Daedelus - The Bittereinders
58

Honestly I'm a bit disappointed in this. Veldt came up randomly on autoplay while I was listening to other stuff and it instantly intrigued me for its industrial production and strange shifting beats. However I checked out the rest of the album and it was nothing like that song at all, it was like this weird ambient stuff that is a little bit too avant-garde for my taste. The only song that came close to the strangeness of Veldt was Sold As but I didn't like that one at all, and ... read more

100

This is beyond incredible. A week ago I had absolutely 0 clue who born gold was and now after one album I can certifiably say I am obsessed, as this is by far the quickest album to receive a 100 from me. The fact that this album was made in 2011 is WILD, because it sounds ridiculously modern, like something that would have been made in the 2020 hyperpop craze, and yet it's nearly a decade early, AND better than EVERYTHING released in that phase. God damn. Every single song here is so ... read more

Iglooghost - Steel Mogu
80

Finally... finally I have listened to every Iglooghost project. Ironically, I started off with Clear Tamei, around half a decade ago, and it absolutely blew my mind. It took me a while before I really got into everything else by Iglooghost, but eventually I finally did, and now I can finally close it off with Steel Mogu. What can I say about Steel Mogu? It's really good! I'd say Clear Tamei is definitely the better one of the two sister EPs, but that also may be my own bias having sat ... read more

ANIMA! - Grow Your Garden
79

Very solid electro pop here. I don't think there is anything SUPER revolutional, there's not really any one song that really tickles my brain, but it makes up for that in also not having any misses. A really really consistently good album, but not super standout. But thats okay!

Dan Deacon - Mystic Familiar
100

Okay so, I have known this album for a while now, I streamed the song "Become a mountain" once it came out, and it took me another year to stream the full album, but now after a couple years, I can certifiably say that this is one of my favourite albums of all time now. Like, I did really really enjoy it when it came out, but over time I have just grown to love it more and more and more. I think the way I take in music is when I find something I really really like, I obsess over it ... read more

Andy Stott - Merciless
55

Andy Stott's debut album is nothing particularly bad, but definitely very, very forgettable. Definitely an artist who's work improves over time.

yeule - softscars
75

So, yeule's first two albums are among my favourite albums of all time for their ambient/glitchy atmosphere and vibe. However in this one they transfer into shoegaze/alt rock which unfortunately does lack that vibe their first two albums have, and is also generally pretty far from what I usually listen to, so naturally, I'm not into it as much. But still, I do strongly appreciate this for what it is and agree that it is made incredibly well. But god I'd kill for them to go back ... read more

Jackie Extreme - JACKIE EXTREME
70

I'm finally going through JACKIE's back catalogue, and I have to admit, this was better than I expected! I had previously listened to some songs off of this album and didn't really care for them, so I wasn't expecting to enjoy this at all but I have ended up decently surprised. I absolutely do think she's gotten better overtime- ONYX and the fire inside are definitely better than this, but this is still rather interesting. I think this albums biggest flaw is that a lot ... read more

Lucy Bedroque - Fête de la Vanille
80

This is really fun and catchy! "How To Pretend" is handily my favourite but honestly all of the songs are pretty good. A very neat lil EP.

Lotic - Power
77

You could tell me this album is by Arca and I wouldn't bat an eye.

TOKiMONSTA - Eternal Reverie
68

This is a solid album, though definitely not one of TOKiMONSTA's better albums imo. It feels roughly the same as her last album, Oasis Nocturno, which was also already a step down from Lune Rouge, although Lune Rouge was definitely her magnum opus so it's kind of hard to achieve those heights again. That being said, this was still good, although I do miss that era of TOKiMONSTA, though. TOKiMONSTA has always been a very big collaborator, with most of her albums especially in the past ... read more

Frums - vignette
73

This album is a mix of a LOT of things. Or I guess... this compilation is a mix of a lot of things. Sometimes it works really well, a lot of the time it does not really pan out, but it is still overall fairly enjoyable!

Rebecca Black - SALVATION
83

This was really great! I loved the explosive nature of the songs here, they were all very very fun and very satisfying. "do you even think about me" was easily my favourite, this one is adrenaline pumping, but "sugar water cyanide" and "tears in my pocket" were also major standouts for me for their fun deco club adjacent production. Overall this was an excellent little album!

Patricia Taxxon - Heaven's Sun
87

This little EP packs a really major punch! The songs here are very densely textured, and very fast, and everything is caked in reverb and echoes, and it always works really well for all 5 tracks here. If you like really loud and confusing music that you can't even remotely understand what the singer is saying, this is absolutely for you. My absolute favourite track here is "Misty!", as the build on that song is the most impressive to me, although both "Nurse!" and ... read more

Patricia Taxxon - Fresh Tapes 2
78

This album is pretty good! It's very intense and in your face, and Patricia's music is generally like that, but this one I felt it even more so that her other releases. Sometimes I think that is to the detriment of the album, particularly in the first half, but once you get used to it, the songs in the second half are extremely good! My personal favourites have got to be "THECREATURE" by a mile, which has a fantastic progression, especially in the second half, and ... read more

Fuck Buttons - Slow Focus
66

This is a really fascinating and dense album. It's definitely not NEARLY as good as tarot sport, but it's still pretty solid. I will say though, sometimes it does get a little bit monotonous. Overall a good listen though, brain freeze and hidden x's are the best 2 songs here.

Doldrums - Lesser Evil
97

This is FANTASTIC. This is such a fascinating find. The textures and the hypnotic pop structure of the songs here are truly fantastic. Every single song feels like it provides something to the overall album. Everything is very dizzy and disorienting, the chaotic beats and the almost aimless sounding vocals work in its favor so well to make a sound that is so cohesive and so incredible. These songs are all so ear-wormy to me. This thing is truly a hidden gem. I'll just talk about my ... read more

Boys Noize - +/-
45

I've heard what boys noize is capable of, and this is a complete lack of that. The only song I got any enjoyment out of was "Girl Crush" everything else was either painfully mid or really annoying to listen to. This is unfortunate.

Patricia Taxxon - Winter Beats
63

This is a pretty solid album from Patricia, definitely far from her best though. I wouldn't say it's super memorable, but it does have its good moments.

CocoRosie - Little Death Wishes
56

I tried to give this a chance, but it really just feels like B-sides to their last album, Put The Shine On. It doesn't feel like they've evolved in any way since then, and generally I am okay with artists sticking to their lane and doing the same sort of things over and over, but they have to at least keep the quality up, and they just don't here- the songs here are nowhere near as engaging to me as Put The Shine On, with the exception of Cut Stitch Scar, which I find to be a ... read more

On Sega Bodega - Dennis
"Yeah exactly. In Sega's music, he tends to embrace a really feminine side of being a man through both the production and the lyrics, which is much more typical of LGBT artists since this music and the themes tends to habit a more gender fluid space associated with the LGBT (part of the reason why I like it cause I'm gay lol). Ultimately to me it doesn't really matter if he is straight or not, the music is incredible, it was just kind of surprising lmaooo"

"no problem and ofc yeah, she was one of the first queer people that I really looked up to and made me feel comfy in my own body as a queer person so it hit really hard but I take solace in the fact that I am not the only one she impacted in that way with her work"
On BaddieBaphomet's review of SOPHIE - OIL OF EVERY PEARL'S UN-INSIDES
"god when you talked about the day sophie died it brought me right back to that too cause that was also the very first thing I saw when I woke up. I remember back then it was the height of covid so I was sleeping in absurdly late so I woke up just to go to the washroom and checked my phone and that was the first thing I saw and I was so shocked to the core that I could not fall back to sleep whatsoever. Also glad you mentioned Um Um as that has become one of my fav songs of all time and is one of the only ones that is able to consistently make me tear up LOL. Also want to mention Lost Everything by A.G. Cook & EasyFun (and Remi Wolf on vocals) off of their latest album cause that was also dedicated to her, it's another one that really hits me to the core. Really loved this writeup thank you a ton, from one queer person to another <3"
