For this show we played bands from every country that had medaled in the 2018 Winter Olypics in order of their medal count. I tried to choose the best representatives of each nation.
Apologies to:
Liechtenstein: couldn't find a band.
Slovakia: I just forgot
Germany and Norway: Y'all should have had more songs, I ran out of time

Hypnotide's debut LP Landlocked was a surprise favorite from 2015. With only 6 tracks, Hypnotide can't possibly show the same flexibility with their sound that they did on the LP, and they don't really attempt to.
After 6 years without a release, Y Niwl (pronounced Ur Nyool) have emerged with a new sound. For lack of better terminology, it's a bit more "indie' with guitar tones more in-line with modern music and with the keys (still prominently featured) expanding to different tones as well. I like it. They keep their whimsy from earlier works but have moved into something a little more expansive sounding.
