A very tropical/summery sounding downtempo record with hints of Indietronica/Tropical House. I've listened twice and it really clicked for me the second time around. Nothing innovative or crazy but quality stuff.
Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement have been on my radar since 'Ambient Black Magic' and this is their best release since then in my opinion. Just a 3 track EP but I believe it's over 30 minutes of music. It's actually their second release this year, and the better of the two records.
This one kinda went under the radar the only reason I know about it is Iglooghost made a YouTube community post about it. It's a 30 minute mixtape that goes into more of his lore about "Lei Music". Plays I guess like a radio broadcast with little spoken word bits throughout talking about the world he's created. Really quality stuff, and if you like more of his Wonky stuff like Clear Tamai/Steel Mogu this is more similar to that as opposed to the more lush soundscapes of Lei Line Eon. It's kinda like his 'FM' (by Vince Staples) if that makes any sense. _________________ Griselda, by Fashion Rebels 2020's Hip-Hop 2020's Country
And this came out in 2020, but we don't seem to use the 2020 albums thread anymore, so... here's Slowdive meets Sigur Ros, in Spanish, and just as good as it sounds.
New Darkside was okay, albeit a little boring. Same with the Yves EP. Hype for the new Lorde is very low after that second Lana-light single. Another Boldy James/Alchemist collab coming soon, should be good. New Grouper on the way too. James Blake. Sturgill Simpson. BadBadNotGood. Deafheaven. It's like 2013 again. Should have acouple stacks of listening this season. _________________ Doubles & Conch
So...Pink Siifu just quietly released my new AOTY. Siifu just continues to impress with his versatility. Seems like after every release he's been reinventing his sound while still maintaining a prominent position in the slums lane.
Some of you may know him from acclaimed sound collage record 'N*GRO' last year. This album sounds nothing like that. On this record Siifu is rapping kinda reminding me of his 2018 record 'Ensley' at times. But for the first time he's really pulling from Southern Hip-hop with his flows and production choices. He is from Alabama after all. It's still got that signature Siifu feel to it, incorporating jazz rap, neo-soul, and cloud rap with abstract lowkey flows and trippy, mellow production. One of the most surprising things to me is that he's also rapping over a ton of trap beats and making multiple bangers on the record including some incredible posse cuts at the end. Really didn't expect that from Siifu but damn he killed it.
Tonight should be exciting for new album drops (even if Kanye doesn't follow through on releasing his album again).
New Lingua Ignota, (maybe) Kanye, Tinashe, Foxing (STL represent!), Liars, and Nas (although I haven't been keeping up with his output). _________________ -Ryan
