What was April? April was (uh) Techdog and other electronic ambient things. Did a deep dive into 70s German creativity sauce, guided by the lukewarm hand of Harry Sword. Fuck there is a lot of music that exists that is good (which is good). I’m so tired. There’s no end. |

Ambient / IDM [2006]
Why do the sounds of someone else’s something make me feel so alone. [4.5] |
3 | | Animal Collective Fall Be Kind
4th May 2024
Psych Pop [2009]
Soz got distracted by employment and beef. This is good. Somewhat standard flavour for the an/co eps in that it’s a great snippet of colour and texture and I wish it was longer and fuller. [3.5] |
4 | | Meat Beat Manifesto and Merzbow Extinct
5th May 2024
Power Noise / Breakbeat [2024]
Proper meaty gristle on these thumping big beat bones. [4] |

(Industrial) Hip Hop [2013]
Hurry up with my damn croissants. |
8 | | Kanye West 808s and Heartbreak
8th May 2024
Electropop / Pop Rap [2008]
What a completely fucked run of albums in 808s to MBD(etc) to yeezus, like inventing a new ye every couple of years. Flamboyant and sad. Maximalist and sad. Idk one of those crying through fake smile album experiences. Longer than it needed to be but mostly love what’s left when you skim the fat. [3.5] |
9 | | Kendrick Lamar Section.80
8th May 2024
Hip Hop [2011]
Kinda dumb this came out a year before good kid, so much goofier and “in draft” vibes, but whiffs of the spicy album craft and onion layers that Kendrick went on to perfect on his next 2 LPs. Weird one to rate as I don’t think I’ll ever return to this, but cool that it exists. [3] |
10 | | Drake Take Care
8th May 2024
Pop Rap / R&B [2011]
Such a chore to get through, despite the handful of super vibe moments. Fun checking both beef merchant’s early era (11’) records. Lyrics on this. The lyrics on this. The. Lyrics. On. This. [2] |
11 | | Sleep Dopesmoker
10th May 2024
Stoner / Doom / Drone Metal [2003]
Rejamming after by book told me I’m a dork. Kinda fucks. Remember being bored by this but it’s (pretty)(hypnotic) and a cultural fucking icon at this point in terms of weed culture / music / etc. [3.5] will keep spinning and growing |
12 | | Knocked Loose You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To
11th May 2024
Deathcore / Beatdown [2024]
Kentucky fried deth. Locked goose bring another big boi it slaps it stabs it sounds evil and fun and everything I want from this band. [4] |
13 | | Iglooghost and Mr. Yote MILK EMPIRE
12th May 2024
Wonky / Glitch / Hip Hop [2015]
The hip hops feel frontier than I’m used to for igloo, which there glitchy edm chaos as felt more present. Super fun mini roller coaster. [3.5] |
14 | | Iglooghost Tidal Memory Exo
12th May 2024
UK Bass / Experimental Hip Hop [2024]
So not the one trick pony that I thought he was. Goes in almost trip hop directions, then back to ADHD-core, then into softer EDM home territory. Lots to chew on. [3.5] |
15 | | Iglooghost Snoring (Music to Sleep to)
12th May 2024
Ambient / Classical / Minimalism [2016]
Has no damn right being this good and existing in this man’s anxiety inducing (brilliant) catalogue. Very Steve Reich / Steve Roach idk man super pretty super unexpected blissful blissful blissful. [4.5] |
