Give me recommendations! I probably won't write about everything that I listen to. Most of these write ups will just be ramblings that come to mind whilst listening to whatever I'm listening to. side note: apparently on my old account i was super fake and enigmatic, let's try to change that here :) Home, Like Noplace Is There by The Hotelier Along with Whenever, If Ever, this album has really brought the whole spirit of the Midwest Emo scene to life for me. These albums make me feel like I want to be with people and not in this solitary, self-centered mindset that I often have. When I'm not listening to new albums or Drake, I'm usually listening to albums from this area of music. Nothing from 2014 really hit as hard as this: "So if I call, should I beg? Because I'm desperate here; a couple steps from the edge. I can't seem to burn bright enough. I'm cold and I'm left alone. We're all alone. Grab a hold. I know I said to not. What the fuck do I know? I had a chance to construct something beautiful and I choked." I'm not one to really be into lyrics all that much, but when someone can write lyrics that bring me to a land called nostalgia, it starts to "make sense". Everything about the emotion poured into and out of this album is just raw. The dynamic contrast is great, the aesthetic fits, and everything else. I couldn't really pick a favorite track, but if I had to give someone a place to start I would pick "Among The Wildflowers" due to how beautiful the delivery is. "Dissociate from touch. You’re tilting to pull the others with you. Posed shakespearean skull, we see in different pictures. You play the imperial stealing the power to waste away. You took the comfort from the lights in her soul. Projected map of the body: it's crass, abject, colonial. You passed dis-ease presented to you at birth. Held underwater told to scream your self worth. It wasn’t good enough. Entrust the secrets to the backs of your arms. Killing the self as to protect it from harm." It's always nice to let your emotions out to an album.
