More stuff I've been jamming throughout the week.
Blue: Pretty interesting, creative synthpop music. I don't really like the retro 80s sounds here tho.
Melody AM: Some damn fine, chill downtempo music. Although some sounds are a little dated, the atmosphere and songwriting are strong enough to make up for it.
No Now: Ohboy, this is like Justin Timberlake on drugs. A bit chaotic and odd, but fuck, this has got tons of energy, catchiness and creativity going on. Really digging it.
Army of Mushrooms: Well, basically them gone full brostep and glitch. And it's actually kinda cool? Not as memorable or creative as
CVII or
Vicious Delicious but it's just a blast to listen to -
U R So Fucked is fucking great.
Velvet Underground & Nico: Uuhh, I kinda get why this has got a cult, iconic status, and I enjoy it, but it's not really stuff I'd return to - just dad rock
The Miraculous: More roulette stuff (I swear I'll end up catching with all the albums
), and it's pretty epic and dark. The dronier tracks are kinda boring tho, but I'll see how this album grows.
The Dance of the Moon and the Sun: Mmnnn some nice, uhhhh... mix of ambient, drone, tribal, folk, experimental tracks? Pretty atmospheric stuff, but I'm not really big on the drone songs (some take up quite a good portions of this double album), but the folky ones are really nice.
An Empty Bliss Beyond this World: Basically old Dixieland records played and recorded with tons of reverb. Quite a haunting atmosphere tho, love hearing all that vinyl grain and these old tunes like they were underwater. Kinda reminds me of the Bioshock soundtracks.
Pimp Master: Wow, this is some crazy, intense jazz. Yet it's not really meandering nor too chaotic - lots of catchy melodies actually. Kinda reminds me of the Cowboy Bebop Soundtrack but more intense. Ofc they're fucking Japanese.
Modal Soul: Yup I like this sound, although I admit it can get a little monotonous for such a long record. Still, lovely pianos, nice hip-hop beats, some rap and vocal performances here, and quite a lot of jazzy vibes. Ofc more Japanese stuff - guy did the Samurai Champloo OST.
Rook: Some pretty nice Indie Rock/Folk, may send some in Tomislav's roulette
Drawing of Sound: Lovely layered guitars, slow paced songs, soft yet intelligible female vocals, very atmospheric and relaxing. Fans of
Hammock check this out.
