Although there is room to argue that this song comes off as pretty average, I have a bias towards these kinds of songs that embody fluidity and a chill vibe. I swear I've heard this singer before, and it's really because this type of style is so prominent in the indie scene. One thing I can appreciate though is the use of a dissonant melodic line. The chords themselves are less popular as well, and employ interesting modes to create a unique sound. The slight unorthodox feeling is especially true when the verses feel ad-libbed as well, exploring lines outside of harmony and key. The overall impression makes me wonder if there's an accompanying music video, because it really begs for one.

Again, it's not exactly groundbreaking, but it exudes personality and style that stands out among the more recent songs I've listened to.

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
