Elvis Depressedly – “New Alhambra” [2015]

Posted on June 2, 2015 by Very Warm

By and far the standout song from this record in my mind. Slow & melancholy but still contains strains of a catchy pop song. Reminds me of sadder Foxes in Fiction, in a way.

Dan Lambert – “Charley Town”

Posted on May 3, 2015 by Very Warm

I just discovered the treasure trove of reissued goodness that is Numero Group Records, which is a label based in Chicago that focuses on putting out old/forgotten/under-appreciated/unknown cuts of music. What kind of music? That part doesn’t matter, as long … Continue reading →

Weekend – “Oubliette” [2013]

Posted on April 4, 2015 by Very Warm

Sort of an outlier in Weekend’s catalog, at least the beginning and the chorus, since it brings in some really bright, dulcimer tones into the mix. The rest is usual Weekend, with dark, blazing post punk that I love. I … Continue reading →

Chastity Belt – “Joke” [2015]

Posted on April 4, 2015 by Very Warm

Coming in at a perfect time in my life, the new Chastity Belt record is now my go-to record for melodies tainted with jaded melancholy. Downtrodden yet catchy, laid back yet conscious enough to make a witticism or killer riff. … Continue reading →

Kendrick Lamar – “Institutionalized” [2015]

Posted on March 21, 2015 by Very Warm

I don’t really have the time to properly articulate my own words to describe my feelings toward this album, but in basic terms, it’s by and far a massive landmark in the realm of modern music as a whole, not … Continue reading →
