its late at night and I'm bleary and the tv's still on kind of music
unironically the only musical act to date—not that I've listened to a lot of music...—that reminds me of The Microphones/Mount Eerie, in a VERY good way: emphasis on atmosphere to further communicate ideas, exploration of the lengths you can go with sound and also no sound from which you hear with your set of ears, epic and long-winded (/pos) songs, the audacity to expose that feeling of a certain kind of rawness and weirdness of being in this world. my god I love music
music that lets me know that contemplating your life and shaking your ass are not activities that are mutually exclusive
hmm jadi dengerin ini lagi karena pepen habis dengar ulang (?) dan katanya suka hm kenapa dia ga suka dari dulu pas gw kasih lagu ya!! gw tau jessica pratt dari offbeatorbit's mention of her (as I did a bunch of other artists so thanks for that) dan I've mostly been in love dengan album dia yang On Your Own Love Again. I probably need more than two hands untuk ngitung seberapa kali gw muter album itu with how much it's been a mainstay dalam rotasi pemutaran album gw. walau ga all ... read more
poster album for teenage angst, hard to believe how good this is and how enjoyable it is to listen to compared to his recent works. dengan durasi yang sebagian besar singkat, the guitar-dominated, easygoing and gliding feel of the instrumentals, catchy melodies complimented with the airy vocals and angsty lyrics, not to mention the overall theme of the album (which I can sense! which I like to find, ga kaya album latestnya!): coming-of-age related loss, longing, memories, love, and all else ... read more
denger ini sama pepen di kurokoffee, aku gak punya vokab buat ini karena bukan merupakan genre yang aku pahami dan biasa dengerin. I enjoyed it!
album nano-nano yang terpatri di ingatan gw dan bisa gw recall sebagian besar melodinya pas dengerin lagi tadi di mobil pulang dari rumah sodara walau udah belasan taun ga dengerin karena sekitar taun 2011-2012 atau sekitarnya adek gw yg masih toddler OBSESSED banget sama album ini dan minta diputer-puter terus-menerus apalagi pas kita roadtrip pada saat itu yang tentunya di mobil terus jadi sampe keburn ini di kepala gw
apparently I don't have an original thought: this album reminds me too much of a bunch of other bands, even towards specific songs, not sure if that's a good thing or not. I'm leaning towards not
didn't emotionally resonate with this and definitely not among my favorites in PWE's body of work, I don't know why. as bad as I feel saying this maybe it's the addition of julie doiron? if you were to ask me, for the songs that they reprised here, which versions do I prefer among all the other versions, I wouldn't say it's the one from this album for any of it
while it's a bit monotonous, when I listen to this album I think of fairy lights and not wanting to go home, going through a night that I never want to end
justin vernon's quest to find meaning and answers as a 40-something year old man is deeply relatable to me, a 22 year old college student... on some parts I stopped and thought to myself "damn! is he reading my mind?" because the things that he tries to deal with in this record happens to also be mine. the narrative he weaved is much clearer and comprehensible. unfortunately I found some of it too preachy for my own tastes. sonically its brighter, more upbeat, and ... read more
it gets even better everytime I listen to it. there's always something new to take notice of—how karly hartzman's voice works so well in each and every song, constantly transforming and not staying in one place, the distorted bass, the bitterness and the sweetness of the melody, the abrupt change of direction in some songs and how it takes you to unexpected places, and on and on and on
listened to this di transjakarta sebelum ketemuan sama chitara (19/01). I love it! a head-bobbing, upbeat, and fun album to listen to. wajar, considering the genre lol. penuh dengan karakter, I feel like the sound, the theme lies between worlds *check notes* somehow gw jelasinnya 2000s tp jg kontemporer, digital but also analog?! it conveys what a mad age we're in right now. whatever that means. gw belom perhatiin liriknya but it seems fun to go through. also the (mostly) seamless ... read more
Phoebe Bridgers came to me in a dream this early in the year and said "hey. I think you might find a newfound appreciation if you try to listen my album again. yknow, maybe even deeply relate to a song or two." and thank fuck isn't she right, isn't she right.
I put off listening to this album for so long, padahal gw udah aware sama album ini (dan BCNR) sejak rame pas rilisnya tahun 2022. barulah setelah Iman muterin Nancy Tries to Take the Night pas jemput gw di Jakarta, April 2025 lalu, that I'd been slowly turned into a goner. what a DELIGHT! musikalitas dan lirisisme fantastik yang membangunkan imaji-imaji vivid nan, kerapnya, gut-wrenching, dan I don't know if this is the right word or not, euphoric
