New Music Friday!

CMAT was fine. The lead single “Whatever’s Inconvenient “ is one of my favorites of the year and the song that come before it on the album was also really good, but the rest was just ok. Her debut last year was a surprise favorite for me that I fell for immediately so I’m sad I don’t love this also

Got an early start today and before work I was able to listen to the new album  Spine by Myrkur (aka Amelia Bruun). It's a fantastic listen! She has eschewed any clear genre-defining on this one, pulling from and stylistically meshing all of her previous works into an interesting, brave, haunting, and beautiful 33-minute project. Surely this is her best work to date. This album is nordic folk perfection tinged with moments of black metal, dream pop, shoegaze, synths, strings, and electronics. Her vocals, as usual, are stunning as well. The shoegazy/dreampop/metal single "Like Humans" has one of the best choruses of the year, IMO. Every track is solid and there's not a drop of excess fat on this album. This is a perfect autumn record, and it will surely find a spot on my AOTY list at year's end 🎯

Again, not much listened to.

🔥
  • L'Rain - I Killed Your Dog [beautiful, ethereal R&B with soundscapes pt. III]
  • MIKE - Burning Desire [up there with the best hip hop of this year. I'm thinking about honing on this drumless, abstract approach as the preference/norm for this decade]
👍
  • ††† - Goodnight, God Bless, I Love U, Delete. [Chino doesn't seem to age at all, hm? This dark, edgy synthpop sound works well, outside of a few boring tracks as the formula wanes near the end]
  • Helena Deland - Goodnight Summerland [pretty vocals, quite lovely in spots]
  • Kacey Johansing - Year Away [pleasant. Good looking out, @catman]
  • Jamila Woods - Water Made Us [thought about this some more. Initially had it top tier but moved down considering that the production is safer compared to the excellent LEGACY! LEGACY! and the overall quality tapering off towards the end. Still good!]
🤷‍♂️
  • Sulphur Aeon - Seven Crowns and Seven Seals [when it comes to death metal, you can do much better]
👎

None.​
​
🤮
  • Westside Gunn - And Then You Pray For Me [the trap production combined with Gunn's flow goes together like peanut butter and napalm. A trudging slog of tracks from "Dunnhill" to "LL BOOL GUNN" anchors it to the bottom tier on its own, even with some OK (and even, dare I say, ENJOYABLE) tracks spread outside of it. Unforgivably bad release from a Griselda MC]

Oooooohhh can’t wait to listen!! Technically, I got the physical a few days ago but we have yet to set up a tt—and we have two, so there is really no excuse except…..kids, life, and finding the perfect office desks for our listening room.
