Memory keeper. Mostly music and movies, plus some series and video games. Obscure darkness meets pop culture glow.
I wrote some notes about Howl in 2015 when it made it to my Top 10 albums of the year. Most of those hold true for Persona. Although this one is not that elemental and cosmic but closer to earth and more looking up from here. Same vibes, same sounds, same great music though.
Some kind of melancholic electronic music with dark moods and a steady pulse. Like the dark days of Apparat or the electronic version of a post-rock record. Extremely atmospheric, swallows me, chews me, spits me back into the void, a pitch black to love.
Downtempo, ambient, on the brink of modern composition but still the electronic music kind and not the classical music version. It is a nice ride as a concept album and also great vibe for work. With a last record of house beats this one as a first after Vynehall’s moving to Ninja Tune is an exciting twist, we’ll see what comes around next if he sticks to the ninjas.
Classic Ólafur Arnalds. Beautiful and sad, like life.
Back to the future, ancient cyberpunk and loveably naive. And the cover.
Psychedelic rock and low-fi garage. (Probably like the cover better than the music.)
Great punk rock from Sweden.
It’s like the female version of King Dude.
Refreshingly nothing special, simple alternative rock shoegazer album. It’s like your friend’s band from high school.
I am filtering my stoner rock intake much more lately. This one still hits home. Beautiful cover also.
