Gene - the rater of either 3.0 or 4.0,

Rachel Chinouriri What A Devastating Turn of Event
Sadly, even if her mighty pop fusion into indie rock is often successful and some of the songs are indeed great, the first single off the album released 2 whole years prior (!), "All I Ever Asked", somehow remained the highest high on this. Somehow it all drags on a bit, varies not that much, despite the stylistic shifts and twists at every turn, and her vocals turn out not to carry well over a longer runtime.
3.0

Pale Saints In Ribbons
Dime-a-dozen 90s dreamgaze, but at least it has a nice few ambient atmospheric interludes and mixing choices.
2.5

Thelonious Monk Brilliant Corners
Not my favourite of Monk's, but the general chaotic looseness is so distinct and entrancing, I can't turn it off.
4.0
05.04.24
PJ Harvey Rid of Me
On 'Rid of Me', PJ Harvey has perfected the "creepy crazy goth girl who will ruin your life" vibe.
4.5
05.03.24
Mudhoney Superfuzz Bigmuff
Mudhoney's first EP carries on its brief runtime more energy than most of the grunge scene together. A high that was hit once and rarely achieved again in all of the genre's run.
4.5

CMAT Crazymad, For Me
Could have sworn I already rated this. Anyway, despite the lesser country side, CMAT can still write a formidable tune and honestly good for her.
4.0

Saint Sadrill Pierrefilant
Artsy, distantly jazzy, progressive... something. Not really sure how to categorise it definitively, but the premodifying adjectives are certainly spot on. If you ever needed a slower, more prog-ambient fusion of My Morning Jacket and (somehow also) Black Country New Road, look no further. It definitely scratched a certain slow-noise-craving itch.
