I'm a real Sampledeliaphile I love it can't get enough Sampledelia.
I had literally zero expectations going in to this album; I don't even remember how I came across it. That being said, I left very satisfied. This particular production style really does it for me, and the guest features all managed to breathe some serious life into an already well-crafted project
As a pretty big fan of Ghais Guevara, I'm excited to see his first studio album. It definitely feels more complete as an album, including a series of sort of odd skit/interludes.
I still enjoyed the album a decent bit, but I feel like it's missing some of the political edge that makes Ghais so compelling as an artist. Don't get me wrong, there IS plenty of overtly political messaging, but it feels much less pointed and aggressive compared to his mixtapes. He's rapping ... read more
I don't get it. I see where people might find Kero Kero Bonito endearing, but for me that endearment really just translates to annoyance. The production is pretty decent and the singing is pretty decent and I don't hate fun but I just can't love "Bonito Generation." I liked it a decent bit more than Intro Bonito, but not enough to really see any reason to return
Didn't know any of the words that she was saying, and yet I understood PERFECTLY what she was singing about.
With just a guitar, her voice, and a bit of mother nature, Ichiko Aoba created a blissful and all-encompassing album. I first listened to this album on a late winter night, yet for that 58 minutes I was grazing a summery field on a warm midday. With so little, Aoba did so much
If I had a nickel every time a mainstream pop act became involved with Hindu spiritualism and then released a vastly different sounding and influential psychedelic album: I'd have TWO nickels which isn't a lot but it is weird that it happened twice
Dark, utterly transfixing Club tracks. Twigs embraces a very different feeling mindset on here as compared to Magdalene. "EUSEXUA" is still somewhat lonely, but it also feels far more empowering. Twigs is working to continuously embrace HER vision of beauty and sex, set to some truly incredible Dance production.
There's honestly just so many insane creative choices that all pay-off so well, from the pounding percussion in "Drums of Death" to the jarring and genuinely ... read more
Probably one of Earl's most fully realized projects. With such a short runtime, the level of variety and artistry is quite impressive. The lyrics are sparse, but all of them are so impactful.
Some of my favourite drumless production I've heard, but the mixing on the original upload by Earl is honestly quite bad. It's really quite which made it much harder to fully absorb. Made it a bit harder to fully enjoy
One of the more baffling "must hear" albums I've heard. The production is pulsing and in-your-face, but there's nothing all that exciting to this album. I liked Twikipedia's 2024 rock-centric album, but everything from the vocals to the beats just feel unimpressive
At first the lack of subtlety in the writing put off of. Despite agreeing wholeheartedly with every single message, It felt like it was a bit forced and coming from a place of preformism. Then, I thought. I looked into this band a bit who I was only passingly familiar with after hearing their newest album early last year.
I also thought: does it even MATTER? so what if the message is preachy and in-your-face. It's a great message and the music sounds pretty great so who cares
Fishmans impresses me time and time again. It's hard for them NOT to worm their way into my favourite bands when they put out so much quality music
The builds are incredible, and the payoffs are even better; what you can expect from the highest quality GY!BE music
The production and mixing is quite messy, but it adds to this open and airy feeling that compliments this music style well.
For the first half or so of the album, each song brings a unique and interesting blend of industrial synth tones, but towards the end, the inspiration runs sort of dry and turns to a series of more droning and monotonous tracks
Not as polished or insanely packed with energy as Wallsocket, but still VERY decent for an earlier underscores Glitch Pop project. I hesitate to call it full on "Hyperpop" though, because I'm not sure that it really fits that description
Consistently sparkling and captivating. Pretty album cover because the vibe is absolutely "floating through a bright ocean floor"
Explores a some more Lo-Fi and Jazz elements when compared to their early Dummy album. I honestly like this self-titled album a bit more for that, and it's dedication some creating some insane Trip Hop beats
Production is absolutely flawless, and the lyrics aren't far behind. It feels unoriginal to center my review around Mac's passing, but still: I'm quite happy that his talent is still able to come through in music that's finally able to see the light of day
Fiona is physically incapable of making a bad album. as early as her debut album, her songwriting skills are just as sharp
I can totally see the intended outcome and some of the songs definitely work but the ones that don't...OOOoooo.....
