Memory keeper. Mostly music and movies, plus some series and video games. Obscure darkness meets pop culture glow.
I am not the avid Gary Numan fan but this is a great album even if there is nothing outright special about it. Good moods of industrial-rock-electronics, not foreground music though. (And probably the most terrible album cover typography of 2017.)
Still digging through some stuff from last year that I missed. And just can’t miss to put up everything from Ritual Howls here. Still goth.
Discogs says it’s techno and house AND modern composition. I cannot really say, it is many things with mixed beats, more slow than mid tempos, some basses but more pianos, few vocals but rather instrumentals. It is nice music, some tracks great even.
This year so far (not too long but still) I heard so many boring records released lately. So this one is officially the first one that sounds interesting, energetic and most of all genuine. Other than that it’s low-fi garage rock shitpunk, like it should be.
Just good vibes. House, positive, weekend chill.
It’s like Portishead remastered with a more current sound. Has weight.
Nice and smooth. Good for work and chilling.
Having a cover like this makes me wonder if this is something interesting, surely theatrical, probably unexpected. The guy is said to be a chameleon but I don’t like all aspects of that making this album inconsistent. Some tracks are blowing my mind (Personal is a new favourite), some are not what I would expect but still great (Body Popping is like that), and there are some that I don’t dig (and no point in listing such). I especially love the ones that have the undeniable mark of Trent Reznor and not because I want to hear him echo everywhere but because Lenman takes some stuff with him and makes it his own and it is really awesome what comes out (hear in Mississippi). All in all this shit is runner-up for my Top 10 in 2017. Again something that I didn’t see coming.
This is a shit album, supposed be punk but it’s just random and bad. Luckily in that randomness there’s a completely unfitting piece called Spit, which is a great triphop track.
Mostly punk. Then punk rock and post-punk. It is raw and dragging with force and wit.
