Andy Stott is... frustrating to me. I absolutely love the dude's sound- his brand of chilling nocturnal electronic is totally my thing. And yet, he has no single project I've given above a 7. This guy SHOULD be dropping 8s and 9s but every record or ep just comes up a bit short. Somethings not quite working on a creative level and I can't figure out what it is. I still always look forward to what he does because I do enjoy a good bit of his material. Hopefully one day he'll release something ... read more
Great random recommendation from an IRL friend. Really sticky emo hooks all over this thing I wanna scream at the top of my lungs while crying probably lol.
Really great stuff here. I don't think adding metal into the mix necessarily makes this thing all that boundary pushing, a lot of it does sound like standard post rock. BUT- I love standard post rock lol and this record is just very consistent. I don't think any song on here is like a top 10 track of the year for me but every moment is compelling. This is the kind of record I just spin over and over again because it's perfect for when I'm working on something. Looking forward to trying their ... read more
This is a unique ride, I'm enjoying it. Dropping a basic 8 on it right now but my score on this thing has varied wildly in my head from like a strong 6 all the way up to a light 9. There's some detours I'm not as crazy about but the record as a whole I'm having a lot of fun with overall.

Hello, I love your album reviews.
My new EP, a very short one has just released. Will be grateful if you listen and review it. I need honest review, it could be harsh but I want to know what people thinks and how can I improve. There's is some Hindi Lyrics (very few) but the 90% of the album is English. Attaching the AOTY and Spotify link. Will be grateful forever if you respond. 🙏🙏

What is your favorite album of the year 1970, and could I get a few words on your thoughts on that album!?
{I’m going to be doing a series of lists where I go through AOTYs favorite albums of every year since 1970 and this is the first part of that ultimate goal!!}

Yo! I just dropped both my EP and Album/(LP) lists just a bit after the new year began! I plan to add a description for each entry on both lists at some point, but it’s essentially all there! Thanks in advance for considering!

Hell yeah. I saw your Spotify link and had it saved for later listening. I’ll give your lists a look for sure!

Let me know when/if you drop an AOTY list! I’d love to look through what albums you, and others, enjoyed the most this year. If you already posted one then I’ll give it a look ASAP.
I plan on dropping mine at the very end of the year (both EPOTY and (LP)AOTY lists) and would prefer any feedback on them!

So let’s say, hypothetically you were up at 3am on a rainy night and it’s really quiet. What album would you proceed to put on for your 3am sad session?
and yeah this is for a list

Hey I’m sorry if this is annoying but me and my friends attempted to make a few ambient songs and we just uploaded our first song to Soundcloud! We would really appreciate it if you could give it a listen! Sorry for self promotion but we’re really looking for feedback - it’s only 90 seconds long :)
