Day 136: Interlude by Attack Attack! // 4.5

Why is it that, with a metalcore band, you have a random electronic piece in here that belongs on someone else's record? That's the question I asked myself as I began sampling through Attack Attack! 's discography. Their typical material, I'm not too big a fan of. I guess with a song title like Interlude, you'd expect something a little different from the rest of the album. However, something so bizarre like this feels completely out of place.

Still, it's a pretty fun piece to listen to. Of course, it follows most general trends of contemporary electronic trance music and such. I do enjoy the keyboard run around the 1 minute mark that seemingly simulates a breakdown of sorts. Otherwise, it's pretty bland and run-of-the-mill.

Rating: 4.5/10

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
