Notes

Starting out with some very catchy and straight up indie rock with Wet Leg. Added because of what I thought were cheeky lyrics.

Somehow found my way to Squid. Exactly what I wanted to hear at the time, which was more unorthodox melodies, rhythms, and a rippin’ bass tone.

First instance of music by Pip Blom, but not the last. What grabs me is the sense of laziness and melody.

I think Big Brave was the result of listening to a lot of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and their music got recommended to me. I am definitely in the mood for these sprawling, and leviathanous guitar arrangements.

Also very excited with my discovery of FACS. They are like a sludgier version of Foals, and I have no qualms about that musical direction.

I think things are starting to get heavier, and I am all for this abyssal exploration. Chat Pile stood out with its frenetic digging rock bassline.

Wow. When the music of Kowloon Walled City came on, I had to pause. This is the kind of hardcore, punk, no-wave rock that puts me in a tizzy. I cannot think straight when something like this comes on. It is as if a dome of sonic dissolution surrounds me and I lose myself to the ether.

More FACS and Pip Blom comes on, but not after I heard the Kowloon Walled City album, Piecework in its entirety. Nevertheless, more music by FACS makes you feel like you’re being rear-ended by the apocalypse.

Ending on Signal From The Noise which is not an arrangement I was expecting from BADBADNOTGOOD, but does an incredible job rounding out the form and formless noise of this week’s playlist.
