CRANE MUSIK!!!! Goes so fkn hard. Big fan of the vocals, his lyrics are always so visceral
PRS at his absolute best, never fails to put me in a fantastic mood. It’s seriously insane to me how many memorable moments and motifs he manages to squeeze into three and a half minutes here, highlights for me include the brief drum solo at 1:39 and the bass reprising the A melody at 2:21. I’d sell my soul to see this song performed by a live band someday
Sorry Swans but I think GY!BE beat you to the punch as the honorary "post-rock band that reframed my perception of music as a teenager"
This is so disorienting but in like the best way possible. The entire time I was listening I just sat there bobbing my head to whatever beat I could hold onto in silent bewilderment. I know the “post-“ term gets thrown around a lot these days but this is legit like post-Jersey club. Is this all improvised? Because if so then it’s absolutely unbelievable
I knew before listening that this is essentially just Rei Harakami but with vocals, and I already love Harakami so I was bound to love this too. Apparently Akiko Yano is kind of a big deal in Japan, she’s sang alongside a bunch of artists and has been compared to the likes of Kate Bush.

Holy shit the Music sample. Holy shit the Jelly sample. I’m in heaven
More scattershot than Bart simpson bouncing but still pretty nice overall. The Cherry-Colored Funk interpolation on Where’s Your Comfort is pretty geniu
Of course 13 Angels is absolutely iconic but the rest of the record suffers from being nowhere near as transcendent
One of the best things about Aphex Twin is that as long as you dig deep enough you just never run out of new shit to listen to, man is just a music-making machine. Anyways the percussion work on this is pretty nuts for being recorded in 1995. I’ve heard Arched Maid Via RDJ before and it obviously absolutely slaps, the way he basically turns an ordinary synth into a wailing electric guitar is so badass. Laughable Butane Bob is honestly pretty sick too; it’s only a little over 3 ... read more
Apparently pilotredsun took inspiration from the voice on Fear for his hamburger helper video which is kinda cool
Fuck you Instagram, I was considering deleting you for what a cesspit you’ve become but it’s only because of you that I’ve discovered what an absolute banger Assumptions is
