Album Review: King Krule - Man Alive!

Ulysses Luevano
Man Alive! is the fourth album by English singer-songwriter Archy Marshall, and his third album under the stage name King Krule, The album was released on 21 February 2020. The melancholy crooner vocals. Another outstanding album from him. The production sounds a bit on the lower bass end compared to past records. it’s still got a nice, rainy-day vibe to it.  Almost put you into somewhat of a trance. I think this is a good follow up to the ooz. (Don't let the Dragon) Draag On is the first single to kick off the album. I rate this album 8/10.

Album Review: Molchat Doma - Monument

Monument is the third full-length studio album by Belarusian post-punk band Molchat Doma. it was released on November 13, 2020. It was recorded in their hometown of Minsk, Belarus in the midst of the Covid-19 global   pandemic which caused the cancelation of their 2020 tour. I love how each song in this has its own memorable tune to it and it's just a beautiful experience listening to it.  and you can just tell how much effort and passion there is in them. It stands at the intersection of post-punk, new-wave, and synth-pop. Dark yet danceable, and with a substantial dose of goth quintessence, their music is reminiscent of the masters that predate them, but make no mistake: Molchat Doma creates a sound and meaning that is immediately recognizable as all their own.  Every album hits me differently. this album is special you can really hear 80s revival influence, Another legendry masterpiece is rising, t heir greatest s...

Album Review: Tricky - Fall to Pieces

Fall to Pieces is the fourteenth studio full-length album by trip-hop musician Tricky, it was released on September 4, 2020. it's featuring special guest appearances Marta and Oh. Land.  Warning though, this set of songs is ineffable. If you like complexity and dense unexpected rhythms and melodic twists, this isn't for you.  It is moody, plangent and slightly dark but also  aesthetic .  It is also deceptively simple moving music,  saving grace is it's an earnestness to evolve and grow is more palpable than anything I've heard from any post-trip-hop act. A wonderful piece of music,   I didn't expect this to turn out this good in today's underground platform, I highly recommend this record who enjoy this type of music genre, it translates privation into an instant of nauseatingly raw exposed emotion in this entire record, I rate this album solid 9/10.

Spell #6 is the seventh studio album by Part-Time, which was fronted by based musician David Loca. It was released on November 2, 2018, Show his pop/indie rock proficiency while adding new elements while maintaining the quality, but also very original at the same time. Truly great album.  Most  Notably Ariel Pink, who makes a guest appearance on lead single,  I Can Treat You Better.   The entire record has romantic  gestures and an unrequited love vibe. I rate this album 10/10 .
