Midwife - Luminol
Best sadcore album I’ve heard this year. My wife likes it as well.
Release date: 2021-07-16

Bvdub - Ten Times The World Lied
<3 <3 <3
Release date: 2020-04-03
[8.7/10]
Skee Mask - Pool
Awesome IDM / dub techno.
Release date: 2021-07-23
[8.7/10]
Don’t DJ, NWAQ - Fashion
Subterranean club music. I dig it.
Release date: 2020-12-15
[8.6/10]
WasWaas - Antidote
Minimal techno / ambient. I like every track on this EP.
Release date: 2021-01-07
[8.4/10]
Malcolm Pardon - Hello Death
Somber keyboard music. I know they’re very different, but I kind of feel like this and Masayoshi Fujita’s Apologue both have the same solemn, nostalgic mood going on. Good stuff.
Release date: 2021-04-16
[8.4/10]
Perila - How Much Time It Is Between You And Me?
Museum music. More specifically, the soundtrack to a documentary piece you see in the art museum, the piece being about some extremely slow movements, viewed from infinitely many perspectives. Chilling music.
Release date: 2021-06-25
[8.3/10]
Turinn - 18 1/2 Minute Gaps
Mystical techno. Sounds like Burial meets JK Flesh.
Release date: 2017-02-17
[8.3/10]
Tyler, The Creator - Call Me If You Get Lost
Overall this is a pretty solid album. I like the tracks that have elevator music-ish instrumentals the best. Haven’t really listened to Igor so don’t know how this one holds up against it though.
Release date: 2021-06-25
[8.2/10]
Pan Daijing - Jade
I find this to be more easily approachable than 2017’s Lack. Gothic experimental opera music?
Release date: 2020-07-24
[8.2/10]
Perila - Everything Is Already There
This one is pretty dope too.
Release date: 2021-06-18
[8.2/10]
bdrmm - Bedroom
Nowadays it’s difficult to come by a quality shoegaze record that doesn’t repeat what has already been done billions of others… This is one of those good shoegaze albums.
Release date: 2017-06-16
[8.2/10]
Tangents - Stateless
Jazz / IDM. Kinda reminds me of Tortoise’s stuff, although they’re actually completely different…
Release date: 2007-06-25
[8.1/10]
Dos Monos - Dos Siki 2nd Season
Even Jazz Dommunisters is on this EP… dope. Hopefully they do a full-length instead of pumping out a EP once in a while.
Release date: 2021-07-23
[8.0/10]
Satomimagae - Hanazono
Ambient / indie-folk. Very reverb heavy, kind of reminds me of Julianna Barwick (well kind of…)
Release date: 2021-04-23
[7.8/10]
Salamanda - Glass Cage
New-age music from Korea. Is actually pretty nice!
Release date: 2006-01-01
[7.8/10]
Claire Rousay - A Softer Focus
Soothing field recording / minimal ambient music.
Release date: 2021-04-09
[7.7/10]
Fatima Al Qadiri - Medieval Femme
Not really digging her stuff from before, although Spotify says I will like her stuff if I enjoy Sophie. This one is mystical and much less of a (hyper)pop album compared to her previous albums, it presents a sparse, semi-deserted ancient city (not sure if it made sense), thanks to the ghostly synth sounds and vocal samples drenched in heavy reverb.
Release date: 2021-05-14
[7.7/10]
Mica Levi - Blue Alibi
I don’t know why but I always confuse Mica Levi with Octa Octa… this is left field indie rock + ghostly human voices. Kind of like a less pop focused Dean Blunt. Nothing like Octa Octa…
Release date: 2021-01-27
[7.7/10]
Lilla - Soundness Of Mind
Meditative new-age electronic music. These two dudes met in a Zen monastary… Very oriental sounding at times.
Release date: 2021-06-25
[7.6/10]
Ambrose Akinmusire - On The Tender Spot Of Every Calloused Moment
Modern jazz music. I appreciate the more chaotic, more free-jazz-ish tracks like Tide of Hyacinth than the other ones.
Release date: 2020-06-12
[7.5/10]
Panopticon - … And Again Into The Light
Some songs sound like he’s been listening to Heaven In Her Arms quite a bit… this one feels more influenced by folk metal and melodic death compared to say Kentucky or Roads To The North.
Release date: 2021-05-15
[7.5/10]
The Field Mice - Snowball
Jangle pop. It’s decent, but I bet there are a bunch of bands that are like this.
Release date: 1989-01-01
[7.4/10]
Wanton Witch - Wanton Witch
Industrial techno / hardcore from Bangkok. I guess this is something that would be much more impressive if played through high quality PA system in a club or livehouse than my bluetooth speakers…
Release date: 2021-06-04
[7.3/10]
Pom Poko - Cheater
Art rock / post-punk. Angular guitar tones and hyper energetic vocals. I found this band after I watch the movie Pom Poko, sick anime movie…
Release date: 2021-01-15
[7.2/10]
Eli Keszler - Icons
Dark jazz. While this album is more structured in terms of songwriting, it is much less exciting compared to his previous album.
Release date: 2021-06-25
[7.0/10]
Yoshinori Hayashi - Pulse Of Defiance
Techno. Pretty diverse album in terms of musical style and texture, or you could say it kind of lacks focus, which is sort of how I feel about this album.
Release date: 2021-04-09
[7.0/10]
Spellling - The Turning Wheel
Gothic synthpop. Sounds like classic Disney cartoons from the 90s. Or a more rock-oriented Kate Bush.
Release date: 2021-06-25
[7.0/10]
Moin - Moot!
Math rock. I am not a huge fan of the drums on this album - it could have been done in a much more subtle way. Now it’s way too full and kind of distracting.
Release date: 2021-03-31
[6.8/10]
Suzanne Kraft - About You
Dream pop. Feels kinda generic…
Release date: 2021-03-31
[6.5/10]
Ann Margaret Hogan - Funeral Cargo
Modern classical. Richard Clayderman does soundtrack for Red Dead Redemption.
Release date: 2021-05-28
[6.3/10]
Hightide Hotel - Naturally
I am too old for punk rock. I prefer Nothing Was Missing, Except Me to this one.
Release date: 2014-09-16
[6.3/10]
Year Of No Light - Consolamentum
It’s either this album simply isn’t that good, or I just no longer enjoy post-metal anymore… Every song on this album sounds the same, and the riffs aren’t really heavy.
Release date: 2021-07-02
[6.1/10]
