^ album of the year so far. chill summer jams & party bangers, simply hit after hit.
I was shocked as to how much I liked this. It's going on my chart for sure.
I didn't care for the other two records of his I had heard— and I came quite close to just ignoring this altogether— but he finally nailed down his sound. This record had the versatility and range his previous work didn't. Don't think I've heard better a reggaeton record yet. I'm still not sold on his 'too-cool-to-have-different-notes' vocal delivery, but I love how he finally dug into the cumbria roots and made it shine. Plenty of fun.
This is a solid work too. Very early 00s inspired (I suppose that generation is next at bat). I'm hearing Aaliyah, Mariah Carey, and maybe even a bit of Shakira here. Her fairy-cloud delivery is a bit too sugary for me, but the compositions here are ace. Not sure it'll ever be a personal favourite (just personal taste), but I have nothing but respect for the effort here.
A nice step forward from Redveil. I like this guy. He has something that clicks. Beats are great (albeit a little compressed), and his bars are decent, but he's obviously trying just a smidge too hard from time-to-time. He needs to borrow some of Bad Bunny's chill. Either way, worth a spin.
I know this isn't 'this-week-new', but I just got around to it. The cover doesn't suit it at all. Needs some Neutral Milk Hotel/early-GY!BE art. Figured it'd be a Cloud Nothing's post-hardcore-esque sort of thing. Wasn't expecting to dive into this raw-minimalist-chamber-avant-folk piece. Lovely bit of work. Never had a wow moment, but I loved the vibe. Very warm, yet distant. Like a summer treehouse you know will never exist.
A research and sound project that pairs a sound artist with a quantum physicist.
Dear to my heart are their attempts at interpretations of quantum random data.
Has the well-known flutist, Barbara Held, playing on two of the 6 tracks. Graphic!
Ross Birdwise -
All By Compass Am I (De)Composed
Cyclic and linearised expectations are eviscerated and ejected for lines of sound
that commits itself to the irregularities of Ross Birdwise's long differentiated yet
interrelated lines of samples of string quartets, cassette recordings, sine waves,
percussion instruments all poked and pushed thru tape manipulation and
granular synthesis that creates wafers of analog and digital blurring.
Also: is any white journalist out there gonna realise that maybe Kendrick didn’t recruit Kodak to make some point about the hypocrisy of man/cancel culture/his own wavering moral compass, but because Kodak may be the best rapper alive and game recognise game?
Do white Journalists talk about anything else these days? Reviewing actual musical craft/decisions (or really any artistic medium) is soooooo 20th century
Anyways I did like the new Cave IN and Gospel, completely at peace with turning into a musical dinasour, and the Action Bronson and Sadistik were solid on the hip hop front (any more good recs Skinny?) and I liked the more low-key Let's Eat Grandma even if admittedly (at least on the musical front) it's a bit of a side-step for them compared to I'm All Ears. Still haven't listened to Kendrick's, and Angel Olsen's latest was... fine.
Music for cello (acclaimed cellist Ashley Bathgate) and electronics controlled
by stock market data culled from the 5-minute "flash crash" collapse of 2010.
Remixes are included by folks like Vladislav Delay and an Amber-era Autechre
feel from Angélica Negró with others. Hyper-cellos, robots, in the disco-ship!

Latest from Sada Baby, billy woods, Payroll Giovanni, and particularly DaBoii are all reliably brilliant. _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.

gonna have to disagree here, always found bad bunny to have very versatile projects - this one is for sure his most diverse yet tho, complete melting pot of influences
Just learned that the first Wormrot LP in 6 years is dropping July 8th!!! Wooohooo!!!! Pretty excited about this one. Then a week later is black midi’s third. Then in early august it looks like a new Chat Pile LP is dropping. Those are the 3 that I’m most jazzed about. How about y’all?
Edit: oh and of course the second KNOLL LP on my birthday June 29th is actually my number 1 most anticipated. _________________ -Ryan
