This album was the first WOHO release I enjoyed. When I was 17, I actually enjoyed a good deal of this album. I enjoyed the very introspective and depressive material on here... which would further get more potent on albums like "Withering".
I'm writing this chiefly because the 718 version of "Hands" is my favorite WOHO song from them to date. I have songs for every boy or girl I have ever loved, besides giving them nicknames that I more or less still remember or abandoned. ... read more
This is def a different flavor of singer-songwriter than I am used to. Ben Levin is well-known for being a contemporary alongside established YouTube musician Adam Neely. I never checked him out besides the song he did in Locrian for Neely's series of musicians with 1 mode or smth.
I don't find this depressing... it is depressing, more so wondering. The lyrics I could decipher by ear sounds like Levin was in a very contemplative mood throughout. The sparse instrumentation guided by piano feels ... read more
Finally, this might be RockGati's best album yet.
Also the mastermind behind RockGati, Greg Sheffield, is 16/17 years old. The fact that he's an insanely talented guitarist and a melodious musician at that age is criminal. Always ambitious, always looking for a way to top last effort.
EADGBE (a rather standard abbreviation) takes the ambition of his last effort, "Candy Cigarettes," and triples down on the psychedelic, lush, and densely passionate soundscapes RockGati started on his ... read more
I think viewing this as a post-disbandment album and a final farewell kinda makes the album fall together in place.
If a few tracks had been cut, I think this rating would be higher. But for what it is, I love the aggressive and metal-indebted atmosphere of this project.
"Bulldozer" and "PEACESIGN!" tho.
"Shoulderblades" is a song I have personal history with. I don't like to pen long-form reviews where I systematically dissect and analyze a project's composition, weakness, strengths, favorite moments, lyrics. They are still admirable, and there are some reviewers that encompass the literal strength of long-form very well.
What it's worth, Girl Band is a four-tet as refrained as so humorous. They never take themselves *too* seriously, when they drop the ball, they drop it HARD. They ... read more

This album reminded me about a lot of things, regarding my sister and her history with her pos dad. A webcomic I'm reading. My own dark thoughts.
I didn't catch on until the title track.
Yea I've been known to dab in a little

SMTB rips on Dog Whistle.
"Camp Orchestra" rips, the first interlude rips. Holy shit, it rips.
It rips a little more tame than I would like.
Yes.
So I like this project. I'm very much anticipating what Backxwash is coming out with this year, and I think her upfront lyricism, thematic abilities, abrasive production and status comes forward quite well.
I actually am happy that this project exists. I very much adore her bravery and willingness to put forth heavy-handed material. How GHNTDWTLHOOI channels anger, reluctance, consciousness... I very much adore this project.
I don't think it's perfect in the sense that I can completely accept ... read more
I don't have much to say other than this is a very good, concise collection of electronic songs that occupy a theme of space. And Cosmilk nailed that very well.
This reminds me a lot of "the signal" by Elitimesfour, and I think this might actually be a good companion to that record. Maybe even surpasses it.
EDIT: This gave me plenty of TOPAZ vibes. And I think I almost cried to "Hypersleep".
Before I start so people will actually read this review: This has no right to be any more genius than it is.
I was aware of Isabella back when AOTD was a thing I was invested in and part of, but never really participated beyond a few albums. Her debut album, "Climbing Mt. Zion", was and still is well-received on both RYM and AOTY. I have never listened to it, and I did try to listen but I turned it off immediately because I wasn't in the mood. Unfortunately, I can't really listen to ... read more
Damn, if this is the last demo they will ever release from the early days... this is a fantastic closer to that era of Panchiko.
I enjoyed D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L a lot, the title track is one of my favorites ever and "Kicking Cars" is nothing short of phenomenal. These guys have such a unique and futuristic spin on indie rock, I could say they are kinda like if Sweet Trip went full rock instead of pop. The haunting melancholy and longing are handled ... read more
