Day 220: dozy dozy by J Rabbit // 7

Now this is what I call cafe music. Music that you can zone out to, but really only because I don't understand the lyrics. My favorite interval drop occurs around 38 seconds, where you really know it's jazz. It kind of tricks you in the beginning, playing around very harmonious and satisfying chords, before dropping into a more upbeat, poppy, jazzy cadence. It's quite intimate, consisting of only a piano, a guitar, a singer, and some auxiliary instruments trickling in here and there. That being said, there aren't exactly impactful moments, and rather goes for a structure that feels like floating, or surfing along a wave.

Although it's not the most complicated piece out there, it fulfills a certain niche that everyone needs to explore sometimes.

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

Day 311: holy terrain by FKA twigs // 4

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
