i made a vow to myself that i wouldn’t listen to any of the three drake albums that just dropped (be so deadass rn, do i really want to hear a bunch of songs where drake whines and moans about the beef?). but i couldn’t escape hearing this project in particular, and this is an absolute nightmare. drake is no stranger to making club records, but maid of honour makes honestly nevermind sound like deadmau5. the lyrics, drake’s horrific autotune usage, and that godawful cha cha ... read more
i don’t think i’ve heard - or seen - anything quite like what angine de poitrine are doing right now. if those polka-dotted costumes weren’t enough, the musicianship is unbelievable, with some fantastic loop pedal usage, insanely cool riffs and bass lines (seriously, that guitar model is immaculate!). one could argue it gets repetitive at times, but that doesn’t matter for me - it’s bonkers, it’s groovy, it’s exciting, it’s wacky, it goes so many ... read more

this was my first time hearing a full basement album after liking some of their other output, and i might have to go back further into their discography because this is so peak. it’s a beautiful blend of slacker rock, grungegaze and emo, and an album of the year contender for me so far!
