As timid as this song is, it's just refreshing to hear someone sing so intimately and raw. Whoever put together that drum set has a good taste and understanding of this type of genre. The ride is so crisp and sustains an attack for SO long that it sounds like they're using a brush. They might have a chain attached to it, now that I think about it.

Although it's not the most catchy thing (I actually want it to transition a certain way but then it doesn't), I think it's hits the spot when it comes to a rainy day and you're feeling down in the dumps. It's analogous to soup weather but for songs.

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
