Thought I’d start a monthly recap thing on here. Think of this blog as a big net that’s cast over the stream of music that flows through the year and these are the “catches of the day,” in a way. There’s … Continue reading →

Lycus – “Solar Chamber” [2016]

Posted on January 29, 2016 by Very Warm

One new trend that has emerged in my listening habits over the last three years is the blossoming acceptance towards types of metal. This definitely started in 2013 with Deafheaven’s Sunbather and slowly moved forward into realms of doom, sludge and pseudo-black … Continue reading →

Wild Nothing – “To Know You” [2016]

Posted on January 29, 2016 by Very Warm

This song is fantastic, but the chorus really, REALLY reminds me of No Doubt’s version of “It’s My Life.” I’m actually watching that music video for the first time since probably 5th grade when it was on MTV almost every … Continue reading →

Slint – “Ron” [1989]

Posted on January 29, 2016 by Very Warm

Been getting more into Slint’s first record Tweez which is a lot better than I thought it was initially. Sure, Spiderland is almost completely different, but this has its own redeeming qualities, such as the signature Steve Albini production that makes the guitars extremely … Continue reading →

Women – “Eyesore” [2010]

Posted on January 24, 2016 by Very Warm

One of my favorite songs of 2010 & one of my favorite songs of all time. This album came out in my senior year of high school and I remember listening to it and freaking a lot of my friends … Continue reading →

Kedr Livanskiy – “Razrushitelniy Krug” [2016]

Posted on January 20, 2016 by Very Warm

Love this track off of an upcoming EP from Russian electronic pop musician Kedr Livanskiy. The name translates to Lebanese Cedar and the track name translates to “Destructive Cycle.” Instrumental definitely has strains of early Aphex Twin and maybe some … Continue reading →

Beat Connection – “In The Water” [2010]

Posted on January 17, 2016 by Very Warm

Very little can beat that synth texture. Extremely bouncy and luxurious. I started listening to this song right after I moved to Connecticut. Played a lot of Portal to this album.

Four Tet – “Pyramid” [2012]

Posted on January 15, 2016 by Very Warm

This is from Four Tet’s album Pink. I didn’t really get into it as much as There Is Love In You, until about a year or two later. This track slaps. Four Tet has slowly grown into being one of my all-time favorite electronic … Continue reading →

Owen Pallett – “Lewis Takes Off His Shirt” [2010]

Posted on January 14, 2016 by Very Warm

I remember obsessively listening to this song back in 2010. I remember going out and buying the vinyl because I got a record player for Christmas in 2009 and that song alone was enough justification to buy an entire record … Continue reading →
