BIG GIRL REVIEW: I know I’m late to the party.
Charli xcx is not an artist I have sunk my teeth into at all. Hell, pop as a genre is a little out of my wheelhouse. But BRAT has been an undeniable force of a record in only its first four months of release, and somehow I’ve avoided all of it. I kept my ears closed for as long as I could when it came to BRAT…and I honestly don’t know why. This is normally the part in my reviews where I would recap Charli’s rise as a ... read more

https://www.albumoftheyear.org/user/hypogrrrl/
Okay so, I normally hate these kind of "update posts" that people do on this site, but obviously this is a pretty important update considering it's the last thing i plan to post on the AlisonCrimson account. To make a long story short; I'm now using the @hypogrrrl account as my main. But to make a long story long, for those who might be curious, here's why I decided to jump ... read more
GRAZING THROUGH DISCOGRAPHIES: Thee Oh Sees (18/25)
LITTLE GIRL REVIEW: I feel honored to be one of the four people on the planet who have listened to this thing.
This shouldn't count, right? Hearing that the Oh Sees have twenty five studio albums under their belt hits a little different when one of them is...this. This is like if Sony counted a PS1 tech demo as a "game" on the same level as Final Fantasy VII. I mean, what am I even supposed to say about this thing? How am I ... read more
GRAZING THROUGH DISCOGRAPHIES: Thee Oh Sees (17/25)
LITTLE GIRL REVIEW: Consider my face stabbed.
Oh boy, looks like we've got a "white album" on our hands. For anyone unfamiliar with the term, a white album is a lengthy, experimental album released during a time of great stress with ideas that can often either sound beautiful or downright silly.

GRAZING THROUGH DISCOGRAPHIES: Thee Oh Sees (16/25)
LITTLE GIRL REVIEW: Rest in peace to all those who thought this would be a metal album based on the cover art.
Stop me if you've heard this one before; this is the longest and most ambitious Oh Sees album yet and, although it has a lot of fun and energetic tracks, it looses a bit of steam halfway through as it enters it's more instrumental, jammy cuts. Yes, as many of you may have noticed, this is an abridged version of what I said ... read more
GRAZING THROUGH DISCOGRAPHIES: Thee Oh Sees (15/25)
LITTLE GIRL REVIEW: The moment I heard John Dwyer's funny little gremlin voice ask me for a cigarette, I knew I was in for something special.
Alright, playtime's over. Thee Oh Sees have officially dropped the "Thee" from their name, changed their lineup again and dropped their longest, most ambitious project to date. Orc is our first full dive into the surreal prog inspired works that the band have only teased us with up ... read more
