209: c a n d i d ! (B)

c a n d i d ! in tier list it’s good. I like the later stuff more than the earlier stuff, which is good, means they’re getting better. It’s a little bit of a bummer that I don’t like the album as much as the singles because I want to like albums more inContinue reading “209: c a n d i d ! (B)”

208: Maisie Peters (A-)

Maisie Peters in tier list I tend to like her poppier stuff more, though that rule isn’t hard and fast. Everything’s pretty consistent, especially after she catches her stride in You Signed Up For This. Before that there’s a good bunch of stuff that’s alright but a little boring. Not everything, there’s plenty of songsContinue reading “208: Maisie Peters (A-)”

207: Red Two Six (C)

Red Two Six in tier list I’m bummed, I really wanted to like this a lot more. This was the conclusion to my investigation of Feed Me Jack, which first gave me Still Woozy (which I’ve loved for a long time), then gave me Bobbing (which I’ve loved for a much shorter time but maybeContinue reading “207: Red Two Six (C)”

206: M83 (D)

M83 in tier list I’m not enthused. For the most part, it’s long, slow, instrumental, and repetitive. In other words, super boring. The movie scores I think are the right play for him, that’s an appropriate setting for this kind of music, where part of the design is taking up time and not necessarily actuallyContinue reading “206: M83 (D)”

On the Reduction of Infinite Music (into Musical Canons)

THE COMMENT “What? You haven’t heard of or listened to so-and-so? They’re huge! How could you have not listened to so-and-so? They’re a cultural phenomenon, they’re a fundamental part of modern music! If you haven’t listened to so-and-so, if you don’t know x song, how can you say you know music at all?” This isContinue reading “On the Reduction of Infinite Music (into Musical Canons)”

205: Red Hearse (A-)

Red Hearse in tier list Solid. It’s hard to have much of an opinion with there being only one album. I like it a lot, it was good Jack Antinoff stuff, but I’m just not attached to it, at least not yet. I like it for sure though, good stuff. A-

RELISTEN1: Maggie Rogers (up)

Maggie Rogers

204: Yoke Lore (A-)

Yoke Lore in tier list I like it, it’s a vibe. It kinda reminds me of Austin Archer, the way the vocals are mixed mostly. I could definitely see it growing on me. There were 35+ songs across singles and eps, plus another 14 in the album. It all feels about the same. Not inContinue reading “204: Yoke Lore (A-)”
