ambient

there is a hollowness to this that my dumbass struggles to put into words. it opens itself up to the listener apprehensively but!!! it's not too long before we're ensorcelled by the sound (hell yeah i found an excuse to use that word) and we've set our feet deep enough to catch the lovely textures floating in and out of our periphery

Golden Calf


experimental rock/pop

holy,,,,,, shit,,,,,,,, this one snuck up on me (thanks blush) but it's beautiful/idiosyncratic in the best of ways. i'm still on its high, which may be cause for its position, but i feel like this record is more special than it was intended to be; it's not a statement, it didn't break any notions of obscurity, nor does it try to be an album that saves your life, but it growsandgrowsandgrowsandgrowsandgrowsandgrowsandgrowsand --
