Racing Mount Pleasant's self-titled album is a really awesome, relaxing and moving art rock project.
I'm in love with the use of saxophone here (and violin as well). This record might have indeed some of the greatest first seconds I've ever experienced, it connects to me instantly everytime.
Lyrically it is really good, I always enjoy the choice of using metaphors, however I didn't manage to perceive that much the story told here (clearly not as well as I did in Twin ... read more

𝐀𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 starts all this off, setting the main idea of despair: first ... read more
I really really wanted to try a shoegaze album in the latest weeks and my eyes landed on 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐯𝐥𝐚𝐤𝐢 by the british band 𝐒𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞. I'm glad I chose to start with this because I completely fell in love with it.
The incessant nostalgic and emotional vibes this project wants to give are so pronounced through the use of deep and meaningful lyrics over well-crafted and powerful instrumentals.
The distorted vocals by Neil and Rachel are so damn ... read more
