Alt rock to hear from the bedroom of the girl next door.
Modern Woman – Johnny’s Dreamworld
Starjunk95 – Industrial Sunset Memories
This album is all over the place and it’s fantastic. It’s breaks, drum and bass, house, bass, future funk, and it’s uplifting, energetic, and groovy. It’s one of those “when all the world goes to shit, this is my happy place” kinds of music.
Update: So now I learned about rally house as a genre. Then is this rally drum and bass?
Nathan Fake – Providence Reworks: Part II
Mostly modern classical, ambient, emotional.
Nathan Fake – Evaporator
Leftfield downtempo daytime techno. (I realized that I don’t like my indietronica definition, so I’m experimenting again.)
Oli XL – Lick The Lens / Pt.1
IDM, fittingly coming from Warp. Back to basics but it also does sound and feel modern.
Old Saw – The Wringing Cloth
When I do day dreaming about roaming the wide open fields of North America, fishing in a mountain river, sleeping under the skies near the campfire, and collecting the stories of the countryside, this is the music that I hear. It’s an atmospheric ambient country thing.
Momoko Gill – Momoko
Easy jazzy pleasant backdrop.
Mokado – Where Does The Night Go?
Electronic dance music with a mid-high pulse and catchy tunes. When it’s on the mid-tempo it has Weval vibes, and when it goes further with the tempo or the pop it could be the new Chemical Brothers hit. Also, great fit as a life backdrop for many occasions: work, walking around, cooking, garden party, sex.
The Toxic Avenger – Globe, Vol. 3
Synthwave without the unnecessary banging and just more chilled vibes, but also not the too mellow kitsch. It is pleasant, kinda mature synth music to listen to.
Awich – Okinawan Wuman
Pretty awesome rap album over the US-Japanese Wu-axis.
