October Reviews

It's really cold out there. All this pandemic stuff just beat the shit out my consciousness. Just want to bury myself deep into some bunker and get out only on spring. And get out only for Shin Megami Tensei V of course! After that I bury myself once more. And on this positive note...

2020-10-26

It's really hard to approach rap music for me. Best records are in English (kinda) and It's not my native language. So patiently waiting genius.com to generate lyrics and meanings (kinda) is my way to listen to this. It takes time... but! But some records are too good to not talk about it. And here it is:

2020 / clipping. / Visions of Bodies Being Burned

CANDLESTICKS IN THE DARK VISIONS OF BODIES BEING BURNED

CANDLESTICKS IN THE DARK VISIONS OF BODIES BEING BURNED

CANDLESTICKS IN THE DARK VISIONS OF BODIES BEING BURNED

CANDLESTICKS IN THE DARK VISIONS OF BODIES BEING BURNED

/me violently swinging knife around

This albums really slaps (though). I knew some of clipping. tracks before, like Wriggle with samples of Whitehouse. But never really dig into this group, so I started to listen to this album absolutely clueless. And oh my Lord Satan, takes my Blasphemous! It's violent, unsettling, scary (BOOM BOOM BOOOM and you gonna have to die about it) and trippy. Imaginary in mv just adds up trippiness and psychedelic experience to this record (contortion guy, wow) and I LOVE IT!

On repeat: Say the Name, Something Underneath, Enlacing.

2018 / JPEGMAFIA / Veteran

OH THIS SOUNDS LIKE DEATH GRIPS<Esc>ddO Peggy is god. I really love what he's doing: he's lyrics, music videos, casual youtube vlogs, interviews, free records on bandcamp (IN THESE DAYS). He is natural, he is who he is. No more or less.

This album glitchy and aggressive as fuck. It's goes on you with one sharp bar after another, sometimes someone screaming or licking you ear (wtf dude?). It get you absolutely not ready for this, in really defenseless state. It like space entity talking to you and you just not ready for it. And I really LOVE IT.

On repeat: Baby I'm Bleeding, Real Nega.

2019 / JPEGMAFIA / All My Heroes Are Cornballs

OH WHY IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE DEATH GRIPS!!!111<Esc>ddO Peggy has many music talents to offer. How about lyrical and feminine record? Yes please, it's interesting!

Absolute opposite of previous records but not really. Sometimes it's sound like 00s pop music (is this ironically?), but good. I can't say anything more about it, you really should experience it yourself. It's really good, I LIVE IT.

And there's really fun youtube videos how Peggy shows new tracks to his friends. I really appreciate this album more after.

On repeat: Jesus Forgive Me, I Am A Thot, Thot Tactics, Free The Frail, BasicBitchTearGas (of course).

2018 / Spectral Kingdom / I - III

There were days around 2016 when on bandcamp dungeon synth exploded with amazing records. Even Bandcamp Weekly features this wave of dungeon synth. And one of a bulk was Spectral Kingdom - I. It's instantly take me away to some ghostly medieval times, where big epic reverbed synths walk me through dark and heroic path, where I died at Dungeon's End. I also like II and III times, it's not so epic and big, more on romantic and psychedelic side. I like think that first record was about epic warrior adventures, second about death and acceptance to it, and third about afterlife in Valhalla or something. It's just my imagination though.

I LOVE IT.

On repeat: Sojurn, Eternal Temple Flame, Third of Nine.

2020 / Fetch / Shadows Among Trees

Fermented music with dungeon synth feeling but more on ambient techno and psychedelic side. Battlefield rave. Bunch of corpses, blood and severed limbs everywhere, and you're lying on cold liquid mud. It's how this record feels.

Best record on POSEV's catalog so far. I LIKE IT with two pluses, and feels that this records will grow on me to I LOVE IT with some time.

On repeat: Death Instinct, Vulture.

2019 / 100 gecs / 1000 gecs

- What music do you like?
- It's... it's complicated...

And this really is. I absolutely by accident opened youtube video with "hand crushed by a mallet" and instantly just hate it. Hate it so much, that I can't stop listen to it (PLZ SEND HELP). It's sooo baad. So bad that it become beautiful.

Absolutely awful autotune vocals crushes to your ear with crispy noisy beats melted with some strange metal, noise, ska (?!) etc influence. What's wrong with them?

It's a digital diarrhea and I LIKE IT.

On repeat: money machine, 800db cloud, hand crushed by a mallet.

2020 / Autechre / SIGN

Fuckin' love this guys. I remember when I was a school kid and listened to Amber. Can't understand everything but can appreciate how this music absolutely nothing like what I was listen to those days. Like someone just sent you copy of alien music.

And this record what is this. New music, new style, but same feeling. It's incredible glitchy and alien with crispy hypnotic melodies.

Strange journey and I LOVE IT.

On repeat: F7, Metaz form8, sch.mefd 2, psin AM.
