TURQUOISEDEATH has this special ability to make a 50-minute album fly by. It's super versatile with some beautiful atmospheric elements and some that punch you square in the jaw. It's a different vibe to their previous album, but I still really dig it.
A bit less atmospheric than previous EPs. Pretty good as well. I just want them to release something a bit more substantial to truly blow me away, because they have the potential to do just that.
One of the most mixed bags I think I have ever heard. There's some truly interesting stuff here, and then there's stuff that sounds truly terrible. Overall, I'm glad I gave this a shot, and there are tracks that I will 100% listen to again.
Compositionally, the music of "Antisocialites" is fairly straightforward, but there's something incredibly infectious about it, be it the catchy melodies, or the DIY sound, it's a super fun listen with plenty of earworms.
As someone who is a big fan of Black Midi’s output, I was very much looking forward to “The New Sound”. What I wasn’t expecting was the best Black Midi-related output I have ever heard. Song after song, I just sat there stunned by what I was hearing. From the Bossa Nova vibes of “Terra”, to Shank’s vocal debut on “Motorbike”, to the absolutely breathtaking “The Magician”, Greep hasn’t left much room to grow, because to me, ... read more
Absolutely amazing. It's difficult to put into words the experience of "Absolute Elsewhere" as it pulls you from pillar to post, exposing the listener to very good prog death metal with smatterings of early progressive electronic (thanks to Tangerine Dream) and Floyd-esque psychedelic rock. This is a must-listen.
KKB's flavour of electropop is just so addictive. It's the music equivalent of jelly beans.
A very varied album with elements of Indie rock, noise pop, slacker rock, neo-psychedelia and much more. I complained that their EP last year wasn't quite substantive enough, but this LP is making me consider giving this band a deep dive. It's pretty great.
Wig Wam do exactly as the album promises and provide you with 42 minutes of non-stop 80s-tinged hard rock goodness. Taking inspiration from bands like Motley Crew, Def Leppard, Van Halen, Queen, and many more, it's a throwback album that doesn't fail to put a smile on your face.
There’s something utterly otherworldly about “Low” that boggles the mind. The first side, with its art rock instrumentation and drum sounds, feels anachronistic, as if it belongs in 1987 rather than its actual release year. The second side, however, is a beautiful exploration of ambient music, which makes Bowie a true pioneer of the genre. While “Low” may not be packed with pop hits, it has left a lasting impression that many of his “greatest hits” have ... read more
"Against the Fall of Night" is best described as a Jazz Fusion album from the 22nd century.
The duo has seamlessly integrated their signature elements with an incredible collaborative energy that permeates almost every track. The album showcases consistent excellence in bass and drum performances, while each of the nine tracks sparkles with unique individualism, making it a truly enchanting listen.
As with most of Sungazer’s work, these tracks are likely to shine even ... read more
Even when you don't take into account the cultural significance of one of metal's most influential albums, "Paranoid" is an extremely good album with songs that stand the test of time both musically and lyrically.
Simply put, "Darkness on the Edge of Town" is a really good rock album that's as accessible as it is good.
