Still House Plants - If I Don’t Make It, I Love U

Warbly jazzy post-rock with R&B vocals. Sick album. Every track is worth recommending.

Release date: 2024-04-12

[8.9/10]

Dip Friso - Dip Friso

Drunk bedroom indietronica. Hazy lo-fi music, I like this a lot.

Release date: 2024-03-01

[8.4/10]

samlrc - A Lonely Sinner

Lo-fi post-rock / shoegaze. FFO Weatherday. One dude on RYM said it’s deathconsciousness for furries and I kinda agree.

Release date: 2024-03-08

[8.4/10]

Lanark Artefax - Metallur

Hits just as hard as the last one.

Release date: 2024-03-20

[8.4/10]

Not Waving, Romance - Infinite Light

This is just as good as the last one. Ambient bliss.

Release date: 2024-05-03

[8.4/10]

claire rousay - sentiment

Low + Organ Tapes. I love her earlier, much more experimental work, but I also love emo and slowcore.

Release date: 2024-04-19

[8.3/10]

Ulla, Ultrafrog - It Means A Lot

Abstract shoegazy ambient.

Release date: 2024-04-12

[8.2/10]

Adrianne Lenker - Bright Future

Indie folk. Normally I’m not too excited about this kind of music but this is pretty awesome.

Release date: 2024-03-22

[8.2/10]

Serengeti - KDIV

Jazz-hop. Gotta follow the Kenny Dennis story arc… Also sick beats by Kenny Segal. Sulfjan Stevens is on this one as well?

Release date: 2024-04-05

[8.2/10]

Sega Bodega - Dennis

Intimate, dark-club-friendly electro-pop. I really like the lead singles Deer Teeth and Kepko, in fact I think these two are the tracks that really stand out in the end - the other tracks are also pretty good but I don’t think they’re as thoroughly developed as the two lead singles.

Release date: 2017-06-16

[8.0/10]

Bongripper - Empty

The heaviest band on earth is back.

Release date: 1969-06-06

[7.8/10]

Leon Vynehall - Music for the Uninvited

Deep house. I like his stuff on DJ Kicks. I think people who like St Germain’s Tourist would dig this.

Release date: 2014-03-24

[7.9/10]

R.J.F.- Strange Going

Dark minimalist indie pop. Album cover looks like dude having time of his life but songs are gothic and dark AF.

[7.7/10]

Andrew Pekler, SG - Rain Revisited

Ambient / modern classical. Quite lovely.

Release date: 2024-04-12

[7.6/10]

Oldboy, Sekwence - Good Guys Don’t Wear White

I like the beats but Sekwence’s raspy voice doesn’t really do it for me.

Release date: 1966-01-01

[7.3/10]

Ὁπλίτης - Παραμαινομένη

Prog black metal. This one feels more forced than their previous albums. It features a lot more sax, folk guitars and even a little bit of Dream Theater-ish synth solos but they all sound kind of out of place.

Release date: 2024-01-12

[6.3/10]

Knocked Loose - You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To

I don’t get the hype around this album. To me it’s very annoying to listen to, those downtuned guitars and open chords and breakdowns just are no longer my thing.

Release date: 2024-05-10

[5.5/10]
