Album Review: Eyedress - Mulholland Drive

Image
Mullholland Drive is the fourth studio full-length album by Filipino Musician Eyedress, It was released on August 27, 2021. This sounds exactly like some Jangle, Post Punk, Indie Pop that was dropped in the early 2010's era. Except for the songs on this are a lot more shorter and underdeveloped and dreary. It's a cool sound I enjoy, but I just feel like if they experiment a bit, It's a solid album.  Between the retro laser synthesizer sound on ‘Brain Dead’ and the gothic guitar post-punk riffs of ‘Spit On Your Grave.  This album is about loving yourself and your life,  he continues while talking about where he’s at in his career and the message he wants to spread with his project. And the forthcoming album is as sympathetic of an offering as anyone could possibly hope for. Eyedress continuing to show off his artistic range throughout the album. Overall,  Lyricism tends to grow on me, but not the music, though certain types of music take some time to recognize. I rate this a

The Forgotten Edge is an debut e xtended play by Australian Musician Molly Lewis, It was released on July 2, 2021.  In the most literal sense globally renowned whistler Molly Lewis makes her gorgeous and curious compositions out of thin air.

Album Review: Clan of Xymox - Limbo

Limbo is  seventeen studio full-length album by the Dutch gothic rock band Clan of Xymox, It was released on July 23, 2021.  Legendary goth rock band Clan of Xymox returns with a stunning new album. As 2020 saw the world shut down, and Clan of Xymox unable to tour, the band began crafting new material, influenced by the pandemic. Limbo is a  triumph  of modern goth rock, expanding the signature Clan of Xymox sound to create a captivating take on this moment in our history.  Dark & intimate, It has made the act adored around the world.  Unsettling because the record strongly echoes the New wave and sounds like a celebration that renunciates its splendor.  I realized this band was the origin of that genre known as "Darkwave." Darkwave is goth music but with less of a rock angle and more emphasis placed upon melody or ambiance.  A beautiful well-put album by our beloved darkwave band known as clan of xymox. The melancholic vocals and dark goth beats they put together is trul
