Tei Shi really impressed me with her debut Crawl Space. Not the biggest fan of her turn to a more commercial pop kind of sound, but there is still plenty to enjoy on the Bad Premonition EP. Have a feeling this could grow on me.
Was worried when I heard the title track but This Is Why really delivers and is probably the band's best effort yet. Thick Skull is such a great closing track.
Not very big on cover albums but Hether kind of crushes it here. Sad Songs, Dreams and My Funny Valentine are especially good.
I have to give it up to Anthony Hull and co. for still managing to innovate and expand their sound further nearly two decades into their career.
This is the first record I've heard from Caroline Polachek but it certainly won't be the last. Extremely catchy and versatile pop record. In a lot of ways she feels like a spiritual successor to Imogen Heap.
Excellent release. Wednesday really blew me away with this one. Definitely going to be catching up on their earlier albums.
More like 10,000mg of Adderall. These gecs are some mad scientists, combining anything from hyperpop and nu-metal to ska and pop punk. This shit is all over the place in the best way.
Black Thought continues to impress more than ever with these collabs. While he doesn't reach the heights of Cheat Codes here, this is an incredibly consistent and memorable hip hop record. Bound to be one of the very best records the genre has to offer this year.
Amazing shoegaze release from Softcult. A band with a lot of potential to be on the look out for.
Between Pantomime and this, it's clear that Beshken deserves a lot more attention. Excellent EP.

On YoussWRLD's review of Sigur Rós - Ágætis byrjun
"Svefn-g-englar pretty much sonically blasts me out of a cannon into space with how cosmic and powerful it is. It's probably the unique and mysterious (almost alien) vibe of the whole album and Jonsi's insane vocals that do it for me.
Thank you, I try to rate as honestly as possible. Who knows maybe I'll come across a 100 one of these days? You've got great taste. 👏"
On YoussWRLD's review of Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas
"That song is so incredible. Heaven or Las Vegas is probably one of the best pop songs of the 90s for me. My favorite Cocteau Twins tracks right now are Sugar Hiccup, Lorelei and Orange Appled."
