Nick Drake - Pink Moon
93

com·fort (/ˈkəmfərt/) - a state of physical ease and freedom from pain or constraint.

Pink Moon offers both none of this, yet all of this. Nick Drake's third album, compared to the orchestral arrangements of Five Leaves Left and Bryter Layter, is his most stripped-down work yet: only featuring his half-coherent voice and his guitar, with a sole piano overdub on the first track.

its minimalism is its greatest strength. recorded in 4 hours total over two nights, with half the ... read more

Arthur Verocai - Arthur Verocai
88

suaveeee

i swear, all the Brazilian albums from this time period must be enchanted because it's insane how they're all so good. the vocals just fit the instrumentals so perfectly; they're just so bright and pretty. one of my only wishes is for the album to be longer. the 29 minute runtime is really such a shame because it just leaves me wanting more.

Various Artists - Tropicália ou Panis et Circencis
88

the tropical and smooth instrumentals backed with the effortless vocals are just sooooo good; it's a dreamy and enchanting listen that reminds me in a sense of The Beach Boys, but also very different.

the melodies are lush and sun-kissed, creating this nostalgic but fresh atmosphere. it's definitely an album you want to play on days where you just want to sit back, relax, and let the music take you away.

Grace Jones - Nightclubbing
82

it's a really solid and funky album, not much to say about the music other than that there's a great atmosphere.

but the cover is so AWESOME, it's so cold, man. it really is unfortunate that you can't see it on spotify.

death's dynamic shroud - 失われた時REGRET [Regret When It Was Lost]
89

the soundscape is cold, unforgiving, and haunting.

i first want to talk about the cover of the album; when i scroll through albums to listen to, the cover is a key factor on whether i listen to it or not. the wireframed figure on the cover really does convey the overall atmosphere of the album: it's like a broken memory that is replayed, which creates this "slow burn" to the listeners.

this "slow burn" is toyed with throughout the album. some of the tracks are right ... read more
