RELISTEN2: Franz Ferdinand (down)

Franz Ferdinand

255: Sam Dew (B-)

Sam Dew in tier list Dew’s name is all over song credits. Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, more. He made it onto my list via association to Jack Antinoff; he’s part of Red Hearse with Antinoff and Sounwave. Anyway. I really liked the singles and ep, they were fun and interesting, definitely a vibe. IContinue reading “255: Sam Dew (B-)”

254: ABBA (A)

ABBA in tier list it is genuinely a little bit astounding to me just how much “classic” ABBA there is. I’ve been meaning to listen through all of ABBA’s stuff for ages now; in my head, from what I know, I’ve always really liked them. They’ve got some great hits, they’re mega famous and historicallyContinue reading “254: ABBA (A)”

253: Sammy Rae & The Friends (A-)

Sammy Rae & The Friends in tier list Well, this really isn’t a first impression. I first listened through all of Sammy Rae & The Friends’ music almost a full three years ago, at the behest of my little sister. I liked ‘em a lot, and they kept growing on me as I listened. IContinue reading “253: Sammy Rae & The Friends (A-)”

252: Hazlett (A-)

Hazlett in tier list I do just really like folk music. Folk leaning, folk inspired, I find it very appealing, consistently. It’s also heavily focused on being atmospheric, which I didn’t realize at first, but as I came recognize that part of it and understand how pivotal it is to shaping the sound, to influencingContinue reading “252: Hazlett (A-)”

251: Kenshi Yonezu (A+)

Kenshi Yonezu in tier list This is what I wrote after listening to his first album, Hanataba to Suisou (Bouquet and Burial at Sea), which he released as Hachi. This is day one, my first impression of him: I found this immediately compelling. I’ve got a feeling, I think Kenshi Yonezu is gonna fly toContinue reading “251: Kenshi Yonezu (A+)”

RELISTEN1: Feed Me Jack (up)

Feed Me Jack

250: ENHYPEN (A-)

EHYPEN in tier list I think this is my favorite K-Pop I’ve listened to so far, though I admit that the sample size is still very small. It’s still got what I feel like is, to me, an increasingly core issue regarding the organization of the music; there are albums and eps and rereleases andContinue reading “250: ENHYPEN (A-)”

RELISTEN1: Bobbing (down)

Bobbing

249: Tyler, The Creator (A-)

Tyler, The Creator in tier list the first four albums I did not much care for, counting BASTARD as the first album. There was a pretty steady progression, I felt, through Cherry Bomb. I could always very clearly hear that Tyler had stuff to say, there was clear demonstration of his passion and his pain,Continue reading “249: Tyler, The Creator (A-)”
