Image result for odham's standardGENRE: experimental, atmospheric 
I'm not always too excited to be venturing out into music that gives an impression of being old but not a classic. I ventured into my recommended and came upon what felt like a haunting and lonesome experience. A lack of words, a lack of structure, and really a lack of theme that I've found makes for a sobering reflection. I imagine as if the artist was presenting to us a mirror by way of this song. I could see some substance to that argument going off of the creepy album cover. It begs for a deeper dive into who the artist is, especially when they haven't put out anything since 2014. Either way, this piece really does fit itself into a bigger picture. The album, based on the little I've looked into it, seems to be hitting the same vein when it comes to mood and atmosphere, and what the artist is trying to evoke from you. I dig.

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
