some stuff I think people might like
here we go mother on the shipless ocean |
| 1 |  | New Buffalo
The Last Beautiful Day
st. vincent meets the avalanches. really beautiful probably my favorite record on here. subtle though: give it two or three listens. |
| 2 |  | 12 Rods
Split Personalities
'gaze-y indie rock. thick guitars and thicker chords. sort of feels like it has a "futuristic" filter on its production |
| 3 |  | Goodfight
Florida Room
mostly just the first three songs. surf-y jangly indie rock |
| 4 |  | Chad Vangaalen
Infiniheart
indie man does his thing. first three songs |
| 5 |  | Kelis
Kaleidoscope
really consistent and good R&B/neo-soul prod the Neptunes |
| 6 |  | Dettinger
Intershop
lightly varied, entrancing ambient-but-with-a-beat-but-the-beat-is-TINY vibes. reminds me of that Ulla record from two or three years ago |
| 7 |  | Suzie True
Saddest Girl at the Party
pretty good at least. I can see why dudes on the internet hate the music of this young band from LA but try, yes, the first three songs |
| 8 |  | Ekkehard Ehlers
Plays
really cool early-00s tape drone shit. RIYL basinski |
| 9 |  | Water From Your Eyes
Structure
friends. I'm glad they finally reached their potential on record. RIYL the album cover |
| 11 |  | The Spinners
Spinners
I love the last song on this album a lot. it's subtle but powerful and it's more powerful because it's subtle (the feeling that something is being withheld from us) |
| 12 |  | George Lewis
Homage to Charles Parker
my 20th century music professor senior year of college. the trombone solo (his) that closes the title track to this 1979 album is one of my favorite pieces of music ever |
| 13 |  | Renata Zeiguer
Old Ghost
good, mannered indie rock from Brooklyn. three absolute standout songs but I'll let you decide which those are |
| 14 |  | Elle Varner
Perfectly Imperfect
good modern R&B that I liked a lot in high school. Norma said it was bad though |
| 15 |  | G-Side
The One...Cohesive
really good synth-y vibrant southern hip-hop that I also liked a lot in high school |
