| Trif's 2023 ☘ Records I Love So Far
It's March! Time to start cataloguing all of 2023's records that I 1) have heard; and 2) gave a 3.5 or higher (equals LOVE). Last year's edition was a little airy, entirely because of me. Will this one be any different? We'll see in ~9.5 months! | | 1 |  | Weval
Remember
Electronic
4.0
The Netherlands
Probably my fave Weval full-length. Right now at least. For sure better than The Weight, debut is super good so I don't know how those two end up. Check if you like techno with a hearty dose of melancholic trip-hoppy goodness. They're a little hard to define. Super glad Changed For The Better was included here! | | 2 |  | The Necks
Travel
Jazz
4.0
Australia
Oh yeah, more Necks! Yet another good one. How could it not be with this super The Gathering-esque title! Jammy, explorative jazz which never fails to mesmerize. | | 3 |  | Orbital
Optical Delusion
House
3.5
UK
So this contains some very nice tracks (opener, many early-half ones) and some which are not really for me (The Rat, some others). That's exactly how I've felt about most of their latest ones. | | 4 |  | Little North
Wide Open
Jazz
3.5
Denmark
Acoustic jazz trio. CHECK. Drums, double bass and piano: CHECK. Happy me. | | 5 |  | Mais Uma
Rosa do Deserto
Folk/Bossa Nova/Cantigas
3.5
Brazil
Very weird. Be warned. Some of this is super goofy, her vox are always super lovely. Nice melodies and some just-over-the-edge moments. | | 6 |  | Oceanic (NED)
Choral Feeling
Electronic
3.5
The Netherlands
Club-atmosphere, with some weirdly placed spoken words (in Dutch) here and there. Nice one! | | 7 |  | Tigeroak
Living and Living
Soul/Jazz
3.5
Denmark
Very smooth, cute and melodic. Think Georgie Sweet/Erika de Casier. Yet different enough for sure (that sudden velvet-D'n'B explosion!)! Sounds very good too. | |

03.08.23 | Did anybody notice? 2023 started! | Demon of the Fall
03.08.23 | I have barely noticed to be fair, at least music-wise, although...
WEVAL! And yes, I might agree with it being their best.
heard 5 new releases all year, as I'm only checking 'Demon's essentials' at this stage / this time around, so we'll see how long that lasts | Trifolium
03.08.23 | Yeah that was my approach last year. Needed to spend some time with old friends (record-wise) and checking that ever-growing/never-shrinking backlog. Oh my. So many oldies to check still 💕
Thinking of doing the same thing this year, checking only the most appealing new ones.
"WEVAL!" [2] | Mythodea
03.08.23 | Hello you beautiful man, you! Passing by to suggest listening to "in|Flux" by Anna B Savage, and keep a tab on your list for the gems you are going to dig out ;) | someone
03.08.23 | I am so looking forward to the new Weval | DadKungFu
03.08.23 | Anna B Savage [2] | Trifolium
03.08.23 | Yipppeeee party people!
Long time no see Myth (😭), thanks for the rec (DKF too!), looks super promising.

03.09.23 | Hi Trif | Storm In A Teacup
03.09.23 | Trif I know they probably dont say it but these records also love you! | Trifolium
03.09.23 | Hi Ars!
That's so nice to know Stormy thanks 🥰 | SlothcoreSam
03.09.23 | Trif, check the new album by GEZAN, it's my fav of the year so far. | Trifolium
03.09.23 | Will do Sam! Thanks! Keep those recs coming!
Listening to Everything Went Well (from 1) right now and that is another HIGH from that album oh my. Super lovely stuff. | Egarran
03.09.23 | Woah is it 2023 already? Only now do I realize.
My half-bro the jazz sax player keeps releasing songs but I don't like any of them. It's very unfortunate.
I guess this is ok: https://youtu.be/RQxWjf6CJU8 | Trifolium
03.09.23 | I will check tomorrow that sounds interesting. Also poor you is this where your hate for saxophones originated? | Egarran
03.10.23 | No, I was born with that hate. | Trifolium
03.10.23 | There's that nature vs nurture thing again, always popping up.
🤮🎷🔥
