Although they aren't my favorite bands when it comes to this type of intense singing and instrumental music, they certainly have a knack for appearing both interesting aesthetically and musically.

I admire the structured composition, consisting of distinct sections to pace and add a journey through the listen. Although, some are more put together than others. The singer reminds me of Kermit the Frog sometimes, but that's just a quirky detail personal to maybe just me. Otherwise, I am a fan of the instrumentals that are evidently not quite as overbearing compared to other pieces within the same genre. Oftentimes it just feels like a solid wall of notes without care for the pauses in between. Not so much the problem here.

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
