Black Country, New Road - Forever Howlong
100

It’s so fantastic. Everything is so lush and instrumentally dense as these songs wander through odd structures and genuinely tear-jerking melodies. The lyricism is just as good as Isaac’s was, with the 3 songwriters singing in such a cohesive way that it isn’t jarring in the slightest. It straddles the line of being twee so well that it’s hard to believe that this is band coming newly formed. Deserves many, many listens. Everything is a highlight.

Melvins - Savage Imperial Death March
88

A wild album that defies description. Goes into surprisingly electronic/avante-garde territories. The styles between these two bands match up so well, and the riffs and sludgy bass lines are just so good. Highlights include Some Kind of AntiChrist, Nine Days of Rain, Rip the God, and Stealing Horses.

Gita is absolutely screaming his brains out, and his lyrics focus on the dehumanization of labor under modern capitalism. Who can’t relate?

FKA twigs - EUSEXUA
27

A near-parody of art-pop-landfill music. Baffling and flat production and a singer who is asleep at the wheel. Highlights include “Girl Feels Good.”

Deathspell Omega - Paracletus
88

Holy dissonance. This is black metal like nothing I’ve ever heard. Far closer to gorguts than to darkthrone. The vocals are awesome and really mesh well with the riffs, even if the production does get muddy at some points. How do you even talk about the riffs? I can’t besides from warning that they will hit you in places you didn’t think music could hit. Really nothing wrong with this besides the mixing, which isn’t lofi enough to be atmospheric but isn’t hifi ... read more
