Romance - Fade Into You

Nostalgic dreams. Sampled ballads weaved into synths and orchestral music.

Release date: 2023-04-28

[8.6/10]

Mandy, Indiana - I’ve Seen a Way

Visceral noise / freak techno. I dig this one a lot.

Release date: 2023-05-19

[8.5/10]

bar italia - Tracey Denim

RYM puts this under the category of slacker rock, which I’ve never heard of before… Post-punk britpop / dream pop.

Release date: 2023-05-19

[8.4/10]

King Gizzard and Lizard Wizard - PetroDragonic Apocalypse

Psychedelic thrash metal. This entire album rips, so many great riffs and the drums are crispy and super menacing.

Release date: 2023-06-16

[8.4/10]

Youth Lagoon - Heaven is a Junkyard

Indie pop / country. A very simple album.

Release date: 2023-06-09

[8.3/10]

Godflesh - Purge

The breakbeat and hip-hop samples are back in this one, and for that I’m really digging this one.

Release date: 2023-06-09

[8.1/10]

Ka - Languish Arts

Conscious hip hop. I think this is on par with Honor Killed the Samurai.

Release date: 2022-09-16

[8.1/10]

Decisive Pink - Ticket to Fame

Electro-pop / new age-y post-punk.

Release date: 2023-06-09

[8.0/10]

Caterina Barbieri - Myuthafoo

An album comprised entirely of arpeggiating synth sounds. I like the more melodic tracks like Math of You and Myuthafoo.

Release date: 2023-06-16

[7.7/10]

DJ Lostboi - Untitled

Hypnogogic electronic music. I like how surreal it feels.

Release date: 2016-03-04

[7.6/10]

Amaarae - Fountain Baby

While not as rhythmically intensive as her debut album, this album does have more catchy songs, and showcases the vast array of styles she can manage.

Release date: 2023-06-09

[7.5/10]

atameo - it sure is sad to hope for the best while expecting the worst

Sadboi screamo. The chugs are pretty good.

Release date: 2022-02-14

[7.3/10]

Khanate - To Be Cruel

Pretty heavy stuff. Not as gnarly as I’d like though.

Release date: 2023-05-19

[7.0/10]

Geld - Currency // Castration

Hardcore punk.

Release date: 2023-06-09

[6.8/10]

Jessie Ware - That! Feels Good!

Last album is way better. This is just alright disco.

Release date: 2023-04-28

[6.6/10]

Full of Hell, Primitive Man - Suffocating Hallucination

This is probably the sludgiest FoH can get. This album is too melodic, and considering these are the two most dissonant bands out there I can’t help but feel it a little out of character. And it’s not like those melodic ideas are all that interesting…

Release date: 2023-03-03

[6.5/10]

Dave Lambardo - Rites of Percussion

I don’t think this shows how great of a drummer he is.

Release date: 2023-05-05

[5.7/10]

Shame - Food for Worms

Catchy post-punk, although I really dig the track different person I find the majority of the rest of the album to be more miss than hit.

Release date: 2023-02-24

[5.7/10]

Dawn Ray’d - To Know the Light

While I think we need more anarchist black metal in the world, music wise this is pretty underwhelming.

Release date: 2023-03-24

[5.5/10]

Clark - sus dog

Synth heavy indie electro-pop IDM. This is much less sonically impressive than Body Riddle. Quite forgettable.

Release date: 2023-05-26

[5.3/10]

Boris, Uniform - Bright New Disease

???

Release date: 2023-06-16

[4.5/10]

Sigur Rós - Átta

Wack. OST for Avatar the movie.

Release date: 2023-06-16

[3.0/10]
