Crywolf - let me be your womb
72

It's pretty decent. tenebrescence is the best song here. also the longest, but it uses all of that time wisely. It feels like the climax, which is... strange that it's the second song. celestina and you; bichromatic light are also really good too

Crywolf - widow [OBLIVIØN Pt. I]
70

This is pretty good. I think the second album in this dual album series is significantly better than this one, though. This one has a pretty strong first half, with songs like FALLOUT and QUIXOTE really carrying, the latter of which is my favourite song on the album, but I think the second half really struggles to establish itself- everything else is a lot more slow and lush and I find that to have mixed results, that usually lean negative. "DRIP" and "ultraviolent" are ... read more

Crywolf - exuvium [OBLIVIØN Pt. II]
90

WOW! I am blown away by this. Now THIS is real ass cinematic music, holy shit. Never heard of crywolf before, but I am positively blown away by this album and will be certainly checking out his other works. Let's talk about this first- the production on this album is phenomenal. I fucking love the beats here, all of the drum sounds are so unique to me, they're such an interesting texture and really out of the norm and the way they're panned to create an atmosphere is absolutely ... read more

Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith & Emile Mosseri - I Could Be Your Dog / I Could Be Your Moon
50

Oof. I feel bad for this ranking, but I stand by it. I'm not so familiar with Emile Mosseri, but I can tell his production style meshes really well with Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith's. That being said... this wasn't really anything special honestly. Most of these songs feel very aimless, like they exist just to be pretty and pleasant sounding without saying anything or doing anything interesting, and then they're already over. This would be great music for like, the background of a ... read more

Autechre - LP5
70

Finally making my way into the world of Autechre after years of being intimidated by their massive catalogue and having no idea where to start. This is pretty solid! Love Acroyear2, easily my fav here, but Rae, Under BOAC, and Arch Carrier are also favs. The last track is really confusing to me... overall pretty solid album though

Stalebrain - Aether
85

mini grimes. particularly the halfaxa/visions era. it's got a little bit more bouncy beats. it's really really solid. lechrysalis and spirit ojaia are my favs, although I love babybin, siklik hall, and orb a lot as well. overall this is just a really pleasant sounding album

c678924 - 678924
67

I find this to be exceedingly Solid. I don't find it particularly groundbreaking, I personally think it sort of blends into other glitch stuff, it kinda has the issue where a lot of the songs have interesting sounds but don't really go anywhere or are a bit too short, and the sound design isn't unique enough to really sustain my attention. divine:analogue is definitely a lot better and improves on all aspects that I'm listing as flaws here imo. Still fairly nice even if ... read more

c678924 - divine:analogue
92

GREAT album I love the heavy overwhelming fast synthesizers mixed with the crazy beats, the music on here goes hard as hell. "renunciare.a.mis:alas" has got to be my favourite track on here, this track uses synths in the most pretty way, almost sparkling, and then mixes that with the most heavy beat on the album, it's absolutely sick. Behind that is "luz-cristalina" which is a fantastic closer, there's something super longing about it, in a way, I mess with it a ... read more

full body 2 - infinity signature
94

I am seriously impressed by this, they manage to create such a vibe with the production, idk how I would describe it, these songs have a very vaporwave feel to them despite not technically being vaporwave, the pure sound and texture that blasts out mixed with the beats in the background just work so insanely well for me. I can understand the feeling that some people have who think it's too repetitive, but honestly I like the sound design enough that that isn't an issue for me at all. ... read more

Incredible compilation, truly. I love the weird genre mashings of drum n bass, glitch core, vaporwave, and rock, it works so well together. I love the absolute walls of sound that are presented on many of the songs, I love the atmosphere it creates, my favourite songs are the glitch heavy songs, sprite ocarina has absolutely messed up beats in the best way possible and the way it escalates while still maintaining a level of consistency in it's insanity is peak. walk apart is my favourite ... read more

Apparat - LP5
68

Honestly, this album is mostly unremarkable, but there are two major standouts in Dawan and Caronte. Everything else ranges from Fine to deeply unremarkable

Lydia Ainsworth - Right from Real
92

Gorgeous art pop album. Love the way that it mixes orchestral and electronics, alongside the odd experimentation, the vocals off of moonstone sound like something off a hyperpop record, so it's really interesting seeing it on a distinctly art pop album. Every song here is great except for Hologram which is ehhh. Really happy with this.

Purity Ring - purity ring
66

Hmm... it's not bad, but I don't find it as enticing as some of their other work. "the long night" is probably the best song here, followed by the last two. Everything else is like... nice, but not the most memorable to me. Still fairly pleasant.

Moderat - III
91

Absolutely a standout when it comes to IDM/electro pop fusion. The beats here are amazing and Apparat's singing has never been better- ditching all the guest vocalists they had on their debut album was definitely the right call for them. "Intruder" is my personal favourite, I think the beats here are really sick and the sort of foreboding vibe it creates is incredible, "Ghostmother" and "Animal Trails" are right behind, but I don't think there's a ... read more

Very solid IDM/Techno album, honestly has aged really well. I'm impressed this came out in 2009. Seamonkey is my personal fav, followed by Rusty Nails, No.22, and Les Grand Marches. Overall very solid though.

Mottron - Giants
79

mini sufjan stevens. specifically sufjans "The Ascension" era. This album is very pretty! The song "Lighter" is especially gorgeous, and is my favourite. I'm also a big fan of Sugarhearts, Walk Away, and Indecent. The second half of this album is a lil weak but not terrible. Overall a good listen

Tim Exile - Listening Tree
77

This album is great! Really odd but intense mix of industrial and glitch production with big booming vocals. The song Family Galaxy is INSANE.

Blanck Mass - In Ferneaux
60

The best of this album is the first 6 minutes which you can just listen to as the single "Starstuff" the rest is reminiscent of Blank Mass' debut album which is just sort of dark ambient meandering oddities

Verses GT - Verses GT
50

yeah this is a miss for me it's just really boring

Vylet Pony - Homeward
65

Far from her best work to me, but still has a number of tracks that sustain me! Monolith To A Halcyon and Overrun are my top 2 easily.

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"

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"
