I never knew how many of Fleetwood Mac's songs I actually knew. It's the names that give me trouble. I had to do a bit more digging than I usually do in order to find a song I didn't already know. And, what do I arrive at? I find an acoustic, fingerpicking, hollering song with major vibes of the countryside. It's quite minimalist too. The solo guitar takes up a good chunk of the song. The lyrics? You might as well not have them when there are so few of them to begin with. It's a nice little ditty, but nothing special and worth staying for in my opinion. Just a rest stop.

Rating: 5.5/10

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

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
