Bandcamp Listens
I like bandcamp. I always want to use it for listening more than I ever end up actually doing. Instead of a one-a-day album goal, this year I'll just stick to one new 2024 album per-week that can be found on bandcamp dot com |
| 1 | | Yo
Hopetrain To Universe
shoegazey, post-Rocky |
| 2 |  | Patricia Taxxon
Bicycle
3.8/5
This is sooooo good, I could have a lot to say about this. unfortunately i feel like the vocals are a sore point, but they don't outright ruin any tracks |
| 3 |  | Ouraganutan
Luid de
3.2/5
Good background ambient, field recording, bedroom playing |
| 4 |  | The Dee Thees
The Dee Thees
2.5/5
fine pop punk. could be more exciting, but could be worse too |
| 5 |  | Mitch Murder
Salary Man Simulator: 'Executive Edition'
3.5/5
Frutiger aero utopian virtual (wii sounding music) |
| 6 |  | Windows96
Dated New Aesthetic
3/5
that vaporwave adjacent vgm sound they usually have with an extra few bells and whistles |
| 7 |  | Da Flyy Hooligan and Wun Two
Nocturnal Hooli Vol. 1
2.5/5
The beats are fine, just a bit generic? Like, it's a cool soundscape i've heard a million times. Likewise, Mr. Hooligan has a good sense of flow but could work on catching the ears a bit more |
| 8 |  | Chelsea Wolfe
She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She
3.5/5
I do love the industral and trip-hop sound on this. It feels very energetic compared to what I've heard from her previously.
House of Self-Undoing, Place In The Sun, Tunnel Lights |
| 9 |  | The Last Dinner Party
Prelude to Ecstasy
3.9/5
Florence and the Machine with Queen level flair. If this band's an industry plant, we should be giving it the sunlight and water it needs because this is a very fun, solid rock record to have in the public eye. Also womans rights :)
The Feminine Urge, My Lady Of Mercy, Portrait of a Dead Girl, Nothing Matters |
| 10 |  | Erika de Casier
Still
3.2/5
very smooth. there are some songs that have production that pops though, and those are the best
Lucky, Test It, Ex-Girlfriend |
| 11 |  | Allie X
Girl With No Face
3.2/5
Some of this I really like, very fun high-energy vibes and style. opening pair of tracks are great. there are some underwhelming bits though, every allie x project i've listened to has them. It's like some pieces of the pie don't get cooked properly. It's still a respectable pie though.
Girl With No Face, You Slept On Me, Staying Power, Truly Dreams |
| 12 |  | Hannah Frances
Keeper of the Shepherd
3.5/5 |
| 13 |  | Cheem
Fast Fashion
3.8/5
Motorola Razr, Charm Bracelet |
| 14 |  | Eli Keszler
Live 2
4.2/5
It's like Autechre at quarter speed. Calming but intricate, embodies the ambient ideal of being able to listen passively or actively. |
| 15 |  | Cloud Nothings
Final Summer
3.5/5
Like circling around to the start. Reminds me of their stuff pre-2017
On the Chain, Running through the Campus |
| 16 |  | Vegyn
The Road To Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions
3.3/5
Good modern production...nothing really stood out to me though
Halo Flip, Makeshift Tournaquet |
| 17 |  | James Elkington and Nathan Salsburg
All Gist
3.8/5
Wonderful duel plucking, playing - melodic bliss for a calmer state of mind. Also a cover of Buffalo Stance
Nicest Distinction, All Gist Could Be Yours, Buffalo Stance |
| 18 |  | Khruangbin
A La Sala
3.4/5
Even more sleepy and laid-back, but that's part of the return to form.
Ada Jean, May Ninth |
| 19 |  | Janelane
Love Letters
3.6/5
Sort of like a bedroom indie rock smörgåsbord
Love Letters, Think I'd Be Fine Without You, Your Own Ride Home |
| 20 |  | Full Of Hell
Coagulated Bliss
3.5/5
Loud grindy goop
Schizoid Rupture, Fractured Bonds to Mecca, Vomiting Glass |
| 21 |  | Heavenly Blue
We Have The Answer
3.8/5
noisy post hardcore screamo
Glass So Clear, Certain Distance, Heat Death Parade |
