Day 245: Circles by Post Malone // 5

Wow, this was not quite exactly what I was expecting. My last impression of Post Malone was this rap hip-hop fad. However, I do know in his history that's been a fan of a whole bunch of things. I guess you could say that we had very similar tastes in music. We just generally like music across various genres. And I respect him a lot for branching out his interests. The music video I have to watch some time later. It looks ridiculous and hilarious.

Circles feels a lot more poppy, almost like Katy Perry had a helping hand in writing it. The snappy bass line is shines through all the production, but everything else to feels a bit plain. I would describe it as a sugar donut. It's a plain donut, with the mildest topping. Still sweet, but there are better things out there.

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
