Day 799: Saint Cloud by Waxahatchee

Is that a Venture Bros reference? The boomers at Pitchfork called this the second best album of the year, after that Fiona Apple album that I liked just fine but wouldn't call outstanding at this point or anything.

This is nowhere near as good as that album. I truly don't understand how this could be the second best album of the year. It's, like, fine...

Best Track: The Eye

Day 800: Songs by Adrianne Lenker

Another Pitchfork top album of the year.

Another meh.

Best Track: Feh.

Day 801: Meet The Woo 2 by Pop Smoke (Album Choice: Hazel H.)

This is about half as long as that last one I released which is I guess why it's a mixtape and not an album. Yet for a mixtape, this feels way less cobbled together and more cohesive. And I think the songs are better.

Best Track: Dior

Check out a girl rap-star known as
"LoloDaBoss", if you haven't already, Rayword.

Also give the song "Rolling 50 Deep" by DJ Kayslay
a watch and let us know what ya think.

Day 802: Hundred Acre Wrist Hosted by DJ Sorrow by Sematary & Ghost Mountain

Longass title, confusing lineup, confusing music...

Am I a boomer now? I truly don't understand this shit at all. Is this the future of zoomer music? Because I'm a zoomer and this shit makes me feel old.

Best Track: it all sounds the fucking same

beep boop big unranked year end chart behind the link


you've reviewed a bunch of these already, but would love to see your takes on a few of them, mostly meitei, gallery s, zora jones, jean dawson, tim reaper and jockstrap.

as for things you've already reviewed,

re: some of the more ~zoomer~ adjacent things you've reviewed this year: zoomer music peaked this year with this, pulling from the soundcloud glitchcore scene and dogshow records stuff that has blown up in the 1000 gecs wake. some features dont land super hard but the super collaborative online spirit is here in full force. (and while u reviewed the food house record idk if you heard thos moser, which blows everything on that project out of the water)

re: bladee: 333 is boring but i really enjoy exeter, maybe you'd like that one more?

re: jessie ware: what's your pleasure is my definite AOTY, was glad to see u give it a 9! was huge on every single during this album rollout and when the rest of the album was same quality it was a lock. AOTY and maybe my favorite full length since CRJ's Emotion in 2015.

re: ichiko aoba: i dont love it as much as 2018s qp or 2013s 0 but i see why this blew up so hard on rym. ichiko aoba already had a really decent following on there (as far as japanese language artists go) and when they redid their sorting algorithm on there earlier this year 0 shot up to first place of 2013 bringing in a lot of new fans. that combined with this being her lushest production to date and day 1 buzz from fans giving it a high chart debut definitely helped. its definitely good but a confluence of factors i think led to its strong chart performance. i still really love it myself, but hope it encourages other ppl to check out her earlier work.

re: new avalanches: this was kind of a disappointment for me but im glad others are really enjoying it. wildflower is an all time favorite and since i left you isnt far behind. there are some major hits (born to die has been on loop since the album dropped) but little with it has stuck with me after 4 listens and the features are wiiiiiildly inconsistent for me. we'll see what i think in like a year though, havent had a ton of time to spend with this one yet.

Day 803: Charmed by DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ

I was really really enjoying this at first, felt like a nice mix of future funk, house music and just general nostalgia aesthetic, then by the halfway point I was like "why is this still going on and on and on?"

Best Track: suck my dick

Day 804: Bob's Son: R.A.P. Ferreira in the Garden Level Cafe of the Scallops Hotel by R.A.P. Ferreira

I've gotta be honest guys, although I've given him fair ratings I've always thought this guy was a bit overrated.

This, however, is HEAT. I think a shorter runtime works wonders for this guy's style when it comes to cohesive projects, as I loved every second of this and fell immediately into it's atmosphere and just, like, world, and when it was over I felt like I wanted MORE.

Also I'm glad he's mostly sticking to his current pseudonym and not releasing more stuff under the name Milo because I'm no longer thinking of Yiannopolopodopoponopolis.

Best Track: Redguard Snipers

Day 805: Whole Lotta Red by Playboi Carti (Album Choice: choof)

In the past my biggest complaint about this guy was that he basically just existed on the beat. It feels like he took heed of similar complaints and instead decided to go full Soundcloud and it SUCKS. Choof I was hoping you were wrong...

Day 806: ROVO by ROVO (Album Choice: aboomer)

This is really dense stuff. Is it jazz? Is it prog rock? Is this a jam band?

Either way, I like it but it's perhaps a bit too wanky feeling for me to really truly fall in love with any of this. Maybe if I was tripping I'd like it a lot more. This reminds me quite a bit of The Comet Is Coming but that release I reviewed was quite a bit tighter.

Best Track: Kamara

Day 807: Lianne La Havas by Lianne La Havas

This is the second thing I've reviewed this year that uses Weird Fishes/Arpeggi as a basis for a track. I saw this on the chart and thought it was the most likely I'd enjoy. And I was right.

Best Track: Sour Flower

Re: Recommend me some 2020 albums halp

What are you most looking forward to this year? I know that Architects are coming out with a new album in a month or so, but I was wondering what you might be looking forward to.
