It's such a pretty album from beginning to end, the folk elements compliment the ambient elements really well. The singing was also great, it sounded emotionally heavy, while also sounding quite light and breezy. The album hasn't really aged a day since it released, it's a pretty simple combination of genres, but it works really well in creating something that sounds pretth timeless.

Not sure why the track ratings are all over the place, because every single song on here is great. Everything is so distorted, but it all comes together somehow, the vocals being mostly whispers, but randomly breaking out into screams was great. I think this album shows that I definitely need to listen to more WItch House, especially if they sound like this.

Nothing about this album sounds bad per se, but this album felt about twice as long as it actually was. Perhaps it's my inexperience with this style of music, but a lot of the music blended together and sounded pretty repetitive. The album was pretty fun to listen to at times though, the atmosphere here can be pretty infectious.

Thanks @sanamdeep for sending me your album!
I can already see a huge upgrade from teh previous album you sent me, the samples here are implemented way better, and I can see a big improvement in the beats themselves. I also appreciate the different styles of hip hop attempted here, and that they all sound really well made.

The production is decent, but this whole EP is nothing I haven't heard before.

I don't think this is my thing if I'm being honest. It definitely sounded foreboding at points, and the singing from both people was great, but I just never found myself all that interested in the music itself.

Production here is probably the best I've heard from him, the samples here are used so well, and they're given time to shine considering a lot of the songs here have long instrumental breaks. I think his album from this year has better songs, but this is probably his best showcase of his production talents. The writing here is also an upgrade from his BlackBolshevik mixtape, it feels a lot more intricate and politcally charged.

A pretty all over the place jazz album, not in a bad way either. You start off thinking that this album could be a complete mess, but after a while, everything starts to come together and you start to see things among the chaos, while also being pretty laid back.

The subtle electronic elements, while interesting, aren't implenented well enough to set this album apart from being a set of regular piano instrumentals.

Music that makes you feel good about yourself, and embracing any hardships that comes your way. The production here is top-notch, all of the samples are really tasteful and make the album feel pretty cozy. Blu's writing has always been pretty relateable, but here is probably where it shines the most. It's an album about turning 40, and how his perspective on life has changed since then, you really feel every word he says, and the features all do a really good job at conveying themes ... read more

David Tibet's voice works really well to create this suspensful atmosphere, and the pretty simple neofolk instrumentation makes this album seem almost timeless. Eveyrthing can take some time getting used to but it's also pretty effective at making you uneasy witout being too overzealous.

Kramer's reimagining of these old songs is definitely imaginitive, but leaves a lot to be desired. For example, his cover of "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" sounds like a complete mess, but "Cherry" sounds really beautiful, bringing it into the modern world, without sacrificing anything from the original. It's a really inconsistent album that tries to throw everything at the wall, but not much at all sticks. Think of it like a less interesting version of the Carpenters' ... read more

One of the best electronic albums I've heard in a minute! Some of the stuff here sounds straight from a late 90s sci-fi movie. Everything is just so well made, the beats here are really catchy, and the few ambient elements are incorperated perfectly. The album gets even better towards the end, where everything culminated on the last few songs to make something truly special. Really underrated listen.

This album combines gothic punk music with early, Mort Garson sounding electronic music, with very atmospheric singing to go along, with it all given an ambient kick. It's a stylistic combination that can feel a little jarring at first, but by the second half of the album, it starts to sound pretty natural. I wish the album sounded a little more cohesive from the start, but this is still a really overlooked album.

There's a certain charm from old-time albums like this to me, it manages to translate people's life experiences so well and so simply. Being recorded back in the 40s, it deals with very dark subject matter, discussing different aspects of their life during the Dust Bowl. It does feel like you get a better understanding of peoples day to day lives during this time. On top of that, the guitar playing is great, and Guthrie has a really soothing voice that lends itself well to this style ... read more

Really excited to see where this band go from here, they can still push and refine their sound further, but this is already an insane debut. Everything here is so well made, whenever the strings come in, it gives the EP a massive feeling of grandiosity, and the singing is incredibly intense and emotional. The instumental breakdowns (not sure what else to call them) reminds me of Daniel Blumberg's "Minus", with how it feels like the song quickly explodes into a flurry of noises, ... read more

I think his style of loud, experimental hip hop has been refined a lot since this album came out, but this is still an important album in modern rap music. The producion seems to switch between mellow and overwhelming, and while it can sometimes come of as disorganized, it's a myrical that as many of these songs sound as cohesive as they do. I've definitely heard better from him, but this is no doubt a respectable album.

The Noise Rock elements can clash a little with Moor Mother spoken word style of delivery, and the album felt at times clunky (for lack of a better term). That being said, when this album clicks, and everything comes together, this album is great. Moor Mother's anger on this album feels completely genuine, and perhaps that's aided by the very clunky, raw sound to the album. Even putting aside the vocals, this is a great noisy punk album, the guitars and drums sound very garage-y, and ... read more

Thank you again to @ajanim for sending me your song!
They're both such pretty songs, the guitar playing here across both tracks is consitent, but different enough so that they tell two different stories (If that makes sense). There's something so warm and cozy about this that's perfectly represented by the cover art, the feeling of knowing you're safe with this person, despite anything going on in the world.

Thanks @ajanim for sending me your song!
I really like how the slow ambient build-up transitions pretty abruptly into some very easy on the ears guitar playing. It's a song that takes it's time setting the atmosphere, with different elements slowly being introduced, until it reaches a noisy, glitchy crescendo. Pretty interesting and unique listen.
