Red House Painters - Down Colorful Hill

This album is
endlessly relatable.
Marked by an honest, flat affect
and painful lucidity,
it will always stand as
one of the greatest,
(and certainly one of my favorite,)
slowcore releases.

I am holding my breath
and closing my eyes
and clenching my teeth
crossed fingers, broken ties.

Realicide - Enduring the Viral Hell Part 1

These guys are great.
super nice and genuine
diy diy diy diy.
Every now and then,
we all need some
distorted four/four
heavy hitting
digital hardcore.

small town boredom - Autumn Might Have Hope

This is one of my favorite
recently released slowcore albums.
It is consistently sad, exhausted
and devastated, unlike many
other slowcore albums which
have at least one reasonably
upbeat track.
those tracks are lame.

Unfortunately,
while this band excels
in delivering what the genre
calls for; unwavering sadness, their vocals
are at times a bit irritating.
one of the fellows sounds
almost bob dylan-esque
(blech. that in of itself
is reason enough to be
clinically depressed.
bob dylan is seriously horrible.
horrible.)

i fell in love in the first place.

Soul Whirling Somewhere - Everyone Will Leave You Eventually

"Everything starts
and everything ends in october"
eerily mirrors my life's patterns
and has become exceedingly
relevant in lieu of the absolute
anguish that awaits me
this halloween.

it has been a year
and i am still here.

The Tumbled Sea - Melody Summer

I ought to be in bed.
I wish that I were in bed.
The tumbled sea offers the next best thing:
a lush body of ambient piano
to hold close, lulling the
heaviest of hearts into a beautiful warmth,
despite the changing of seasons
and people.

ps.my rapid stream of posts is a clear
indication that i am spending
entirely too much time on the internet

Veronica Lake - Discography

Sometimes, nothing can compare
to the humble honesty of
lofi pop. It is quite a comfort
hiding in the transparent
blanket away from the
synthetic polish of overproduction.

Sometimes, heartfelt lofi is the only
breath of truth available
in a school so overwhelmingly
fake.

(that being said,
some of these tracks
are quite well produced.
poof.)

Mineral - End Serenading

Hopefully, you already have
this essential album
(and their debut, power of failing),
but if you are like my dear friend tk
and have for whatever reason,
been unable to get your
needy hands upon this,
please do not waste another
needy moment.

I don't care what All Music says,
this album rules and always will.

Clams - Clams

To offset the devastating noise
of the previously posted
album, A Promise, the Clams
certainly deliver.
Enjoy the hazy relief
of this Japanese shoegaze
band's contrasting
sunny noise.

Xiu Xiu - A Promise

I've been listening
to a whole lot of Xiu Xiu
as of late, this album in particular.
I am too tired, as usual,
to talk about this in any depth, but
rest assured that if you are
feeling anxiously devastated,
this album will be right up
your ally.

Lake Heartbeat - Trust in Numbers

At least I have Lake Heartbeat:
soft swedish dance pop
for the broken hearted.
what a gem.
i only hope that its sunny
shining rays of unrequited
pop romance can blind me from
the lack of romance in my life.

but seriously, this album
easily eclipses
The Empire of the Sun

Daitro - Y

Needless to say, I have been
overwhelmingly lazy as of late
and as a result have stopped posting.
Today, that clearly has changed.
However, I am not going to bother
even maintaining a shred
of professionalism
in this blog because that is
boring and I don't really care anyway.

and Daitro is awesome.

Fitness Forever - Personal Train

I've been meaning to post
this fantastic album
for forever, but
for whatever reason have
been to lazy to do so.
The weather is nice today,
and I have nobody to share it
with. Oh well.
I can bossa pop alone.

Robin Guthrie - Carousel

I don't really feel
the need to bore you with
the details of this album.
Robin Guthrie was the guitarist
of the Cocteau Twins.
This is a beautiful
ambient shoegaze album.
Writing is for losers.
