Day 590: Xiexie by Celer

Usually the ambient albums I end up listening to have the field recordings more embedded into the songs rather than acting predominantly as interludes. For this album, I think it's a fair approach as it adds a sort of versatility of moods. Also not even angry how long this is.

Day 591: Leak 04-13 (Bait Ones) by Jai Paul

I still don't feel like writing anything TBH. This is decent psychedelic R&B I guess. This barely counts as a 2019 album.

Best Track: BTSTU (somehow this song reminds me of Crayon Physics)

Day 592: Éponyme by The George Costanzas

It got me to giggle intermittently, moreso during the first few tracks than the rest. The Eraserhead reference was, err, nice I guess. Other than that, throw this bullshit away. Why did I even download this?

One of the best Latin American musicians, you probably have heard about him.

Day 593: Schlagenheim by Black Midi

Some of this is good. Some of this is a bit too goofy for my tastes. Some of this sounds like a fucking jam band. Memes.

I swear I'll do what I intended to for 5 year anniversary... soonish.

Day 594: Lux Prima by Karen O and Danger Mouse

I don't particularly like or enjoy the Yeah Yeah Yeahs but luckily only a couple of songs here sound like that! For the most part this just sounds like a decade redux on Modern Guilt and yes I'm only saying that because of the producer. This is a better album than that though. Some missteps here and there but some good atmospheric tracks.

It ain't even 10AM yet.

Day 595: 7 by Lil Nas X

The BoyBoy West Coast definitely had the better meme song. Almost nothing else here sounds like Old Town Road, with dude instead taking an eclectic approach to things. Unfortunately, most of this is just weak Travis Scott knockoffs and cringy bad rap rock that vaguely sounds like Kid Cudi. Panini and Rodeo are decent, but even the latter is entirely carried by Cardi B. Also why are there two Old Town Roads what the fuck

I hope we get an album of U Was At The Club (Bottoms Up) soundalikes or else I feel BoyBoy will disappoint as much as this piece of trash.

Day 597: The Big Day by Chance The Rapper

It's WAY too long, preachy and there are some hilarious missteps, but it's definitely nowhere near as bad as melon alleged. Sad that this guy has fallen so far from the days of Acid Rap but other than a few hilarious tracks, this is really just aggressively mediocre. How the fuck can you equate this to Speedin Bullet 2 Heaven?

Best Track: Roo I guess

I'm convinced he took the bad use of sampling that was showcased on Landmarks and something just clicked for him, the field recordings on Xiexie are pretty tasteful and imo the album stands up there with albums like Capri and Discourses of the Withered

Day 600: Case Study 01 by Daniel Caesar

A lot of these songs sound like The Internet but with male vocals. The best songs are the ones that sound like The Internet but with male vocals. The other songs range from middling and forgettable to decent. Overall though, I like this album, it's not mindblowing or anything but it's very solid. Melon can go choke on a rind.

Day 601: Full Upon Her Burning Lips by Earth (Album Choice: aperson)

Continuing the trend of going back to artists I haven't checked new shit from in years! I've always preferred older Earth, specifically Pentastar: In the Style of Demons and the famous album over their newer sound, but it's pleasant enough. This album is quite literally exactly what I'd expect from modern day Dylan Carlson. It's drone-y, but not NEARLY as drone-y as their earliest works with every song containing actual riffs. That being said, the whole thing is still incredibly minimalistic, sticking to one desert-esque vibe with seemingly seamless tracks and mostly consisting of only guitar, guitar feedback and slow, brooding drums. Bass occasionally.

It's pleasant to listen to, and it works very well as study music, but outside of that, I'm failing to see what this album accomplishes that wasn't already done about equally (not necessarily better or worse!) than The Bees Made Honey In The Lions Skull. I hear that the two or three most recent albums prior to this one contained more deviations to the Earth style with middling results, so if you listened to those and didn't like em, this has what you want. For the sake of comparison, I went back and listened to a few cuts from that aforementioned album about sweet tasting head bones and the main difference is that this newer album is warmer, the riffs seem to vary a tiny little bit more within songs and the whole thing is FAR less reliant on reverb. Reverb is still here, it's just not super overwhelming anymore. In that sense, this newer one is probably the more enjoyable of the two, and this seems like it'd be killer to get lost in live.

I wonder if this dude has actually tried datura, because if he has what the fuck
