Taking a step back, we look at something more calm and serendipitous. I want to take a look at this song from the context of what it is trying to achieve. It's not meant to develop all too much throughout the song, much less embrace a melody or larger song structure. Personally, I think some songs can do it well. Late Night Voyages in my mind conveys a luminescent, coherent soundscape. It never traverses strays too far from the working formula, and adds tinges of instrumental artistry to further the vision. Honestly, it's just a background song. I shouldn't be diving too deep into it. For lack of a comparison, it gives strong vibes of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Knowing me, that's a good thing.

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

Day 311: holy terrain by FKA twigs // 4

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
