Bon Iver - SABLE,
85

I mean sure it doesn't amount to much since it's only 3 tracks but I think these are some of Justin's best songs when it comes to writing, period.

glaive - May It Never Falter
55

The more glaive delves into a more interesting direction musically the more his songwriting and character become unappealing and redundant to me.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - "NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024 28,340 DEAD"
90

I feel devastated.
I feel powerless.
I feel ashamed.

The Smile - Cutouts
70

It's pretty good, I'm not complaining, I eat that shit up.

Blu & Exile - Love (the) Ominous World
80

Blu & Exile's passion and appreciation for the artform are something to behold.

The Weeknd - Timeless
70

I actually really like Carti's part here but Abel puts me to sleep...

Bon Iver - S P E Y S I D E
90

This is so well-written I cannot...

The Alchemist - The Genuine Articulate
55

"truthfully don't give a fuck about this rap shit" we can tell Larry June

Nilüfer Yanya - My Method Actor
65

I think she's got an appealing aesthetic down and her voice is really refreshing and gorgeous. Unfortunately, for me majority of the longer cuts don't really keep me hooked for their entire runtime and feel a bit unfocused. Enjoyable record and Yanya clearly has tons of talent and potential.

N*E*R*D - NO_ONE EVER REALLY DIES
75

After years of avoiding this album for whatever reason I finally gave it a try and I can't deny the sheer fun I had listening to this.

The production is playful, boundlessly creative while retaining a certain straightforward bounce to it. The features are pretty fitting, do the tracks justice the majority of the time and just add more variety and color to the musical palette of "NO_ONE EVER REALLY DIES".

Personally, some of the ideas here don't always form into ... read more

Pyrrhon - What Passes For Survival
90

Randomly got this recommended by someone and checked it out.

What immediately struck me was the various styles of vocals that had me instantly engaged and are probably the number one stand out of this project for me. Don't want to take away from the killer performances and numerous pretty memorable passages throughout "What Passes For Survival" though. The album keeps its grip around me very consistently and increases to brutally thrash me around sonically.
I'm still a ... read more

Sega Bodega - Teenage Dirtbag
95

idc what anyone says this was my shit when "Reestablishing Connection" first dropped and i still love it

Magdalena Bay - Imaginal Disk
90

The hype is real!

The most vibrant and fun album I've heard in a while. "Imaginal Disk" manages to embody everything that makes Synthpop appealing to me in addition to Magdalena Bay shaping and polishing their sound. Just recently got into their music but this is all I could've asked for.

Magdalena Bay - Mercurial World
85

I've been sleeping on this so hard wtf??

Ameer Vann - WOOF
30

Lotta woof, no bite.

MAVI - shadowbox
80

While "shadowbox" isn't necessarily a display of MAVI's growth as an artist or lyricist it's a strong return to form after "Laughing so Hard, it Hurts". The rapper's third full-length LP refines what made his debut so appealing in my opinion and brings forth a both somber and curative, emotionally captivating record.

Modest Mouse - The Moon & Antarctica
90

Trippy, eccentric, multifarious and endlessly engaging.
Picked this and "Good News For People Who Love Bad News" up on CD this weekend and it has been on repeat since. So many styles and ideas that come together effortlessly and brim with detail, color and character.

Jane Remover - Flash in the Pan
100

"I wanna make it to christmas but I fall off the bone" literally made me break down in tears the first time I heard it

Navy Blue - Memoirs in Armour
75

Pretty standard, short Navy Blue record.
Obviously comes with nourishing, reflective lines that stick and emotional highlights (especially "La Noche", god damn) but flies by pretty fast.
