Jockstrap - I Love You Jennifer B
72

i really REALLY want to love this but this album feels like i'm being strung out on all fours but it's to FORCE me to get that massage to REALLY get those knots outta my back, like it's uncomfy but it will all be better in the end okay.

for real this feels very disjointed for all the wrong reasons and then all of a sudden Concrete Over Water feels very disjointed for all the RIGHT reasons and now i'm just confused !! like what is this last song and why is it so good but Lancaster Court feels ... read more

Black Country, New Road - For the first time
98

okay this messed me up i loved this so much.

everything is at eleven the whole time but the manner in which it's at eleven is so wild. even the softer moments of buildup and scarceness are at a eleven. this album does so so many things right, from the raw instrumentation, the passionate vocals, the lyrics that make me wanna DIE i mean COME ON DUDE.

i keep listening to this album at least once every couple of days what do you want me to do.

a genuine treasure.

Cassandra Jenkins - An Overview On Phenomenal Nature
85

i've listened to this about ten times and i can't decide if i'm conflicted or not.

to begin, the shorter structure of the whole album makes it's entirety feel a touch underdeveloped. half-baked at some points. there's two songs in particular where when the energy fizzles out, it takes an INCREDIBLE nosedive. and i'm just left incredibly bored...

...until the song afterward comes in and it's some of the most calming and stunning indie singer-songwriter stuff i've heard since 2018? the hypnotic ... read more

On Deft's review of Quadeca - I Didn't Mean to Haunt You
"major props to you for really delving into the how and why and not sacrificing your integrity. i also, like many, respectfully disagree with this take, but it does bring up wonderful opportunities for discussion. i don’t believe that wearing influences on your sleeve or appealing to a certain crowd means the core musical experience is bad. this is something the mainstream has done far longer than Quadeca has. i can, however, understand why that would be frustrating, and almost exploitative. is that where this comes from?"
