Oh, I should've checked in more often. Kero Kero Bonito snuck by and released a whole EP, even when I had caught their single when it first released. On this EP, they continue to innovate their sound, transforming it to be both more mature and more in line with their aesthetic and style. You get techno sounds with emotional synths, quirky samples, laden across like an intricate painting. They've done it again.

Day 111: Baybee by Jay Som // 7

GENRE: indie pop Following along the vein that is bedroom pop and atmospheric, nebulous indie singers, we find ourselves with Baybee. Compared to other songs that fall under this umbrella, the guitar work is more prevalent, which I can really appreciate. Otherwise, it's a by the books song consistent with the genre. There are a few cool elements here and there that involve the drums and guitars, but other than that, I don't foresee any particularly memorable phrases from this song. In short, it came and went. I enjoyed it though. Rating: 7/10

GENRE: chill, jazz Well, sometimes you get the funniest surprises when listening to music. I never knew that Final Fantasy XIII-2 would have an OST PLUS. The PLUS soundtrack includes a bunch of demos and extra soundtracks that never made it into the game, this being one of them. I mean, just look at the title. It looks like they didn't even give it a nicely wrapped name, it has a tag at the end of it! Anyway, the song itself I've heard, but this sort of twist on it, I haven't. It was quite a surprise to me at first, because it perfectly fits the general tone of the song. It's melancholic, sorrowful, and the soft jazz undertones really reflect and add a different color to this song. I'm digging this take on it. It's absolutely the type of song you would put on for a long night drive home or something. Rating: 7/10
