Thank you so much for 100 followers. It's been a long time coming but we hit a milestone on this silly website so I'm celebrating by returning to an album that has truly hurt my soul.
It's midnight, I just dropped my friend off at the train to head home, it's dark and I'm playing Krunker.io, the perfect setting for one of the most distressingly dreary albums I have ever heard in my entire life. When the topic of sad music is brought up, it's mostly accompanied with down-trodden, minor key, ... read more
“Hard-core,” “hard rock,” “Indie rock” are all words to describe Baltimore's latest rock craze Turnstile. With a career spanning over a decade, Turnstile’s biggest boom came with GLOW ON, a record whose integration of dreamier, poppy elements into the hardcore formula garnered them a huge audience but also some annoying detractors. Gatekeepers are very much a necessary part of the music ecosystem but I think the critiques are a little too ... read more
This decade continues to provide cultural surprises as we reach its halfway mark and one of the most interesting aspects of that in my opinion comes from how traditional American values have been redressed in the modern era. Country music’s explosion in the 2020s has birthed a culture of traditionalism that has been met with a very intense counter culture of Queer, club, dance music. Both of these camps have been around for decades but it’s very easy to see where they lie and how ... read more
I think it's time to induct a GOAT album from a GOAT band into the GOAT tier of albums.
About half a decade into their career of recorded, released music, King Gizzard push the envelope when it comes to concepts, after playing around with immense song lengths, windy interconnected tracks and going into acoustic territories, Nonagon Infinity became the suite to end all suites. Although this record is a perfect introduction to how good the band can get, it's a record that overshadows ... read more
Living in the digital age it is oddly difficult to find music that is not only genuinely from a small artist but from one that is actually good. If you have scrolled through instagram and TikTok you will be assaulted by wannabe influencer artists presenting you with some of the worst earworms humanly possible. However, there is a solution, and that is for you to listen to my take right here.
Microbes, Mostly is a band that is dominating the local scene where I live and I feel their music is a ... read more
This is less of a review and more of a rant due to something I noticed with this artist. Sign Crushes Motorist goes by several names and makes a lot of sad, tik-tok slowcore audios that I feel rip off the sound and aesthetics of Duster in such a blatant way that I actually got very angry listening to loser monologue and just shut off the album. I'm not one to usually be a purist with artists copying others, very often it's a close inspiration but we have one artist who goes by three ... read more
