The making of 2008’s “trouble in dreams” was supposably frustrating for Destroyers front man and songwriter Dan Bejar, who has described this period of time as somewhat of a creative and intuitive slump for his songwriting, and production ideas. So, one would imagine that when Destroyer came through with one of their biggest critical hits, it would be called a “return to form”, but this is Destroyer, that very much did not happen, not only because Trouble in dreams ... read more

I'm not writing actual reviews anymore but I know a lot of yall will like this album soI'm coming back to say you all NEED to check this out. I can tell you this is trans jazzy Latin influenced Avant-prog post-punk which you could compare to bands like BCNR if you wanted to; but I'd just be telling you that to sell you this album in a sentence. There is plenty more to this album than just those buzz words.
Hello! I haven't written in a while, but this album only has 2 ratings and I see that as a personal failure. Listen to "A Gentleman's Gentleman" if you don't want to listen to the whole hour, trust me you won't regret it. Oxbow's noise rock styling is meticulous and spartan, but doesn't distract from the captivatingly pained charisma of Eugene Robinson, and the powerhouse that is Peter Brotzmann's saxophone. Peter Brotzmann, at the age of 78 is as electric and visceral as he's ever ... read more
LISTEN TO THIS. Awesome 23-minute long screamo LP from Malaysia! I want to live with it a little longer so I’m not writing a review here, but I really just want to recommend this to as many people as possible. If you are into screamo or punk, this is just as good as the Soul Glo record to me.
edit- Not an Indonesian band, my mistake

I am so confused; how did this not blow the fuck up? This is one of the best pop records I’ve ever heard, far and away my favorite J-pop record, it’s lush and replenishing, AND it has a cat on the cover, what more did we want in 2019?? Please listen to the 8th song (Hikari No Hou E), this will heal you.
The album covers a lot of musical territory, though it most notably takes from folk-pop and (while less so) sophisti-pop, but it’s far from restricted to those sensibilities. ... read more
LISTEN TO THIS, it’s 27 minutes long and I think most people will really like this.
This is basically a really lush, succinct, and jazzy score for the film “Un gioco per Eveline” or “A game for Eveline”. I wish I could comment on the film, but I can’t for the life of me find a way to watch it with English subtitles, but regardless this score rips. Much of this release is the same song, with the exact same melody, but it doesn’t feel repetitive at all. ... read more

not listening to a ton of new music now. Also I don't rate on my fl, which is why most of my ratings are positive cause I tend to like all the albums that I've let myself become familiar with enough to rate.
