Music Monday: Gurdy’s Green


Music Monday 2

Welcome to Music Monday – a weekly meme created by The Tattooed Book Geek where we share the songs we love, the bands we like and the music we just can’t get out of our heads.


This week’s Music Monday is Gurdy’s Green, an instrumental track by German musician Patty Gurdy played entirely on a hurdy gurdy. This dark folk pop track found its way into my music library after playing far too much Sea of Thieves, a game which allows players to join in concert with traditional instruments as they battle for dominance on the high seas.

Sit back, listen and enjoy!

Music Monday: Svitjod


Music Monday 2

Welcome to Music Monday – a weekly meme created by The Tattooed Book Geek where we share the songs we love, the bands we like and the music we just can’t get out of our heads.


This week’s Music Monday is Svitjod, an ambient Nordic folk track by Forndom from their dark, beautiful and melodic album Dauðra Dura. This is an evocative, ambient and highly listenable track which could easily form the backdrop to many a fantasy or Norse inspired read. Powerful and atmospheric, Svitjod truly is an awe-inspiring piece of music.

Sit back, listen and enjoy!

This week’s Music Monday is Blade Runner 2049, a synthwave track by Synthwave Goose. As well as being an awesome and addictive piece of music – another I would highly recommend reading space opera to – I absolutely love that single cover featuring Joi and Mariette. Just brilliant!

Sit back, listen and enjoy!

Welcome to Music Monday – a weekly meme created by The Tattooed Book Geek where we share the songs we love, the bands we like and the music we just can’t get out of our heads.


This week’s Music Monday is an electro house track from the soundtrack to Furi, a boss-fight game by independent game studio The Game Bakers. My Only Chance is by The Toxic Avenger – a French DJ, song writer and record producer – and is a perfect accompaniment to many an action-packed sci-fi novel or space opera.

Sit back, listen and enjoy!

Music Monday 2

Welcome to Music Monday – a weekly meme created by The Tattooed Book Geek where we share the songs we love, the bands we like and the music we just can’t get out of our heads.


I have always loved listening to music whilst reading and finding the perfect musical accompaniment to each book always makes the experience more fulfilling. In fact, it wasn’t very many years ago that I used to write a ‘Bookish Beats‘ post every Sunday to pair an album with a book, and this post certainly puts me in mind of that.

This week’s Music Monday is an electro house chillout track by French electronic musician Danger which hits all my Science Fiction notes. This instrumental track is hypnotic, melodic and incredibly atmospheric and has me hitting repeat every single time.

Listen, watch and enjoy!
