Massive Attack - Mezzanine
NR

Redoing this review because the first one I wrote however many months ago seems cringe in retrospect

I first heard this album while doing sorting work in my school's library and I thought it was dope but it didn't hit as deeply as it would come to over the year and a half.

Each individual song is a very specific experience, and to me stands to represent a specific place and situation. Group Four is running frantically around the Houston experience, Exchange is walking through the ... read more

Wilbur Soot - Good Will Hunting (Black Country, New Road)
NR

You will never be Isaac Wood Wilbur. I don't understand why you thought this would work, I don't understand why you willingly chose to use an old phone to sound like Julian Casablancas (whom if we're being honest, is in a flop era right now) just everything about this absolutely baffles me.
To think I once found you or your music even remotely compelling actively makes me feel sick. Do the world a favor and retire.
Never show your face again.

Holy FUCK we are so back. Drain Gang 4L man.

Puma Blue - Holy Waters
85

Oh Puma Blue, what is there for me to say? I adore this man's voice, he creates just the most utterly vibey songs, he's Chet Baker reincarnated. I want to be him. This is one of my favorites of 2023....even if I heard it in 2024 (shhhhh)

Squid - O Monolith

It's just that bit better then Bright Green Field! I listened to the albums back to back to get a good discerning of my feelings of both, and this one came out on top. Swing (In a Dream) is something I heard in 2023 but didn't get as deeply into as I probably should've. That, the Blades and Siphon Song are really the standouts here for me. If you like Black Midi, you'll probably like this. If you like For The First Time, there's a decent chance you'll like this one too.
