear them occasionally on Indy 1023.

Neil Haverstick, a Denver local and killer guitar player, has been playing microtonal music around these parts for years. It definitely suits you or it doesn’t, not much middle ground, imo. Angine Poitrine is all the rage right now and they certainly have mad chops.
Man I just had a montage play through my head of a stray, but happy, dog roaming a suburban neighborhood sifting through trash, peeing on a car tire, humping someone’s prize poodle, walks carefree down a sunny sidewalk, takes a dump on Jerry’s lawn, running from Jerry spraying water from a garden hose at him, and coming to rest on the patio of a local brewery, where he’s the neighborhood celebrity and gets free dinner and a beer.

That's an interesting new sound. Never heard "microtonal" used to describe music. Neat. Is there a specific small micro sound that makes it more distinct and more tonal?

Oh good old Jerry. Sounds a lot like Hit That by the Offspring:

"Western" music is divided into 12 notes per octave. So-called Microtonal music, which has existed in the Middle East and SE Asia for centuries if not millennia, has more than 12 notes per octave. It's further subdivided in other words, and so it has notes that exist between the notes that our ears are used to hearing. It even has notes that might be very close to a note we know, but ever so slightly off from it - the 12-note scale and the various microtonal scales overlay each other differently. For people from other cultures, this is what they've always known and it sounds perfectly familiar.
Rick Beato does a great job talking about this.

Oh yeah! Rick is awesome.
I will be honest too. This much nuance is sometimes over my head. I do appreciate it, and find it fascinating people get so deep into it. Kinda like beer or coffee. I have a hard time getting it "right" when I try to explain a flavor profile. So I'm a simple man, I will just say if I do or don't like a beer or coffee.
This is interesting music. I like the body paint, but the noses are weird and appear uncomfortable.
Does Broken Peach count? They do a lot of body paint.
