The sound I've been dying to search for for the last 1-2 years now, and I finally found it. They sound more like the Cardigans I guess, but this album has that right edge of sound I've always preferred for quite some time now. I wish they made a whole song out of March Of the Cinnamons though, such a nice tune

++I Used to Be Your Loneliness, Maybe In The Next Life
+Did You Think I Would Ever Let Go?, Angel Eyes

Essential 4AD Listen

++Lollita
+Sado-Masochism Is a Must

I was unaware of your game

++The Secret of Streaming Blood
+To Withhold the Day, In Coldest Embrace, Yönsilmä, FIre Burns the Horizon

At first, it sounded okay but overtime as I listened to this specific song it became worn out pretty quickly. It's listenable for sure, but neither is it bad. It's filler.

Can you hear the soul in their works? It comes out at NPC on this EP. All of the album is Instrumental and the production is fantastic for an obscure band.

+++NPC
++‘I’ was trash, ’I’ was stolen (試圖偷偷扔掉的垃圾）

Spacey.

Taiwanese Band I found on COMPLETE ACCIDENT back in 2023. For the most part they have been relatively obscure even within their own region. I thought it was about time for me to finally put them on AOTY for others to find their work. Personally, I enjoy it. Especially track 2.

+++蓮

They cooked, that's all
