Solid. I'm glad we have more bands incorporating more creative song writing while also indulging in textural experimentation. Just an overall thrilling album.
Favorite tracks: Instrumental, Athens..., Science Fair, Sunglasses, Opus

Ghosts VI: Locusts moves and breathes organically like very few dark ambient/electronic albums. It dances with the legitimately uncomfortable tension the music creates in beautiful and often harrowing ways.
The Caretaker's "Everywhere at the End of Time" is monolithic project dragging you into the depths of a horrific artistic exploration of dementia. What starts of as a reminiscent and somewhat beautiful recollection of memories soon distorts and degrades into perhaps some of the most chilling sounds any artist has ever created. Even these sounds wear down into a dusty hum which ultimately gives way to nothing. Truly terrifying.
Idles, whether you like them are not, are one of the louder and more interesting punk bands emerging. Their energy is almost palpable, whether it be the smashing of chords in a joyous and frenzied chorus or the almost masterful buildups to said choruses. Idles captivate the listener with music that has so much fun just being itself, that it makes you feel good while experiencing it too.
Favorite tracks: all of them
