This is a personal favorite of mine, and I might be entirely biased, but honestly, I think Census Designated deserves so much more love. This album is both instrumentally and lyrically so impressive, and I think the stories it tells are so impactful and important to be aware of. One of the main themes on this album is the music industry’s exploitation of young talent, such as Jane. I think all of the songs can tie into this theme, but some definitely do more than others, such as the title ... read more
One of the albums of all time in my eyes. I also really like the color green, and stripes, and zebras.
This is the first fakemink project I’ve listened to fully, and honestly? It didn’t disappoint. I don’t think it’s life changing by any means, but it’s not bad at all. I actually really enjoyed his voice on these tracks and the eerie off putting soundscape he was trying to create trapped me in. Songs like Tell Me What You’re Missing, are in my tops of the month, with May being a pretty mediocre time for music, Terrified paved a much more positive light on May ... read more
Oh my fucking god. Jane is genuinely on another fucking level and I can confidently say no one in the underground is moving like them. This album is cohesive perfectness, there’s not one track on here that’s weaker than the other. This isn’t even glaze either it’s true, electronic music has never sounded this good. status update music samples any iconic music you could possibly imagine, including my queen April Grey Harper aka underscores. This is my 2nd favorite project ... read more
matt proxy’s teenage genius 3 is an orchestra of sounds. Beautifully curated, teenage genius 3 uses samples that range from religion to a rant of life itself. The EP is cut into three parts, each of them having their own story. The first part is pretty simple, with a standard hip-hop drum beat underneath some cool vocal parts. And then, pure abstraction. It becomes very loud, so loud that at some point I thought my headphones had been damaged due to the glitchy sound effects and dog ... read more
Quadeca, Quadeca, Quadeca. He’s genuinely on such an amazing run, and I think it all stemmed from this album. This record has one of my favorite concepts of all time. I Didn’t Mean to Haunt You is about a ghost watching his loved ones navigate their lives after the man’s suicide. It deals with grief, regret, and the feeling of helplessness. The tracks on this are genuinely generational and it perfectly encapsulates the grief on both sides, the dead and the living. I love ... read more
