Searows - Death in the Business of Whaling
80

I stumbled onto Death in the Business of Whaling on a whim and was pleasantly surprised by this indie-folk gem. The album is atmospheric and haunting, with acoustic guitars, low strings, and occasional percussion creating cohesive soundscapes throughout. Belly of the Whale feels like a siren calling to a ship and the intro to In Violet makes me feel like I’m on a ship and the horns are blaring. I loved the lyrics in Kill What You Eat and Hunter, and the building nature of Dearly Missed ... read more

Harry Styles - Aperture
95

Aperture feels like Harry Styles having fun and experimenting without trying to force a massive commercial moment, even though it will probably become one anyway. The techno and house influences shine through, with 808s that really hit and a late night, immersive vibe, while the vocal distortion makes his voice feel fully integrated into the production.

Louis Tomlinson - How Did I Get Here?

How Did I Get Here? is a fun, summery album that for me really shines through its fun and upbeat instrumentals.

Overall, it feels more like a collection of great playlist songs than a front-to-back listen, but the strong ... read more

Paris Texas - They Left Me with the Sword
85

I really enjoyed They Left Me with the Sword. The narration is one of the strongest elements of the EP, adding structure and personality while helping the project feel cohesive. The sound is confidently experimental, especially on tracks like “Dogma 25” and “Tantrum,” where the flow, production, and energy come together effectively. “Holy Spinal Fluid” and “infinyte” stand out as highlights. While songs like “Red Eyes & Blue ... read more

Paris Texas - They Left Me with a Gun
90

I really loved They Left Me With a Gun. This EP is chaotic, weird, and experimental in a way that completely works for me. The guitar is consistently amazing, and I love how the vocals shift between different voices, effects, and narration, it keeps everything feeling fresh and unpredictable. Songs like “Superstar,” “Twin Geeker,” and “Stripper Song” really stand out because of how bold and unhinged they feel, while still being super satisfying sonically. ... read more
