Notes

A bit of a quiet listening week today as I spent more of my free time watching the anime, Eighty-Six, after it was recommended by Youtuber, Mother’s Basement.

I suppose the week started normal enough, when I was recommended the free flowing Seek Refuge. I do recommend checking out the rest of the album.

I was also interested in more of Anita Mui’s music after I watched the first episode of the singer’s biopic. Mui is played by Louise Wong in this depiction.

Came across the new track by Burial and Four Tet, and it is a very tasty addition.

Three Friends came on after I put on a Brand X album, and the song got recommended to me. I added it for the Pink Floyd psychedelic vibes, and I am starting to wonder why I did not listen to more music by Gentle Giant this past week.

3分29秒 is the opening track to season one of Eighty-Six. It is very attention grabbing, and a fluster of energy. I did enjoy listening to this one.

アルケミラ (Alchemilla) is the closing track to season two of Eighty-Six. I am not sure why the vocal performance is off-pitch, but it kind of works in that it conveys that absurdity of what the characters of the Eighty-Six anime go through. However, I did like the way the singer sang the oyatsumi line. Might be an acquired taste.

Hibana is the closing track to season one of Golden Kamuy, another anime that I am watching. I suppose I added this only because it has been what I have been listening to this week. It is a pretty by the numbers post-hardcore Japanese rock number.

Midnight Blues features a pleasant, repeating baritone guitar line. It came on after the fragments EP by Rachika Nayar had finished playing.
