glaive, kurtains
This was a bit of return to form for glaive in my eyes. I have struggled to get on the same page as many people reviewing his stuff and kinda had some FOMO because I really enjoyed "All Dogs Go To Heaven". While much different from his origins, "God Save The Three" has multiple redeeming features wi…
Ravyn Lenae
Ravyn's voice is a bit of an enigma to me. It can both sound irritating and sweet at the same time. It doesn't always land but there is a lot of unique weavings of instrumentals here that play out rather well. It's no surprise that Steve Lacy was in the kitchen with this one. There are several fant…
Kenny Mason
First full blown album of his I've listened too and it's just as good as I was hoping it would be. The spectrum from rap to rock is super cool on here, none of the tracks really sound the same or even generic. I love when albums have that one song that is the artsy piece that kind of defines the alb…
Tommy Newport
Found Tommy Newport a few years back but finally decided to listen to a project of his and am I glad I did. Even though this is towards the beginning of his career as a solo artist, there are some unique fun ideas on here. Some are neat and others are a bit too out there. Mainly some of the vocal me…
Sub Urban
Really cool. I'm a fan of this overly moody, crazy vocal style. Some of the songs excel at capturing a very specific sound. Sometimes his vocal inflections are a bit grating, and one song in particular ended with it sounding like two songs were playing at once, which I was not a fan of. It took me a…
Zeds Dead
Awesome. Zeds Dead just know how to do anything they set out to do. A lot of their singles are pretty flashy and meant for an audience I am not part of, but when they decide to work on an album, they consistently put together much more atmospheric experiences. It's hard to really give a lot on conte…
Aidan Bissett
This album is the standard for a debut album. It's not perfect and features plenty of flaws and parts that could be cut but overall it has several unique enough songs with engaging melodies. The whole thing is glued together with a pretty tight musical instrument array. There isn't a ton of variety…
Baby Keem
The variety on here felt pretty abundant to me. Still honed in on a certain genre but none of the tracks sounded that similar. I ended up liking this a lot more than I was anticipating but I've liked Keem's stuff in the past. I think it is missing a really stand out track but maybe I need to give th…
