Shortly before the scheduled concert in Central Park, Mitski announced that she would disappear from the music scene for an indefinite period of time. It was 2019. Her last album "Be The Cowboy" was a huge success, both artistic and commercial, which catapulted the artist to the heights of popularity and forever erased the label of an indie singer under her name and pseudonym. Fortunately - or ... read more
Will come back to properly review it, though I have to say, it's an absolute joy to listen to. Pop The Balloon, Tomorrow Is Closed and Do You Love me Yet? are some of the best songs NBT ever created.

I just love, love, love their work. Every song they've put out since "Dogrel" is at least great, very well executed, lyrically poignant, dark, intrinsically twisted... this album proves it all too and more.

Through "For The First Time" to "Ants From Up There" I ... read more

If you look at my favourite albums, or lists I solicitously put together you probably wouldn't consider me a rap albums enjoyer. Why would I care to listen to SIMBI then? I had no idea, until I came across a song called 'Introvert'. This song blew me away in the very first minute of listening and it's the first one on the record. Give it a listen and imagine an album with 19 songs equally as good or nearly as good as this one - that's what ... read more

A common saying says that you can't teach an old dog new tricks; with her 8th album, Lana Del Rey proves it's possible for artists creating and releasing for music longer than 10 years (which, frankly, is A LOT these days) put out records as successful as probably ever. After enjoyable but forgettable 'Chemtrails Over The Country Club' american singer-songwriter is back with a ... read more
