I've listened just twice, but oh my I adore it so. Her space of sound is so singular, but I can get an idea where she captures parts of her sound signature. It's like a ethereal cyberpunk dream that taps into the gen-z underground; there are features from underscores and Bladee, after all. This will be going into my rotation for the coming months for certain 🔥

The artwork is giving Serial Experiments Lain and I love it so much for that alone; perfect runtime just like an episode from a 90s anime 🤗🥰

I listened to this one and Grabyourface and then relistened when I made Deb listen to them. I was really impressed.

I'm 6 new releases in to this New Music Friday, and, so far, this is the best album I've checked out. Glutton For Punishment is the debut LP from Jojo Orme, aka  Heartworms. I've been anticipating this debut release since I stumbled across an article from The Quietus back in October of last year, which was an interview of Heartworms (an artist I was unfamiliar with). What we have on this debut is a 37-minute exploration of emotion through 9 raw, danceable, dark, and absolutely catchy tracks. Specifically, we have doses of gothic rock/pop, alternative dance, synthpop, and darkwave mixed with Orme's billowy, mystic, sometimes cryptic, but ever-so-beautiful vocals.
View attachment 226276And coalescing all of this is producer Dan Carey (known for producing for others like Black Midi, Squid, Fontaines D.C., and Wet Girl, just to name a few). From the incredibly catchy line "I don't wish murder cause I got no right" from 'Extraordinary Wings', to the pulsating pace of 'Warplane', and from the absolute danceability from 'Just To Ask A Dance', to the near perfection that is penultimate track 'Smugglers Adventure' (I can't help but hear the similarities to Agalloch's 'The Hawthorn Passage' here), every track on this album is great. Don't miss this debut!

This was very enjoyable. Not likely to make my monthly list, but definitely something I'm glad I checked out and will most likely revisit!
 
So, listening to the new Squid which I have enjoyed immensely. Which brings up an old nagging self-directed nitpick. What is it about this album (besides a post-punk, chamber new wave soundscape) that makes it's subject matter (evil) more palatable than say Ethel Cain's latest meditation on the perversions of man or Pulp's explorations into depravity? Being human is so weird. Hell, I was thinking while bristling at Pulp last night (This is Hardcore for the generator thread) that it was only one or two steps removed from NIN's Closer. What is it about contradiction that seems to infect the human condition?

huh?
 
Oh man, I just finished streaming this one Stupify and I can't wait for my vinyl to arrive!



At 100 years old, Marshall Allen; the man who has been steering Sun Ra's Arkestra since Sunny and John Gilmore's passings, its longest serving member and there since early days, has just released his debut solo album. And it's wonderful.
