https://annaotta.bandcamp.com/album/such-is-life ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ released June 16, 2023 Experimental Such is Life is one of those rare experimental records that leans as much into a universe beat pop aesthetic as it does the avant garde. Largely based on human voice manipulation the sound is difficult to describe. This album would sit well onContinue reading “Such is life by AnnaOtta feat. La.Fumero”

Radiophonic Dub by Andrew Nolan
https://phagetapes.bandcamp.com/album/radiophonic-dub Industrial Dub Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ released June 23, 2023 “Radiophonic Dub” is an instrumental industrial dub album that invites listeners into its expansive sonic realm. While the album showcases moments of intrigue and solid production, it falls short of fully captivating the audience and delivering a truly memorable experience. From the very beginning,Continue reading “Radiophonic Dub by Andrew Nolan”

https://northamericanszone.bandcamp.com/album/long-cool-world ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Instrumental Americana released April 7, 2023 “Long Cool World,” features only two members, Patrick McDermott on guitar and Barry Walker on pedal steel, and their collaboration is nothing short of exceptional.

I’m really trying to be a bit stingier with my ratings but I simply can’t deny that this is a flawless pop record top to bottom no skips. Every song isContinue reading “Favourite Person by Reveal Party”
I Play My Bass Loud by Gina Birch
Genre: Dub Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ If you don’t know Birch is rock’n’roll royalty google it. I’m not here to judge this record more favorably even though she’s a god. Or because she’s old. Or because she’s a woman and a feminist. I don’t give a fuck about it any of that becauseContinue reading “I Play My Bass Loud by Gina Birch”
Glossover by Afternoon Bike Ride
https://afternoonbikeride.bandcamp.com/album/glossover Genre: Soft Rock Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 4/5 Stars released February 10, 2023 Glossover sets out to be an intelligent but easy listen and ABR achieves that artistic goal.

Infinite Winter by Tears ov Blood
https://gondolinrecords.bandcamp.com/album/infinite-winter Genre: Dungeon Synth Rating: 🪦 🪦🪦 🪦 Recorded in 1994; Released 2022 No other genre brings home how talented a person can be and still go unrecognized.

Starlight And Still Air by Starlight Assembly

And unfortunately I typically find that style annoying, soulless, and simply poorly done. But there’s always room for me to learnContinue reading “Starlight And Still Air by Starlight Assembly”
loosies by contron
Genre: Folk Rating: 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ released on Bandcamp July 29, 2016 Going by discogs and bandcamp release dates best I can figure, Contron, who just popped into my bandcamp feed with a new single was most active in 2013 and then again in 2019. He’s a lofi folk musician somewhat in the vein of Smog.Continue reading “loosies by contron”

All that. Fucking brilliant. So goddamn great. It’s really burdensome to try to describe. First and foremost, fuck my review, just listen to it. It’s sad music. In aContinue reading “A NU MYSTIC TRAJECTORY by HKE”
RFM EP by Revenge from Mars
https://revengefrommars.bandcamp.com/album/rfm-ep Genre: Alternative Rock Rating: 4/5 released on bandcamp April 8, 2022 One track on this, Bongo, has a release date of 2014, so based on that and the way this thing sounds I’m figuring they’ve been curating these six songs for the last eight years. Usually, with bands like this, that have a smallContinue reading “RFM EP by Revenge from Mars”
