Day 281: Burn It Down by Daughter // 5

All right, now let's catch up with the Daughter band I actually know. I've seen them in concert before, funnily enough. Although they are a female-led indie band (which has interested me in the past), they haven't ever really pulled me into their music. The production itself is great, but the vocals just fall flat for me. It's a little to plain and insubstantial. After listening to this song once, I feel like I don't have much I'd like to return to. They vocals feel a bit sluggish, which contrasts for a loss with the bombastic drums and guitar. If I were to listen to this song again, I imagine it would be in a hip, millennial commercial. Maybe like an iPhone commercial or something.

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
