Genuinely floored by this album. I'd never heard of this band before, only seeing them get shouted out by Galen tipton on instagram. Now, Galen tipton has quickly risen to be one of my all time favourite modern artists, with her two truly fantastic 2025 albums, both of which cracked my top 3 of the year, so if she's shouting out a project then I damn well will want to check it out. And holy shit, I am so glad I did, because this is phenomenal. I think the mix of glitch pop with some ... read more
Genuinely can't believe this exists. We are so blessed in the year of 2026 to have another boards of canada release. top 3 songs are blood in the labyrinth, arena Americana, and father and son. father and son has weird ass vocal samples that normally I would tend to dislike, but for some reason, I really enjoy here. actually, I know the reason- it's freakin boards of canada, they always excel at everything they do. Blood On The Labyrinth is my #1 because that one synth they use is ... read more
I suppose this is the best of the tomorrow's trilogy, but honestly all of them are very similar in my eyes. They are interesting enough on their own, but definitely don't stand up to the highs that son lux was doing before this. I did quite like Come Recover though- that one was really nice, possibly my favourite of the entire trilogy, though undertow from I would probably compete with it. and honestly, at least half the songs on bones, lanterns, and we are rising outshine all the ... read more
sadly I do think this is slightly weaker than tomorrows 1 :/ once again it's really lacking songs with a punch, not that slower son lux songs can't be good, but they just feel... idk, they feel sort of lacking. I do still quite like live another life and apart, those are good, but everything else feels forgettable.
I think this is probably one of the weakest Son Lux albums honestly- it certainly isn't bad, but almost all of the songs are slower and more melancholic, and I do kind of feel that they don't always stick. That isn't to say they're all bad, cause I am still quite fond of Last Light and Undertow, but that's mainly because I really like the beats in both of them. Even then, you can kinda feel that they last for a while, which considering they're only 5-6 minutes ... read more
Finally, I've completed every single Babuchan album. I liked this! It wasn't my favourite thing ever from Babuchan, but still had some really fun and explosive songs. I think this specific style of 2010's sort of glitched out underground Japanese experimental production is some of my FAVOURITE type of sound ever- I really hope babuchan goes back to this type of this sound if they ever come back.
