untitled by Tom Carter & Loren Connors


https://lorenconnorsnyc.bandcamp.com/album/untitled

A masterful slow paced avant-garde guitar duo. Ethereal. Ghostly.

5/5 Highest Recommendations

for young hearts by soccer mommy

2016

https://sopharela.bandcamp.com/album/for-young-hearts






fyh is considered a demo release by sm from when she was a teenage student at NYU recently transplanted from Tennessee. There’s no “potential” because it’s fully mature developed excellent song writing. As you probably expect if you haven’t heard her it’s indie rock or twee. She’s a non-pretentious lover of pop music and that’s what she created here. It’s a collection of great pop songs. Catchy pleasant clever well-crafted hip and fun. It’s great. She’s great. Lovely music.

Psychopomp by Japanese Breakfast


https://michellezauner.bandcamp.com/album/psychopomp-2

Pp is a very sincere highly emotive art-pop record. Like most other great pop records from this era the irony and exaggeration barriers are stripped away in favor of vulnerability that dares to make really great honest art. This is another 2016 gem that deserves all the praise it received and more.

NT is a very solid indie folk record that completely hangs its hat on solid song writing and an excellent gentle singing voice. It’s not really like Cat Poweror Lois but I can see it setting well their fans. It’s a pleasure to pluck a gem out of bandcamp like this that is very sorely under appreciated especially considering what a rare skill the ability to write good stripped down folky pop song is. Millions try and fail where this is complete success. Recommended.

Zauberberg by Kassel Jaeger / Stephan Mathieu / Akira Rabelais



https://shelterpress.bandcamp.com/album/zauberberg-2

Like the more popular Gas album by the same name this too is an homage to the novel. Z is an hauntological release determined to only be made by sounds available during the time of the novel. Z should have tremendous appeal to fans of The Caretaker. If you like ambient, dark ambient, or hauntology I strongly recommend checking this out.

Oh great, I love the Magic Mountain. Listening to it now, it's nice. Like the early 20th century coming at you through a fog

Preciate the comment sister

Next review:





Houston Oiler (Slowed & Chopped) [Explicit] by Paul Wall


First and foremost I want to get this out of the way. This album is ****ing unassailable. The lack of recognition for this album, this artist, the entire Houston scene is straight ****ing bull****. Paul Wall played a pivotal role in the Houston Swishahouse scene which is one of the most important revolutionary artistic movements of the last fifty years. And ****ing of course I choose the chopped version. Talk about drug music! Limit pushing black hole insanity borderline death drug use. But one thing that is often overlooked about the whole Screwston scene is how soulful it is. Isaac Hayes is buttered all over this music. **** a hip hop fan who’s not down with this scene.

HEIMAT


https://meineheimat.bandcamp.com/album/album

This is an eclectic mix of world music sounds (I know that’s literally the most vague musical distinction there is but this is just like eastern foreign except in on an alternative earth) and it kind of reminds me of both Pram and LiLiPUT. It sounds a lot like you might imagine it will sound upon seeing the cover. It’s cool.

Will by Julianna Barwick


Vocal looping and synthesizer textures provide the sonic landscape for this 2016 highlight. If you like ambient music and beautiful and perfect vocalizations this is a no brainer. Sorry if this is just a blurb. What can I say? Just listen to it if you haven’t already.

5/5 unassailable
