Day 211: My Hero by Foo Fighters // 6.5

Image result for the colour and the shapeGENRE: rock
With the wide variety of music we listen to nowadays, not a lot of people stay as consistent to a genre as much as Foo Fighters do. If you were to look in the dictionary for the definition of rock, you'd find a picture them (maybe, it's just a joke after all).

They have a knack for writing melodies, especially in this piece. Paired for Dave Grohl's grungy, raspy, fierce voice, and you've got a unique sound that has understandably spanned the past three decades. The lyrics are a bit on the simpler side, but this song is supposed to be more like an anthem than anything. And honestly, they don't need to change much to this song. It's just simple and well-written for the style that it's shooting for. Although, it is a bit slower for my tastes.

Rating: 6.5/10

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
