CHVRCHES - How Not To Drown
90

Robert Smith is so perfect for this song

Electronic - Electronic
75

first listen 1/12/2025. less than the sum of its parts but still fairly enjoyable. favourite track: some distant memory

R.E.M. - Nightswimming
100

92 is criminal

The Naked and Famous - Passive Me, Aggressive You
84

Indie pop by way of 80s inspired bands like MGMT and LCD Soundsystem, and to a lesser extent Nine Inch Nails. A bit dated sounding but the songwriting is really strong and the production is fantastic. Also really love the almost shoegazey fuzzy guitar tone throughout and the dual vocals- these elements really make this album stand out from a lot of other pedestrian indie stuff from this time

The Naked and Famous - Young Blood
100

Coming of age movie music

The Naked and Famous - Punching in a Dream
95

13 years old and playing FIFA to this almost every day

R.E.M. - Murmur
78

first (full) listen 28/11/2025. pretty good for a debut album. impressive they already had their own sound (that they ended up experimenting with and developing and ultimately perfecting over the years)

Brian Eno - Another Green World
82

first listen 28/11/2025. will probably be even better outside in the sun and the trees

David Bowie - Earthling
84

first listen 26/11/2025. Pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this! Favourites: Little Wonder, Dead Man Walking, I'm Afraid of Americans

David Bowie - Little Wonder
95

Incredible, should have checked this out earlier

Cocteau Twins - Blue Bell Knoll
84

Title track is one of the best things they've ever done

Cocteau Twins - Treasure
88

Sits perfectly in-between their gothic beginnings and Heaven or Las Vegas' ethereality

Björk - Telegram
79

first listen 26/11/2025. A remix album worth listening to- especially love the darker, trip-hop tracks on this!

Björk - Jóga
100

eeeeeeemoosheeeenallll landscapes

first listen 25/11/2025. On paper I should really love this, but besides having one of my favourite songs of all time it is at best pleasant and worst forgettable
