Folk / and things [2024]
On a purely musical level, probably my fave thing he’s done since The Glow Pt.2 (and it feels like a pt2 to that pt2 which makes stars align and the immediate comfort vibes that this provides make a lot of sense). More hodgepodgey? 1st listen felt very messy but fun for it, v unexpected turns and turns. [4] really pleased this is as nice as it is |

This sounds like eating cheerios. Nutritional, good, hearty, you’ve had it many times before and you kinda roll your eyes at it and it at you, you hug in a milky embrace, and make babies. [4] cheerio |

20th November 2024
Jazz Fusion / Djent [2024]
I got halfway through this before realising (a) I’ve listened to hamasyan before and (b) is this a videogame soundtrack (rym seems to imply that it is, but I can’t find a game). I was about to compare him to himself in lieu of (a), with some of that go go penguin sauce. Djent for the jazz room. [3] too plastic but lots of gems within the 90 min slog |

Atmos bm [2024]
Decidedly not my fave lane of the genre - like watching paint dry at 0.25x speed with a blindfold strapped to mouth - but this does have fleeting moments of mystery, mystique and magic. But it’s 100 minutes long. On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and [3]. |
