it's almost 11pm as i'm writing this and i'm supposed to be up at 6am tomorrow. but fuck, this mixtape genuienly means the world to me and it would be a waste of an opportunity to not use this review as a medium to talk EXTENSIVELY about it.
in the most general sense, this mixtape attempts to capture a fleeting moment in time: my psyche as a senior student in public high school. the cover is composed of people i thought would be lifelong friends, though some recent events have ... read more
this single, while definitely weaker than "AUTISTIC CYBORG", is definitely still REALLY finely produced with a lot of texture and clear, intricate detail. it feels like it would work better in the context of a record though, like an interlude between two other tracks, but it does sound very good on its own still, and you can tell that there's a LOT of layers to the production
woah! this actually really blew me away! the production quality is insane here, and the whole mix feels compressed in a good way: the abrasiveness very much helps the whole vibe and it works to add to the intensity. i also loved the progression of the track, since it was very repetitive in the same way a lot of charli xcx songs are (keeping a few constant elements while everything around it changes).
i don't have any real critiques i could give other than i think there's kind of a ... read more
this was the first song i ever wrote! and you could say i composed this while thinking of the very feeling that writing music for the first time brought me: it was scary, foreign, like i was learning to speak another language. and yet, it became part of me: the exploration became my identity, and i decided to embrace it and dive deeper into the ocean of ideas.
that's what the title is a metaphor for: a purple sea is strange and yet a sailor will valiantly explore it anyway, hungry to ... read more
all the girls on the girl trip took shit on the mother toilet at the same time, causing a healing blockage that left the entirety of gag city without yass-able water
on a more serious note, zara and her collaborators did NOT come to play on this remix album. whether the remixes actually work or not doesn't matter: all the remixes pull their own weight and feel like a natural evolution of the identity and sonic palette developed throughout the original midnight sun.
the two prime examples ... read more
shaved balls is so cunt like idkk i just feel like slayyyter!
aside from the stellar run of singles, slayyyter manages to deliver certified HITS among almost every style of electropop you could think of, like her valid crystal castles tea on GAS STATION or her cunty nine inch nails impression on $T. LOSER
this carefree, trashy energy that runs throughout the album feels like a culmination of recent pop music trends, like BRAT, and it's definitely a response to a greater cultural shift. ... read more
SLAYYYTER MAMA MY PUSSY IS QUAKING FOR YOU YOU'RE GONNA CAUSE A CUNTVALACHE IN THE HERMALAYAS WITH THIS ONE HOLY SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Just found out this exists and i wasn't included. Killing myself tomorrow
this might actually be the greatest thing ive ever made
(more serious music coming soon, i promise! but for now, enjoy this shitpost.)
definitely one of the best "niche/underground" songs i've found through tiktok. chilean producers continue to be criminally underrated!
at first, when i heard the little piano melody intro, i was intrigued but not convinced: but as the track moved along, and the melody shifted with the breakbeat getting progressively more distorted, the more into it i got. the progression on this track goes bonkers hard, mixing elements of hardstyle with the already established dnb, in a ... read more
this record finally gave zara larsson the one thing she was missing: an identity.
throughout the album, you can see that she's finally not playing it safe: almost every song has some sort of switch-up or element that separates it from just standard top 40 radio pop, without sacrificing any of the catchiness that comes with this type of glossy, mainstream music.
the embrace of bubblegum bass, dnb, and other electronic elements really give this album a solid identity, which is only backed ... read more

this song is a mix of the grittiness and sluttiness of hard techno and the spectral ambience of dark cabaret. i got the idea for this track after a guy i was seeing said he wanted to take me to an abandoned theater (presumably to suck his dick). we never went, but the idea stuck around in my head... that, and my class did a little halloween decorating for a school event which went great. so i had these concepts in mind: the ... read more
this is some hot garbage 💀 can't believe this got front page
so while i was uploading this, i learnt that "vanished" by crystal castles is actually a remix of "sex city" by the indie rock band van she... so for legal purposes, this is a cover of THAT song because i'd rather go to jail than credit that abusive man as a songwriter lmao
hopefully in the future i'm able to write some original songs in this style ^^ glad y'all seemed to like this !!
REVIEWING OOMF MUSIC PT.1 !!!!!
my main takeaway from this album is that valtheskunk is an artist with a lot of ambitions that doesn't yet have the production skills to translate them into music. obviously, there's a lot of inspiration taken from a record like "fossora", but i do feel like the beats here almost get at something really unique and cool- it's just that the production feels a little underbaked, in a way that doesn't let it live up to its full ... read more
,my debut single: this song is about the bittersweetness of growing up, of knowing you will achieve so much more after high-school and being so happy to move on, and yet knowing that things will never be the same.
listen here on bandcamp! will release Soon™ on streaming services

this literally being the best cover of all time
In the third era of her career and her second full length album, Lady Gaga decided to make a record dedicated to the art of self expression, delving deep into her political stances, religion, and life as a woman. It's incredibly diverse in both themes and sound, but Gaga's incredible and yet often abstract and puzzling style of lyrical writing manages to tie it all together.
This record seems to somehow explore almost every facet of pop imaginable: there's the electro-industrial ... read more
novelty factor aside, this is a great song. it functions as the turning point in the story of poppy (the character) and the musical career of moriah.
in the trilogy of albums "poppy.computer", "am i a girl?" and "i disagree", we see poppy slowly gain awareness of her state, learning to question her human creators and start to disdain them. this song functions as a point where she's fully aware of the evils of humanity, and yet her perfect-popstar programming ... read more
