Ashnikko - Demidevil

Annoying choruses - worthy of rolling your eyes. Not crazy about the vocals, claustrophobic. Average prodcution, but with some interesting details. Trying to be Harley Quinn but in the evil doll sense....Some sound diversity. Lyrics oscillate between relatively interesting details and details, especially in the stanzas and generic scenes - painfully generic. Princess Nokia's participation is a totally different vibe (very strange to hear her in that beat). There are painfully repetitive elements here. "Hey grandpa, drop the beat XD" - this was genuinely funny. It gives a lot of that chick who wants attention vibe. She's not monochordic at all - I see potential! - but all the voices she does make my hair stand on end xD. The production 

is slightly average, but has interesting details and elements. Definitely creative - props for that. Repeating the grandpa joke was a really bad choice. By the way, I like the vocals and the beat, maybe, in the first stanza in the song where Grimes paritcipates "Cry" - at least it's dynamic. Grimes practically only does adlibs - what a waste :/. "L8r" - is this 2021's pop punk blink - 182 xD? Ah! her voice is so annoying.... her perspective and sense of humor have some genuinely funny moments! I wish this artist's singging was better. Overly obvious Arcade game comparisons. This tries to be sexual, but at least it's so painfully obvious and horny that it's not even funny most of the time. (melody reminds me of MCR's hidden track - "blood", but in the worst possible sense xD. Ambitious genre bending choices for sure, though.

Black Country, New Road - For The First Time

  "For The First Time" is proof that although they were late to the party, "Black Country, New Road" is the best scene to happen in current post punk recently (the most comparable with 2020 might be West Of Eden and although I prefer the super duper highlights of HMLTD, I'm the first to acknowledge that "Black Country, New Road" is much more cohesive/instant classic. Hack, I might prefer "For The First time" in favor of the Idles' magnum opus. This is so but so good - I had to be digging around in the bottom of my barrel of nitpicks to find any flaws in this debut. Speaking of which, how is this a debut?????? This has left me speechless - the sound of Black Country, New Road" is not only innovative but also superbly detailed. IT IS SO GOOD! The very premise of the band is superb: it brings together the unpredictability of jazz, with the riffs that made post punk so artsy and iconic. This rules! I've been listening to this for abo

Madlib - Sound Ancestors

  "Sound Ancestors" by producer Madlib - someone I'm not exactly familiar with yet is far from a trip to frame and tell future generations about, but it certainly has highlights and notable elements! Frankly, in the less good moments - this gives a lot of 7G (Ag. cook) vibes - diversity of sound, unfocused , taking motifs and prolonging them to exhaustion (even if the tracks are brief), or else putting several elements together but nothing happens ( Riddim Chant)" Until "Hopprock" (included) I still believed that the tracks would strengthen by showing us the "bigger picture" , since "There is no Team prelude" gives that vibe. "The Call" and "Road Of The Lonely Ones" are perhaps the real higlights of the album - through spacious production, psychedelic vocals, and extremely catchy riffs/percussion. Also of note on this solid block are the bass lines of Dirtknock and the electrifying "Hopprock". From here on t

Bicep - Isles

 Electronics. It could be more textured.  Fuses diverse electronic beats with atmospheric vocals for long periods of time that are danceable, energetic, that rarely become cloying - excellent first two tracks. The incomprehensible vocals on "Apricots" are slightly off-putting... Maybe it's my fault, but the mix sounds weird - too many flashy elements (honking horns), but instrumentally it's kind of catchy. . The vocal paritcipation in "Saku" is ok, nothing fancy, but it gets the job done... it's decent."Lido" soothes the scenes that don't need soothing.  After all, is it for dancing or is it for introspection with digital environments, i need to know!!!!!!  YES! we've warmed up again with "X"! - distorted/disconcerting. The vibe is still nice, but slightly cloying and there's a horn that won't shut up :/. Blur... YES! we've warmed up again with "X"! - distorted/deconcerting blows/chords? ganda beat! (aute
