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.

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.)

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.)
