Sascha Funke - Mango
89

The title track is the best piece of minimal techno you can hear.

After - After EP 2
92

Frutiger Aero-coded music is my favorite genre now.

Lush - Split
86

This album stripped back the “loveless” aspect of shoegaze a bit to add some punkish, poppish vocals and sound palettes.
As somebody who wasn’t impressed by “spooky” as much, it was a welcome change of pace and reminded me of Curve’s “Doppelgänger” with the vibrance and energy added to the base shoegaze sound.
I think more shoegaze albums could implement these punk-ish, aggressive elements to diverse from the dreamy, ethereal aspects we ... read more

Young Thug - UY SCUTI
38

First jailwashed artist I ever saw

glaive - Y'all
90

Most fun I’ve had with an album all year!

Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Perimenopop
68

Wait where’d she go?

大貫妙子 [Taeko Ōnuki] - Mignonne
89

4:00 A.M. is some of the best 5 minutes japanese music has to offer.

Big Thief - Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You
96

Simulation Swarm is one of my favorite songs of all time, so listening to the album has been a long time coming.
I saw the runtime of this album and was afraid that it would feel long and slow.
And well, it does feel slow.
Listening to this album literally made me feel like it slowed down time.
I have so many things going on in my life right now, my mind felt like thoughts were racing by at 100 miles per hour.
The first song immediately cleared up my mind, making a blank slate.
I had a calm ... read more

Kid Cudi - Free
79

Actually pretty good, did not expect that 😅

Dev Lemons - SURFACE TENSION
67

Ngl pretty disappointing, sounds like her style is getting stale for me

Freddie Gibbs - Alfredo 2
90

Damn this might actually be one of the best years for rap

Quadeca - Vanisher, Horizon Scraper
100

This isn’t just music, this is cinema. And I mean that even without the accompanying movie.

The previous project from Quadeca, the amazing mixtape [SCRAPYARD], was supposed to be a collage of throwaways from [I Didn’t Mean To Haunt You] and said project [Vanisher, Horizon Scraper]. Listening to songs like [Guide Dog] and [Texas Blue], I could see that he was leaning towards more art pop and acoustic material. That gave me a lot of excitement to see how [VHS] was going to sound, ... read more

TURQUOISEDEATH - Guardian
100

This is the single greatest experience I’ve had with D&B. I don’t think anything will top this yet

Kevin Abstract - Blush
79

The biggest takeaway from this project was that I really need a Kevin Abstract x Quadeca collab album.

Slick Rick - VICTORY
49

The tracks are so “slick” that they’re borderline effortless.

Lil Wayne - Tha Carter VI
24

“You’re playing Lil Wayne too loud!”

McKinley Dixon - Magic, Alive!
96

Simply the best jazz rap you’ll hear all year. It has the best jazz, and it has the best rap.
Not only is it a show of free-flowing beautiful instrumentals, it has Dixon filling any part of any song that could feel empty with impressive writing and storytelling, making for one of the most fulfilling listens I’ve had since a while.

Jane Remover - Revengeseekerz
93

Grainy crispy gazey hell.. I mean heaven

Saba & No I.D. - From the Private Collection of Saba and No I.D.
93

One of the few gripes I had with Few Good Things was the somewhat lackluster production but this album just blew that criteria out of the water, insanely jazzy and soulful beat selections from No I.D.
The bars are also amazing even for Saba standards.
Some of the 1 minute tracks did sound undercooked and could have benefited from more length tho

Steven Wilson - The Overview
65

Takes you on a ride through history, although effects may vary from chapter to chapter.
