tl;dr:

i didn't mean to haunt you is an album to listen to while in a unfamiliar space between the life you had and the death that will catch up to you. i first discovered quadeca through this album in a review by a guy named Jah in early 2023, and my life was never the same. the album is a chilling collection of quadecas journey to death after suicide, not ready to let go of his past life but getting ever so consumed by the static that is true death. the themes in the album make up half ... read more

beatopia is an album to listen to in a wooden bedroom while dreaming about laying down in an open field. i knew i loved this album but it still surprised me how much i did!!! i learned of beabadoobee through a ken carson edit that used the talk music video (lmfao), and ever since ive loved her music! beatopia really crates an atmosphere that i feel is beas fantasy world, and she talks about her experiences in a way thats really fun and sometimes somber. its what i think is a great collection of ... read more

everything so far is an album to listen to in a sunny grass field during a light drizzle. its has a great garage band feel with both exciting and heartbreaking vocal deliveries by evan hall!! im so glad i decided to listen to the whole album after need 2 popped off, because there are some insanely good tracks. my favorite part is the transition between size of the moon and need 2, as for an album thats basically a mixtape, transtions normally arent present, and i think it made listening to the ... read more

from me to you is an album to listen to when you're in the rockies wanting to drown yourself in the snow. the albums theme of a relationship being a mountain is done perfectly (from the first track name!). you can never know how tall the summit is, but how far are you willing to climb? how far can you climb before its too late? is it worth staying or are you meant to never make it alive? if scrapyard is his flower boy, this is his cherry bomb. you can tell hes looking for HIS sound, ... read more

the rise and fall of a midwest princess is an album to listen to after realizing you've never been loved the right way before and want to be okay with being yourself. after hearing good luck babe everywhere i went i wrote chappell off as just another one hit wonder, but WOW was i wrong. it almost feels like a mixtape with how the songs kind of switch feels so sharply, but i love it!! you can split the album into songs you can sing and dance to and songs you can sing and cry to very easily. ... read more

kenopsia is an album to listen to while wanting to shut the world out and forget everything. this album was the first introduction i had to anything (shoegaze?) in late 2022, and was one of the few albums that graduated my music taste from just rap to so much more. stick is probably my go to when i need to drown out my thoughts, as the instrumental is so strong and kmoes performance is spectacular. although i believe the album is much stronger in its second half, the project as a whole is a ... read more

scrapyard is an album to listen to while doing anything. literally anything. this is the first rollout i was apart of as a quadeca fan, and wow did this not disappoint. its a mixtape riddled with nothing but perfection. each song has its own world and theres a song on this album for literally anything. wanna sing? a la carte. wanna rap? guess who. wanna sob your eyes out? pick your poison. this is the biggest milestone for quadecas career as it truly is a representation of how far hes come as ... read more

sour is an album to listen to while sitting on a bench in a beautiful park while your ice cream melts in your hand. i first listened to olivia when "vampire" released, and going to this after listening to guts for the first time was an interesting experience, but pleasantly surprising! i think although yeah you can guess the themes of heartbreak and betrayal that fills the album, this is like a teenage magnum opus, you can hear the pain in her voice in half of the songs and the rage ... read more

this album is definitely one to listen to while sitting along a windy beach at night. i'm normally not a person for slow songs, but this album definitely changed that. the intrumentals are all almost hauntingly ambient, and it makes the whole album one big experience and one worth listening to all the way through. the albums easily shines brightest in it's chorus', with the instruments swelling and starting to dance with the vocals each time. this was my introduction to CAS, and ... read more

this is easily one of my favorite albums as of the past year or two. morning forever is a name ive never heard before scouring spotify for low-listener artists, and this album was one of the most surprising experiences i've come across in music. every track has a distant ambiance to it, with a mix of calm and almost piercing guitar throughout! the album loops with the starting and concluding tracks being instrumentals, and the first track transitioning into the second. this is an album you ... read more
