Album Review: Caleb Landry Jones - Gadzooks Vol. 1

Image
Gadzooks Vol. 1 is the second full-length album by American musician/actor Caleb Landry Jones, it was released on  September 24, 2021.  The disgusting beauty of your portrayal of the alternative is wonderful, but I feel that a greater experience could be accomplished with a bit of a storyline. Either way, absolutely enjoyed this piece of art. The same could be said about his music endeavors. Last year, his debut album the mother stone  landed like an uncanny UFO and was met with an overall positive  foundation , but nobody expected him to take another shot, at least not this soon. this record takes you to another dimension, I can definitely hear his musical influence in this entire album, a nice mixture of early Syd Barret and The Beatles Mystery magical tour era and Some Pink Floyd dark side of the moon, t he instrumentals, and Jones's vocals are very impressive and well done and the composition changes feel very surreal and k eep the slow and long runtime feel...

Album Review: Angel Olsen - Aisles

Image
Aisles is a brand new ep by American singer Angel Olsen, it was released on August 20, 2021. ‘Aisles’ continues this direction, taking on a concatenation of covers of ’80s classic,  is a simple concept, executed spectacularly.  Olsen knows how to style herself into any specific era, 'Aisles' proves once again the powerhouse that she is as an artist, the versatility, the ability to adapt to pretty much any genre (it's a talent only a few have). Honestly, I loved her take in these iconic 80's songs, she made them even more dramatic if that's even possible, I love this woman to death.  A fun, half-serious collection that turns the tunes into more experimental, artful versions of their former selves, and I have to say, I'm loving the result.    but they're good enough for me to say a couple of them are some of the greatest covers in recent years: "If You Leave" has some gorgeous arrangements, while "Forever Young"'s vocals are extraordina...

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 ...

Album Review: Molly Lewis - The Forgotten Edge

Image
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. New entrees into the Exotica canon sprawling would-be Spaghetti Western scores and a dash of Old Hollywood glamour ,   imagine you are in a different era, walking into a jazz club sitting at a table near the stage as the spotlight shines on the wonderful female Exotica Lounge jazz performer, her skin smooth as silk and her dress adorned with crystals shimmering like a crystal ball as she whistles to your ears with a band at the back playing the instruments with seductive alternative jazz music. that's what i see listening to this EP. it depicts film noir into music and her whistles and soft vocals in the back are dainty and captivating, backed by a wonderful instrumental that are just elegant and dazzling. it's kind of a great EP to just p...

Album Review: Clan of Xymox - Limbo

Image
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 be...

Image
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 ...

Album Review: Tyler the Creator - Call Me If You Get Lost

Image
Call Me If You Get Lost  is the sixth studio album by American rapper Tyler the Creator, It was released on June 25, 2021.  Call Me If You Get Lost  is a return to the prominent styles and genres Tyler experimented with in his early career collided and it creates an album with little to no negatives, ending up with something that is on the same level as an IGOR, but with more hardcore raps and a new level of production that Tyler has reached.  Tyler did a great job reminding us who he is on this album.  Great voice and lyricism on his verses throughout the album, whether he's being loud and wild or calm and contemplative. A few 8-10 minute adventures really throw you for a loop in the middle of a sea of 2-3 minute tracks, rapid-fire, and with a constantly changing cast of characters.    I really love how atmospheric, nostalgic and euphoric this album is. The constant between the hot summer vibe to the gritty mafia-sounding hip-hop is truly the icing on...
