This band is weird af. BUT, I like a little bit of quirky every now and then. Disclaimer: you kind of have to watch the music video that accompanies this song. It doesn't mean the song itself is bad, but the context makes so much more sense. 

 I haven't listened to metal like this in a long time. Closest band I can recall is 3 Inches of Blood. Nonetheless, Nekrogoblikon takes those concepts and adds a twist. The story takes place in a modern world (excluding the goblin of course), and speaks of deeper, personal struggles. The jarring juxtaposition is hilarious to me. It's relatable, yet ludicrous. And I love the song so much for it.

Rating: 8.5/10

GENRE: electronic I regarded FKA Twigs  as a more experimental electronic, modern artist. Today's song feels quite grounded in conventional techniques. Nothing stands out to me as groundbreaking or pushing the boundaries of the genre. I did not expect someone else to be featured on this album either. Unfortunately it doesn't add up to much on the album. In the best case scenario, it adds to the already plain and monotonous sound. Rating: 4/10

Day 309: White Gloves by Khruangbin // 5

GENRE: indie I can't quite my finger on why I find this three-piece so alluring. They've got a style to them that evokes a carefree sensibility. That much can be seen in their song, White Gloves . Apparently it's part their first album to feature vocals, and it's a welcome addition to the canvas. No one instrument stands out any farther and more unique than the others. Each instrument is featured and mixed pretty evenly, giving me a sense of noiselessness and soothing comfort. However, I think part of that plays against their favor. It plays more like a lo-fi ditty than a fully realized song. At about 3 and a half minutes, I would expect a bit more to be fleshed out. Rating: 5/10
