Even having listened to them before, I'm still so conflicted about how I feel about this band. Their aesthetic is unique I guess, but something in me can't get over the unironic, unapologetic weeb culture. It's not that I hate it, I just don't relate with being on that level. Definitely check out their other song, I Don't Care Where I Belong. I wish they made more stuff like that. 

 This newest song takes hints from it, but strays a little too far from God's light. I enjoy almost exactly half of the song, specifically the chorus (if you could even call it that). Something about their music that I can only faintly describe is the way their lyrics flow. It feels like the melody was written before lyrics were added (probably explains the song title to be honest). And no to the rap. It doesn't take away from the song, but really doesn't add much to it. 

Rating: 5.5/10

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
