Lucinda Chua - Yian
Wonderful minimalistic modern classical pop. This is so good…
Release date: 2023-03-24
[8.5/10]
Carla del Forno - Come Around
Dub-y bedroom pop / minimal wave. I quite enjoy her previous albums but this one is my favorite yet. Super lo-fi, huge post-punk vibes.
Release date: 2010-10-19
[8.3/10]
Grant Chapman - Indentations
Ambient. It’s like Meitei + Julianna Barwick. It is very good.
Release date: 2023-01-31
[8.2/10]
Stephan Mathieu, David Sylvian - Wandermüde
Wonderful ambient tracks.
Release date: 2012-12-10

Tim Hecker - No Highs
I like the sound on this album. Very subdued.
Release date: 2023-04-07

MJ Guider - Temporary Requiem
Doomy shoegaze.
Release date: 2021-06-18
[8.1/10]
Piotr Kurek - Edena
Synth electronic loop music.
Release date: 2022-10-28
[8.1/10]
Joanne Robertson - Blue Car
Dreamy indie folk. FFO Cat Power and Grouper.
Release date: 2023-03-10
[8.1/10]
Binker & Moses - Feeding the Machine
Modern jazz. Instruments wise this is very stripped down, but it’s overflowing with musical ideas. I enjoy the parts where they’re just shredding or getting moody, the parts between those I feel is a bit less appealing and borderline forgettable.
Release date: 2022-02-25
[7.7/10]
Yves Tumor - Praise A Lord Who Chews But Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds)
R&B / art-rock. With each album release their music gets more grandiose and stadium rock oriented. I don’t dislike it but I’d say Heaven to a Tortured Mind is the album that achieves the most out of this kind of sound.
Release date: 2023-03-17
[7.6/10]
Dastardly Kids - Delinquent
Detroit hip-hop. The beats are quite nice, shame there’s only fifteen minutes of it.
Release date: 2023-01-27
[7.6/10]
Yaeji - With a Hammer
I feel kind of similarto when I first heard Rina Sawayama’s first full-length LP: they’re both pretty good, but not really anywhere close to the EP that made me want to follow their discography. I just don’t think it’s as bombastic and catchy as the What We Drew.
Release date: 2023-04-07

Fatima al Qadiri - Gumar
Minimal ambient-pop. Sprawling, suspensful middle eastern vibe.
Release date: 2020-09-11
[7.1/10]
Chunky - Somebody’s Child
UK rap. Not really feeling it…
Release date: 2023-02-03
[6.8/10]
Patrick Shiroishi - Evergreen
Ambient / field recording. To me this is much less focused than the marvellous Hidemi from 2021.
Release date: 2021-05-14
[6.7/10]
Pile - All Fiction
I feel like they’ve been on a trajectory since A Hair Shirt of Purpose from noisy indie rock band that occasionally does insanely catchy but still very playful songs, to right now where they discard that dissonance to a large degree and focus more on Rick’s vocal lines.
Release date: 2023-02-17
[6.6/10]
Contact U - Dancing Inner Space, 1982 1984
Funk / dance. I can definitely recognize the sound on this LP from some records that I really like, but a record comprised of this and only this type of electronic funk is kind of numbing.
Release date: 2022-03-30
[6.6/10]
Hedvig Mollestad Trio - Evil in Oslo
Blues rock / stoner rock. Guitar tone is quite chunky but the virtuosity is just not there IMO.
Release date: 2022-11-10
[6.0/10]
