Music Log

I'm no longer trying to listen to 3 new albums a week, but I'll still continue using this space to log the new music that I come across.

2022-01-03

acloudyskye - A Place Where Mountains Hide and Blood Rushing Like Current Through a Powerline

Discovered through Beat Saber modding. Both albums are fun listens and give a bit of variety but I think I like A Place Where Mountains Hide just a little more.

Keygen Church - ░█░█░░█░█░█░

A seriously unique blend of Master Boot Record style computer-generated metal and baroque/organ music. And yes, that really is the name of the album.

2021-11-09

Wye Oak - Civilian, Cut All the Wires: 2009-2011, and The Louder I Call, the Faster It Runs

Heard about these guys through word of mouth and I'll definitely be listening to more of them.

2021-11-06

Sungazer - Sungazer Vol. 1, Sungazer Vol. 2, and Threshold

Very fun listen. Electrojazz isn't too bad.

2021-09-27

I haven't been great at keeping this up to date. But here's some new albums I've listened to over the past several weeks.

Low - HEY WHAT

I was looking forward to this one and wasn't let down. Low continues to find creative ways to use distortion effects, but also manages to make each song more memorable than most of their songs from the last album Double Negative.

The Killers - Pressure Machine

It's been a while since I've listened to an album from these guys but I was pleasantly surprised. It's a new sound from them and I like it.

Ryley Walker - Deafman Glance and Golden Sings That Have Been Sung

Good chill fingerplucked guitar.

We Were Promised Jetpacks - Enjoy the View

Kind of typical indie rock. Not that that's a bad thing.

2021-07-11 - 2021-07-17

The Antlers - Green To Gold | A chill indie folk album. Parts of it reminded me of Grizzly Bear.

2021-04-25 - 2021-05-01

A Perfect Circle - Thirteenth Step | Being a casual fan of Tool and having liked Eat the Elephant, this was a good listen

2021-04-11 - 2021-04-17

And So I Watch You from Afar - The Endless Shimmering | One of my favorite instrumental rock albums I've come across so far
The Jesus and Mary Chain - Darklands | Shoegaze goodness
65daysofstatic - Wild Light | Heavy electronic post-rock... will be listening to more of these guys

2021-03-21 - 2021-03-27

MASTER BOOT RECORD - C:\>CHKDSK /F | Metal and classical music with 8-bit-like synths, what's not to like?
Aphex Twin - Drukqs | Some beautiful moments, some danceable moments, and some wtf moments
Sweet Trip - Halica | Another pleasantly dreamy album to zone out to

2021-03-14 - 2021-03-20

The Sundays - Reading, Writing & Arithmetic | I remember hearing a few of these songs when I was super young so this was a bit of a trip
Sweet Trip - Velocity: Design: Comfort. | Dreamy and glitch-filled. Looking forward to repeated listens.

2021-03-07 - 2021-03-13

machinegum - Conduit | Not bad, I like the variety but might be a little too synth-poppy for me
Sweet Trip - You Will Never Know Why | One of my favorite finds so far. Great blend of a lot of genres I like. Will be looking more into these guys.
Matt Berninger - Serpentine Prison (Deluxe Edition) | Been listening to the normal edition since it released but I liked all the extra songs that came on the recent deluxe edition

2021-02-28 - 2021-03-06

The National - The National | Been a longtime fan but never listened to this one for some reason. Decided to change that since it recently was remastered. Good album.
Caribou - Suddenly | I'm a Caribou fan now
Bent Knee - Land Animal | Some good jams in here, may or may not listen to again though

2021-02-21 - 2021-02-27

Caribou - Swim | Will definitely have to check out more Caribou
Nine Inch Nails - Ghosts V: Together | Popped up in Spotify recommendations, nice chill album to put on while working
Fishmans - LONG SEASON | A bit weird but there were a few parts that I liked
