album listens #99 - townes van zandt - townes van zandt

 

so lovely, so nice :')

FAVOURITE SONG: For the Sake of the Song, Fare Thee Well, Miss Carousel, Waiting Around to Die

RATING: 8/10

album listens #98 - romance - fontaines d.c

 

fontaines cement themselves as the most inconsistent mainstream post-punk / rock band of the decade. first two singles were great, then got uninteresting; the few album tracks that are the highlights still don't do anything really interesting, grian's lyrics are basically the only thing that is. mildy impressed, wildly boring

FAVOURITE SONG: Favourite, Starburster, Bug, Death Kink

RATING: 4/10

album listens #97 - journey in satchidananda - alice coltrane & pharoah sanders

 

definitely a re-listen but i absolutely love this album. the whole thing is so rich with character and textures and atmosphere it really feels like such a journey. going to listen to lots more alice coltrane asap

FAVOURITE SONG: (all felt like one song really)

RATING: 9/10

album listens #96 - so medieval - blue bendy

 

really love the songwriting. love the vocals they are so emotive. does feel quite bc,nr - esque at times which isn't a bad thing but i feel like that's where the creativity is lacking, however blue bendy r very cool i like them

FAVOURITE SONG: Mr. Bubblegum

RATING: 6 or 7/10

album listens #95 - suicide - suicide

 

didn't get it until about halfway through and still not 100% sure i do. not one i'd listen to often but i respect what suicide did on this album. it's super basic and it's the soundscapes that really create the character of it. cool af

FAVOURITE SONG: Frankie Teardrop

RATING: idek/10

album listens #94 - walls and bridges - john lennon

 

extremely uninteresting and borderline offensive in how much it sucks. seems like he's doing a callback to the beatles, remembering all the glory days by doing them ten times worse. a few redeeming moments but barely worth listening to

FAVOURITE SONG: What You Got, Steel and Glass

RATING: 3/10

album listens #93 - masterpiece - big thief

 

perfect in every way. have such a love for guitar tones like this and its recorded and produced just perfectly. greatest band ever i love everything they do, songs are gut wrenchingly beautiful and i love the loud style of this. as good as capacity and not far behind dragon new warm mountain. incredible wowwowowowow

FAVOURITE SONG: Real Love

RATING: 10/10

album listens #92 - two star & the dream police - mk.gee

 

very nice, very pleasant, just not my kinda thing. love the mj vibes but that's about it

FAVOURITE SONG: DNM

RATING: 4/10

album (ep) listens #91 - drop 7 - little simz

 

had this on a few weeks ago. remember enjoying it and thinking it should've been longer but not much more about it

FAVOURITE SONG: Mood Swings

RATING: prob like a 6

album listens #90 - i lay down my life for you - jpegmafia

 

obviously peggy is still the greatest producer of all time. infinitely interesting and experimental. nothing more i can say about how great he is that hasn't already been said so just LISTEN TO THIS.

FAVOURITE SONG: JPEGULTRA! (feat. Denzel Curry), either on or off the drugs, SIN MIEDO, i scream this before i interact with anyone

RATING: 8 or 9/10

album listens #89 - charm - clairo

 

would describe charm as 'post bedroom pop', it has the same twee kind of intimate feels but the production is so much more interesting and shiny on this one. listening to this album while on the tram to work, watching as the windows in front of me stayed still and the buildings flew by in the background which is probably the best way to experience this album.

FAVOURITE SONG: Thank You, Nomad, Terrapin, Second Nature

RATING: 7/10
