Empress Of doesn't stick for me, not sure why. I'll check out the ones I don't know tho, here for bleep bloop music.

She’s not everyone’s style.

Yeah when I saw the Frank O comparisons I was shocked at how accurate they were :rip: really makes it hard to listen to him (or at least that respective album). Daisy is cute but there was another song on the album that stuck out to me more since it was one of the few that didn't sound so much like Frank lol

Heaven's Only Wishful was smooth, agree there! A great intro track to his EP.

Short Court Style was a major bop :clap3: (though I chose a different song for my countdown).

Hopefully Choker can get some of his own personality for his next album instead of biting.

Not you stanning for Pristin V :eek:

What are your fave Kpop groups?

 

I really liked Object in 2014 but didn't listen to him this year.

Everything To Me is not as good as it should be but it isn't bad.

 

 

I am listening to the Westerman song and I like it.

125. Caroline Rose - Soul No. 5 (Indie Rock/Indie Pop)

 

Image result for caroline rose loner

 

I wonder what the four other versions sounded like. Caroline is new to me but I like her early year single. Shes does the "pop disguised as an indie rock song" thing pretty well.  Move over Courtney Barnett. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

124. Emma Ruth Rundle - Light Song (Dream Pop/Darkwave)

 

Image result for emma ruth rundle - on dark horses

 

Brooklyn Baby's darker little sister. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

123.  Oklou - Friendless (Alternative R&B/Ambient Pop)

 

Image result for oklou friendless

 

I wish I liked her ep as much as Friendless. Moments build up to mini bursts of bass/trappy hooks throughout. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

122. Puce Mary - Fragments Of A Lily (Death Industrial)

 

Image result for puce mary the drought

 

Accessible noise with drone layers that can create an atmosphere. Place this as loudly as possible for your neighbors next door. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

121. The Alchemist, Curren$y, Freddie Gibbs - Willie Lloyd (Gangsta Rap)

 

Image result for the alchemist fetti

 

Best Freddie Gibbs song of 2018 and eclipses anything on his mixtape. Curren$y's an underrated dog too. Alchemist continues to prove to be one of the top producers in the industry. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

120. Chief Keef - Bestie (Drill) 

 

Image result for chief keef back from the dead 3

 

Sosa! From Back From The Dead 3, he returns again with another set of unique 'bangers', among them that stands out is Bestie. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

119. Kimbra - Like They Do On The TV (Synthpop/Electropop)

 

Image result for kimbra like they do on the tv

 

Nice drum + synth arrangements, and I like the trans-generational message. The final minute of this song is my favorite part.

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

 

118. Krystal Klear - Neutron Dance (Nu Disco)

 

Image result for krystal klear neutron dance

 

A temporary Todd Terje replacement.

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

117. Against All Logic - Cityfade (Deep House)

*clap your hands along the piano notes* 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

116. Pool Boy - Sad Groove (Balearic Beat/Outsider House)

 

Image result for pool boy pool boy

 

A sunny evening party mood setter. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

115. Famous Dex - Japan (Trap Rap/Pop Rap)

 

Image result for famous dex japan

 

Similarly to Poppy, I don't care for dex as a person/artist. Japan just happens to be a sensation. Catchy hooks and vibrant beats. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

 

114. Still Woozy ft Odie - Lucy (Indie Pop)

 

Image result for still woozy lucy

 

Prime Bedroom Indie Pop playlist choice.

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

113. Daughters - The Reason They Hate Me (Noise Rock)

 

Image result for daughters you won't get what you want

 

A straightforward mix of noise + industrial rock pieces and appropriately paced. I prefer the faster songs like this on their album. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

112. Nine Inch Nails - Over and Out (Industrial Rock)

 

Image result for nine inch nails bad witch

 

Leaving out with a bang. Majority of this song is just a rhythmic instrumental pattern but it's an attractive one. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

111. Fret - Closed Syndicate (Industrial Techno)

 

Image result for fret silent neighbour

 

Crushing, Abrasive, Claustrophobic.

I don't really have favorite groups now per say. It used to be fx (ik basic choice) and Wonder Girls. Objekt's album is alright but I prefer his eps/singles.

Courtney has gotten so boring! and I actually liked her debut in 2015 but now it's whatever.

oop bit behind but I love the Kimbra, Natalie and Empress Of picks :heart2: 

I tried getting into RP Boo but it wasn't for me

Posted

Okay tyhis is a great set & Courtney sucks.

 

Keef... I don't keep up with him anymore but BFTD is still what the rappers of rn wish they could create quality wise.

123.  Oklou - Friendless (Alternative R&B/Ambient Pop)

This is the new song I’m checking out today.

ATRL really loves Kimbra :skull: 

—-

I meant to listen to NIN’s EP but I forgot. I guess I wasn’t that motivated :lmao: 

Posted

Freddie's solo project was disappointing but at least he made up for that with Fetti :clap3: Love those tracks from Natalie Prass, Empress Of (although I wouldn't consider neither Everything to Me nor WIWH my favorite track), A.A.L. and Daughters

Posted

this is my favourite set so far! soul no 5, light song, fragments of a lily, ltdott, cityfade, the reason they hate me, and over and out are all great tracks. i will prob follow that puce mary advice too since the girl who lives next door to me has been playing that hideous yiruma song on the piano for the last week or so.

TV is a bit low but I'll take it. Interesting AAL choice too.

various points were made with this set: soul no. 2, light song, fragments of a lily, the reason they hate me & over and out :clap3:

Posted

Like They Do On the TV is nice :heart2: The last minute is actually my least favorite part :keir: I'm generally not a fan of repetitive outros

Posted (edited)

Just now getting into Sunmi for the first time -- she seems very great. :clap3: Need to get around to that Moses Sunmey EP, too. Listened to Weeknd and Ravyn Lenae but unfortunately didn't find myself returning to them much. Kilo Kish was good, too. Peggy Gou, Hannah Diamond, Silk City, Poppy (that's the only song I have liked by her), Blood Orange, Westerman, RBCF and Kraus are standouts in the songs thus far. :heart2:  Cityfade, too - that song is the reason I returned to AAL this year.

BFTD is kinda his best project huh. I also got into Almighty So earlier this year and loved it.

TV :clap3: 

Songs are songs, which means a combination of both singles and album tracks.

He better further make up for it by releasing Bandana 2 next year.
