Album Review: Tricky - Fall to Pieces

Ulysses Luevano

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.

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: St. Vincent- Daddy's Home

Daddy's Home is the sixth studio full-length album by American artist St. Vincent, it was released on May 14, 2021.  Daddy’s Home  may lack the more exhilarating, guitar-shredding moments of some of Clark’s earlier work, but it’s possibly her best, most considered modern album to date.  Daddy’s Home feels like a complex yet real moment for St. Vincent. Consistently captivating, it gazes into the future but through an authentic homage to the alt-funk and psychedelic soul of the 1970's.  The lived -in, sleazy shimmer, fiery Wurlitzer and crescendos, melodies that take up rent in your mind for days on end, lyrics that personally bring us in to reflect and relate it's all a testament to St Vincent's well-realised artistic vision and musical chops. I was immediately intrigued by the crunchy guitars and body image themes that have become a staple of Annie Clark's work.  While she has evolved as an artist since her early projects.  Annie Clark's voice is often res...

Glove released a new single called Behaviour, and also their previous singles called Personality Change and Enervate. go check their music on all the music platforms. Glove is releasing a new debut studio album, it's in the works, Glove is an exciting four-piece New wave/Post-Punk American band originate from Tampa, Florida. They’re a young group of individuals, got retro 80's feel, and are a group of new musical creators making music that range both Post-Punk, New Wave, and Proto-Rock. They’re definitely a band with synthesizers, but not a synth-group. Let’s be clear. I hear vintage nostalgia musical influences crawling in from the likes of Gary Numan, New Order, The B-52s, Devo, Can and Neu!, Glove, founded by Rod Woolf and Brie Denicourt, was the beginning of a new project after parting ways from their old band called Veiny Hands. Shortly after their band formation, mutual friend Michelle Primiani joined in as their synthesist. With a few temporary bassists coming and going ...
