Here's a little easter present for y'all
Blueneck – Epiphany 8.5I love how the singer has kind of a broken voice but it feels so soothing. The atmosphere in this song is the good, comforting sadness. I just feel the song building up knowing this has to climax into something. And when it does, boy it does! I immediately pause want to pause what I’m doing and just close my eyes and let myself drown in the music for two minutes
The Comet is Coming – Summon The Fire 8.25Love the start of the song, the slightly dark vibe. That distorted brass sounds so cool and I dig the motive it plays. I actually like this a lot more than any jazz I’ve heared, and I think that is mostly because of the more darker, crazy atmosphere. Also I feel the composition is a bit more graspable than what've heared, it’s interesting and progresses quite a lot without becoming ‘random’. Another great submission, and something that is of a genre I barely listen to!
Thievery Corporation – Heaven’s Gonna Burn Your Eyes 8.25I absolutely love the vocals on this song, they sound really unique and have such a cool mysterious and slightly creepy seductive vibe to it. Even though the lyrics in the chorus are quite basic, due to the way it’s sung and repeated it get’s such a different charge. The composition is quite repetitive but works quite well here, also I absolutely dig when the drums enter.
Pure Reason Revolution - Bullitts Dominae 8I just love the melodies and the way the vocal sounds in that after-chorus section (first time around 2:20). Instrumentally it’s pretty solid all the way through and that’s a nice intense outro. I’m not that much into progressive rock right now but this sounds quite fresh while still including a lot of things I like about the genre.
Kaddisfly - via rail 7.75I really like the atmosphere and vocals in the first part. The chorus is pretty solid but I feel it clashes a little with the first part, style wise. I do like how all the different parts and feels keep the song interesting to listen for 5 and a half minutes. However I do feel that the mix of styles keep me from really getting it into emotionally as much as the previous post-hard core song you send. Still it’s a damn solid post-hard core one!
Sweet Billy Pilgrim – Longstreth 7.75The chorus is quite pretty but in general I feel very okay toward the the first part. However I absolutely love how it picks up after three minutes, that’s a beautiful instrumental part. I love the more minimal last part too, it contrasts well with the louder section before it and makes me feel a lot more than anything in the half. So yeah absolutely dig the last two minutes but bot sure if it’s always worth getting through the first part just to hear it.
Endless Forms – Lungs 7.25Is it a coincidence that this song was used in a series called ELITE? Anyway it has a beautiful atmosphere and great vocals, maybe a bit much reverb. However both composition wise and stylistically it just doesn’t feel super special. I did enjoy it, but am not really gripped by it.
The Magnetic Fields – The Luckiest Guy On The Lower East Side 7Ooh sending me such a happy song is somewhat of a risk. After I heard it for a few times I though it was actually something written a lot earlier, the slightly psychedelic pop feeling parts (like the bridge) are pretty great and make me think a little of some Beatles or Syd Barrett songs. But it has neither the same level of musicality of the former or the raw feeling of the latter. Not that it needs to, it’s a pretty cool and happy song, which I dig (just) when I’m in the right mood.
Feels Like Home 6.5Quite an old song, let’s see if it has aged as well for me as some of my favourite classics. So the instrumentation is quite okay, but the piano and strings are pretty basic. Maybe the mood is a bit too mellow or the singer a bit too careful… Somehow it doesn’t really get through to me. Despite being named Feels Like Home it doesn’t make Home Feel Like That Much, I’m sorry.
Bat For Lashes – The Boys of Summer (Live at EartH, London, 2019) 6.5I’ve heard the original song quite a bit on the radio at my parents’ but was never a super big fan of it, didn’t hate it either. I immediately dig the atmosphere of this rendition more, the kind of mysterious, dreamy vibe sounds great. However there are some parts about the composition that I don’t like so much. Mostly the keyboard (that is so present in the mix) which keeps playing that same motive over and over again, I’m already bored of it halfway through the song.
Final thoughtsDespite having the lowest highest-score-of-the round so far it was a pretty solid one again! The leader board has been shuffled a bit with the round winner being actually the person with the lowest score last round. Remember peepz, one more round to go before cut-offs. And with the last person only having 2.5 points lower than the 3th person everything is still possible
