The short but charming Fête de la Vanille may be considered one of the best Digicore projects of all time, but the length leaves a lot to be desired.

Just head-banged for 42 minutes. Feeling good.
WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA has been an album I’ve been needing to get to since it released back in March. But, I went on another hiatus because I got bored of listening to new music. And I’ve only just decided to listen to it. After hearing the 2 singles, BEAT UP CHANEL$ and CRANK my interest on this type of music was peaked. The addictive but at the same time almost experimental production was jaw dropping.
And nothing’s changed ... read more
While sounding the exact same production wise as the majority of his albums, Peggy provides some nice “Experimental” tunes.
JPEGMAFIA, an artist that is featured on one of my favourite albums from 2023, Scaring The Hoes, has released his 6th Solo album, Experimental Rap. Combining Rap, Metal and gritty vocals like the majority of his recent albums. Experimental Rap is a majority of political lyrics and gritty instrumentals to back them.
The intro, 投影の芸術, is a great ... read more
While refusing the grandiose crescendos of their later albums, Godspeed debut under the post-rock sound they’ve established provides a great social commentary and wonderful Ambient soundscapes.
Not for the 73,770 Palestinians your country has killed. Glad JJ won over this.
A sweet lil Art Rock EP.
I’ve basically only seen this person self promoting on TikTok, saying their music is reminiscent of BCNR, Cameron Winter, and my favourite band and album OAT, Racing Mount Pleasant. And I disagree. While maintaining the vulnerability of said albums. The grandiose song structure and wonderful production can be seen here, just not enough to be reminiscent. And there’s no saxophone, so that’s a minus.
My least favourite track, Jasper and the Birds, does ... read more
You all say this is too loud, I think it’s too quiet.
LEROY! LEROY! LEROY! After finding out Jane’s was dropping under Leroy for the first time in 3 years I was ecstatic. Dariacore is one of my favourite genres and it being pioneered by one of my favourite artists makes me happy. But did Jane disappoint on status update music?… compared to the Dariacore series. Yes, unfortunately. I absolutely loved Dariacore 2 and 3 from front to back, but on SUM, there’s some parts ... read more
No mentions of Wallsockets… or horseshoes. Unsatisfactory.
After my absolute love for U in March, Wallsocket has been under my radar ever since. A Pop-Punky 55 minute wonder filled with Indietronica and Electropop influences like U. The songs follow an immaculate concept. My favourite being Cops and robbers. Just a mix of wonderfully indie and electronic vibes with an amazing concept. A robber committing bank fraud and trying to outrun the cops. It’s simple but immaculately ... read more
While being one of my favourite games of all time after 100% it, it’s also appears the soundtrack also is phenomenal.
I never knew I wanted GY!BE but with even more strings!
Godspeed is one of the most influential bands, atleast from the underground scene. Their wonderful but melodramatic performances and buildups will forever taint the Underground as being a core aspect of Post-Rock. And yet, Yndi Halda captures the same melancholy but with strings for days. Like an English version of Godspeed.
There more I listen to this genre I think, “there is no bad Post-Rock”… except maybe Swans but ... read more
Look at what they did together!
Black Country, New Road’s only live album comes after the unfortunate departure of Isaac Wood and shows the band experimenting with their new main vocalist, Tyler Hyde. In which, their voice is absolutely gorgeous. I come from this album from the release of Forever Howlong expecting something that couldn’t replicate that emotional depth Wood provided… I was proved incredibly wrong.
Up Song, no one can rightfully describe this song. It’s ... read more
Please stop planning you have an album to record.
Back in February, I reviewed an album from British band The Orchestra (For Now) called Plan 75. It was under my radar for months. Another BCNR chamber-popesque album from the British. What could go wrong?… well, nothing. Plan 75 was amazing executed while maintaining a certain quality and different to BCNR. And, the 76th Plan is no different.
Here on the EP, it’s more focused on less grandiose song structures and more on ... read more
