#3362 Sinoia Caves - The Enchanter Persuaded

3/5
Patient, alien, inexplicably unsettling, sounds shifting like long, colored clouds. Adventurous, artful drones with a whiff of madness

#3361 Disco Biscuits - Live at 9:30 Club 04-20-09

3.5/5
Listen here! This music is mostly the same and comes in 3 hour chunks. All I'm really qualified to say is this's modestly less entrancing than their 10-05-02 set, but still very...Disco Biscuits.

#3360 Disco Biscuits - Live at Haymaker Festival 10-05-02

4/5
Listen here! Jamtronica is a very uncool kind of music, but this is so easy to listen to and it goes on forever and feels rather good. Excellent work music that will tickle just the parts of the brain you're not using

#3359 Wimps - Repeat

3.5/5
Feisty, dumb-smart punk//post-punk - arty and poppy and packed with delightful surprises

#3358 Kikagaku Moyo - House in the Tall Grass

3.5/5
these KM albums kind of blend together, but this is the most successful of their spacier albums. There's slow burn little crests, but the emphasis is on atmosphere and space and motion and pattern. A sneaky good one

#3357 Kacey Musgraves - Slow Burn

3/5
Pleasant, sweet pure-pop without a lot of personality. The subtle electronic flourishes are the highlights. But most of the album's bog standard verse-chorus-verse over a kitchen sink's worth of instruments and production tricks, with nothing that lands half as well as say, Lorde, Grimes or Mitski.

Exercise for the reader: does this have a higher rate of country instrumentation and themes than Old Town Road? And if not, hm.

#3356a Fela Kuti - Unknown Soldier

3.5/5
A smoldering, hypnotic jam that gets your head bobbing good and slow before it snaps the trap closed with its harrowing message. Powerful, complicated stuff
