HAPPY MUSIC REC MONDAY!! This week’s recommendat

HAPPY MUSIC REC MONDAY!! This week’s recommendation is The Kitchen Thimbles' album, “Oiseau Humour.” Brought to you by WCUR DJ, Sanjana Vinjamur!

Sanjana says this about the album, “They're a really unique band that doesn't get a lot of attention, but their music is really good! Even though this song is short, I really like the amount of emotion that you can feel and how well it can tell a story in such a little amount of time. If you like this song, I recommend checking out their spotify/other music because they are still new up and comers, but I think they have a lot to offer!”
