tectactoe: 🤠 tec’s Recs 🤠 Q2 + Q3 (2023)

tectactoe 10.05.23	Hopefully you can find something you like. Always looking for recs ♥
someone 10.05.23	gosh i have been putting off Fire! for ages now. i know they are good, but they are always good in a way where there is not really a whole lot to say above "yep, good" i hate that more than i hate bad music, cause at least you can talk about bad music. i am eternally hautned by how predictably good Fire! are. you better pinky promise me that my soundoff will be at least 5 sentences long as a base also Sprain good, Protomartyr the goodest, cheers for 28 and 32
tectactoe 10.06.23	Based on your sentiments there, I’m sad to repot that I don’t think this’ll be the F!O album that sends you into throes of rapture but I sure hope I’m mistaken. And indeed, I’m hoping that Faced Out album gains some more traction. Someone needs to grab the seventh-wave MWE baton.
Dewinged 10.06.23	Subscribed for obvious reasons. Gonna check 3 (omg that looks amazing), 16, 36 and whatever you tell me has female vocals that are not the shrieks of a dying banshee.
tectactoe 10.06.23	Dewi! Yes yes, I think you will fall in love with 3. The ensemble is crazy talented and Monika’s voice is perfect. The album is a journey. Honestly not sure how you’d feel about off-kilter, somewhat drone-y, folk-ish neo-psych BUT you always seem to be open minded so in the vein of female vocalists, check 7 (Big Blood). Check one of the three tracks I highlighted and if you dig it, dive into the whole album. 36 surprised me. I don’t love HxC Punk normally, but there’s an almost black metal edge to it that gives it life.
Ryus 10.06.23	23 noice
tectactoe 10.06.23	I still don't know wtf Birmingham sound is but I like it!
PitchforkArms 10.06.23	sorely disappointed that the cowboy emojis didn't mean there was country music in your recs :(
tectactoe 10.06.23	Alas, not a (sub?)genre on which I'm particularly keen, though there are (very) occasional exceptions. Nothing recently has excited me enough as a complete work, but I do think that Jason Isbell's "Cast Iron Skillets" is one of the best individual songs of the year thus far. If only the rest of the record resonated with the same oomph. (This is definitely a "me" problem.)
BlazinBlitzer 10.06.23	Sprain's definitely at least top 5 so far this year. Big props for Kostnateni and Protomartyr. Both of those records are so good.
tectactoe 10.06.23	🤘
Winesburgohio 10.08.23	ah very very good, much for me to check out! time to "tackle" some stuff in a sporting way! hmm i'll have a think about potential recs for you but the first thing that springs to mind is extremely broken record loop The Exit Bags newest. succumb
tectactoe 10.09.23	Avant-folk, you say? On it.😎
Demon of the Fall 10.09.23	nice Kostnateni appreciation still my #1 (although I've heard bugger all really)
tectactoe 10.10.23	You've got some work to do !!
Demon of the Fall 10.10.23	nah, can't be bothered to be honest I am jealous of your formatting with those emojis though, looks nice. I should learn for future endeavours (on desktop anyway, mobile would be easier but faffy as hell)
tectactoe 10.10.23	If you're on a PC, there's a shortcut for the emojis. It's [windows key] + [ . ] Brings up a little box and everything.
Demon of the Fall 10.10.23	I think you just changed my life forever I even found the specific emojis to use for the ratings! I am unreasonably excited by this revelation (I'm sure someone mentioned these shortcuts before and they were way more complex, hmm weird).
tectactoe 10.10.23	Glad I could be of service. Bonus pro-tip: after the box comes up, you can also start typing a word and it will filter the emojis based on name. (So if you start typing "facep" you will easily find the facepalm emoji, for example.)
Demon of the Fall 10.10.23	Ooh nice. You may rec me one album of your choosing and as punishment I shall listen to it in full and give you my thoughts. My only condition is it comes in at under an hour (unless it's very easy listening / ambient for reasons, but I reckon that's unlikely looking at the above). Choose wisely
tectactoe 10.10.23	Must it be from this list? Or can I go off the rails?
GhandhiLion 12.09.23	"that I've rated at least 7/10" lies!
GhandhiLion 12.09.23	25 looks interesting. Didn't realise they had an album this year
