Again, just one of the smaller artists that I think is important to support. She does it all, producing the beats, putting together a cultural blend of lyrics, and overall composing a coherent piece that would fit at a post-electronic club.

This song in particular is pretty representative of the rest of her music, inducing dream-like stances and daygazing atmospheres. The somber piano riff loops without getting too repetitive, and usually I'm not a fan of that type of musical
technique. It's the right amount of busy when it comes to listening on repeat. Her singing and rapping don't get in the way either, and really they don't get featured at all if anything. The entire piece feels like a melting pot of ideas and contemplative emotions. Overall, it's certainly not something to really dive into. It would likely fit in the "chill lo-fi beats to study/sleep to".

Rating 6.5/10

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
