Jane Remover's music has flown under my radar until very recently with the release of "Revengeseekerz" (an album that I plan on reviewing shortly). However, based on my research, Jane is best known for pioneering Dariacore, a sub-genre of hyperpop, under the pseudonym of leroy with an album of the same name. Having been recommended some songs under the genre in my Spotify, I finally decided to give the album that kicked it off a listen.

Currently writing a very extensive review for this record, but as it stands, this is my album of the year.
FAVORITE TRACKS: NO QUESTIONS ASKED, WAGING WAR, RUIN MY LIFE, GODSTAINED, AT A TIME LIKE THIS, MONDAY, DANCING WITHOUT MOVING, THAT'S WHY, I DREAM ABOUT SINKING, THE GREAT BAKUNAWA, FORGONE, CASPER

Is it bad that I genuinely have no words for how amazing this record is?
FAVORITE TRACKS: Professional Vengeance, Star people, Experimental Skin, Dancing with your eyes closed, Psychoboost, Dreamflasher

Select tracks like "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites", "First of the Year (Equinox)", and "Bangarang" were constantly in my rotation. I even made my family listen to these brostep tracks when we gathered to play board games ... read more
RADIOHEAD DISCOGRAPHY DEEP DIVE #3
When I did this deep dive, I initially wanted to hold off on what many Radiohead fans considered their best records to be until the very end of my deep dive. This was mainly because I didn't want my expectations to be so heightened that I became disappointed with the rest of their work. That obviously didn't last very long as I have now listened to what many fans consider to be the best album in Radiohead's discography, "OK ... read more
