파란노을 [Parannoul] - To See the Next Part of the Dream
95
This felt like the moment before you finally die. Every memory I had, bad or good, came full circle as I listened to this fantastic album. I've always thought shoegaze is the most powerful genre at least for me because it can both embody celestial and terrestrial spaces. I have been recently bottling up emotions and this was a release for me. Thank you so much Parannoul for this gift of life. Until my death shall come.

Anna B Savage - in|FLUX
90
Anna B Savage furthermore proves that she is one of the best new singer-songwriters right now with her sophomore release. In|Flux is an amalgamation of her multi-faceted conscious emotions.

That it only makes you appreciate yourself more rather than degrade.
Caroline Polachek - Desire, I Want To Turn Into You

No words are worthy to even perfectly describe how I continue to be in awe of the magical genius that is Caroline Polachek.
Kelela - Raven

6 years felt both sudden and prolonged to wait for new music from such a beloved artist of mine. Kelela has took her time to deliver us yet another heartbeat-skipping, sweat-profusing record.

She welcomes us into this liquid realm and allows us to permeate into our already free selves. Every track represents that permeation by its seamless transition ... read more
Briana Marela - You Are Wave
85
I'm so mad I missed this release last year. Briana Marela is an artist I randomly discovered like years ago and I just now found out she has a new album. But it's the fact that this is such an experimental piece??? I was living for this art pop, avant-garde record and completely sounds visceral and also robotic in its own way. I'm sad this has been slept on by everyone.
Searows - Guard Dog
75
I will always gravitate towards this kind of sound but what prevented me from fully enjoying it was that I could not help but think this was too derivative of Phoebe Bridgers.

Hello orkont. Why does that name sound so familar? Anyway, I'm asking all of my followers if they want to join the CCTV notification squad. By joining, I'll send you a link to my newest review when it comes out. Because I highly doubt you can find my new stuff when you follow 200+ people. Youll also get notifications when I made a list! If that sounds cool, just say something along the lines of "that sounds epic and based, I'm in!" If not, you can ignore
