This band I would really consider indie. All their songs are so short, like just a manifestation of a small idea. It's like their texting you on their albums. That is further perpetuated by their nondescript and subtle song titles. But what about the music itself?

This particular song is quite rambunctious, it sounds like a constant wall of sound. The guitar rings so much and drowns out a lot of the other instruments. The song itself is a dialogue spoken from the perspective of a goldfish, whose entire life is just water, and it just seems normal. You're going to have to watch that video because it's pretty compelling and profound. I guess in that sense, the instrumentation is mixed in a way to seem like you're drowning in that sound? Everything sort of blends together, including the verses and choruses. And just like that, the song is ended.

Rating: 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
