静香 [Shizuka] - 天界のペルソナ [Tenkai no Persona]
NR

album of the day
305/365
this is just a little bit lackluster. the 4th track is nuts because it takes the melancholy vibe this album has and adds NOISE. the rest of this album is simply too monotonous but the 4th song is cathartic.

Boredoms - Super Roots 7
NR

album of the day
305/365
like seadrum/house of sun, it’s obvious what stands out here. the other 2 tracks are great, but there’s such an obvious stand out. this is what Super Ae SHOULD’VE been. i almost feel guilty not scrobbling this.

Boredoms - Super æ
NR

album of the day
304/365
this is neat. compared to VCM, this is just a bit mor batshit insane. this is both a plus and a minus. when it's fun, its the most fun ive ever had listening to an album. but when it tries too much, it becomes a slog. for example, super you and super are you are just no fun because they're too much. still cool though. the one two punch of Super Are and Super going is NUTS.
FAV TRACK: Super Are

大友良英 [Otomo Yoshihide] - Flutter
NR

album of the day
304/365
i don’t think i get this. it doesn’t feel fair giving this a score like this, but i just didn’t like it that much - the third track accomplished what i wanted to get from this exactly, but the rest was kinda overstimulating and under stimulating at the same time. all the high pitched frequencies distracted from the jazz and so i couldn’t focus on either. not too great. respect this though.
FAV TRACK: Serene

WALRUS - 光のカケラ [Hikari no kakera]
NR

album of the day

pretty neat yet unimportant shoegaze albumj. covers a lot of musical ground but not too worth coming back to often.
FAV TRACK: Ash

Tenniscoats - Live Wanderus
NR

album of the dasy
302/365
i found this on rym a while ago and then i LOST IT. i went on a journey to find it. what i did was i asked reddit, a discord server, and people on twitter what it was. someone in the server found it for me. it's peak. honestly, it had better be, considering i was losing sleep about this album.
FAV TRACK: In The sun

불싸조 [Bulssazo] - 뱅쿠오: 오늘밤 비가 내릴 모양이구나. / 첫번째 암살자: 운명을 받아 들여라. [Banquo: It Will Be Rain Tonight. / 1st Murderer: Let It Come Down.]
NR

this is honestly not too worth seeking out. since my soulseek was acting fucky, i couldn't listen to this readily and i had to do an unreasonable amount of looking for it. that being said -- it's neat. it has a little resemblance to artists like parannoul - apparently he was inspired by them. most songs on this a re pretty run of the mill - i did like em lots, but for how hard this was to find, to be honest, i expected more.
FAV TRACK: Teenage Love

カネコアヤノ [Ayano Kaneko] - タオルケットは穏やかな [A Towel Blanket Is Peaceful]
NR

album of the day
300(?)/365
this is exactly the kind of japanese pop-rock i love. this album is similar to the other one i've heard from Kaneko in that it's main detractor is how repetitive it is. the thing that saves this album and sort of leaves the other in the dust is the more dynamic instrumentation - the more noisy components do this album WONDERS. the ending tracks as well as the first 2 tracks are standouts, especially the title track.
FAV TRACK: Title track

High Rise - Live
NR

album of the day
299/365
really neat riffs, i'm not super super enthused by this though, it feels really samey and the improvisational aspects are neat, but i feel the only song i'l come back to is the last one.
FAVORITE TRACK: Pop Sicle

Bodychoke - Cold River Songs
NR

album of the day
298/365
pretty similar to post-hiatus era swans, especially the way the last track progresses. this is much bleaker than swans though, it really does feel like a cold river. couldn’t entirely get behind the guy’s voice at all. it was mostly the accent.
FAV TRACK: Victim

君島大空 [Ohzora Kimishima] - no public sounds

Unwound - Repetition
NR

album of the day

this is, surprisingly, not that repetitive. it's very dynamic, and sure, there is repetition involved, but as a whole, it's very very fresh on every song.. i really enjoy this project.
FAV TRACK: Corpse Pose

death's dynamic shroud - Faith in Persona
NR

not very good music for playing roblox horror games, but great for playing brainrot roblox tycoons.

Fishmans - ORANGE
NR

really great, lots and lots of fun from the fishmans. a lot more funky than i was expecting. some of their best, most poppy work is here. love it!
FAV TRACK: the 7th one

Jane Remover - Census Designated
NR

album of the day
292/293/365
GOD this is good. jane remover's definitive artistic statement up to this point. amazing guitars and lyrically really personal to the point of discomfort. it does tend to be a bit samey but this has some of her brst moments. i diodnt love lips as a single but GOD it works SO WELL HERE! this is just.. wow. holding a leech keeps it from perfection
FAV TRACK: Contingency Song

Ground-Zero - "Plays Standards"
NR

album of the day
292/365
this is NUTS! there's a lot of random noodling throughout the middle (like what even was that track that was just a guy taking a bath?) but for the most part this is some breathtaking prog with some really great noise interspersed. otomo yoshihide might be a genius.
FAV TRACK: Miagetegoran, Yoru No Hoshi Wo

明田川荘之 [Shoji Aketagawa], 三上寛 [Kan Mikami] & 石塚俊明 [Toshiaki Ishizuka] - 大勘定 [Daikanjyo]
NR

album of the day
291/365 (i got the day wrong about 40 days ago)
this is a pretty neat project. i don't know too much about this kind of improvisational music, but this doesn't sound like it was improvised for the most aprt. it sounds like fully fleshed out compositions. its really neat and i'm loving the emotion on ot, yet it kinda peters out towards the end, cuz there's only so much this vocalist can do. like it seems like his trick is to kind of break down. the piano on this album is ... read more

Car Seat Headrest - Teens of Denial
NR

album of the day
289/365
hmm.. i think i like car seat headrest, but this doesn’t really have much edge to it and that disappoints me a little bit. i was expecting a more lo-fi sound from this one and more energy all around. i had heard destroyed by hippie powers and fill in the blank prior to this and i enjoyed em cuz they were fast paced great rock songs, but then the rest of the album is just so long. i like Vincent for it’s energy as well but for the most part i don’t ... read more

album of the day

i wasn't expecting a new betcover album so soon. i wasn't expecting to see really anything from the band until like january at the earliest. so imagine my surprise this morning when a new album was releasing. (betcover is my favorite band, mind you). unfortunately, the album wasn't out in my timezone, and i was at school. so to me, the only obvious step to take was to download some random vpn and hope for the best. that didn't work for me. once i got home, i booted up ... read more
