Hell yeah I'm going to write about another one of her songs. At the slight inconvenience of having to figure out the spelling of her name again, I will gladly write about this song that seems to be on par with her other songs. I especially like this one because of how effective it is with its length. And really, I want to take a moment to praise the album in general. It's really a coherent and great album overall, with inklings of folk and indie all throughout.

This song in particular progresses and develops really well. You get strong themes through guitar riffs, parallel melodies in Haley's voice, and her knack for songwriting. I am also partial to the pace aroudn 2 minutes in, which I've been waiting to her from her. Yes, she's usually a more somber and mellow indie artist, but the rugged sections are what make this song special. Breaks in between really give you time to absorb and think.

Rating: 8/10

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

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
