There's something to be said when a rap song is incredibly clean, well-written, thematic, and important. That something is this song by a rapper I haven't heard of yet. I will say, the backing track is nothing to yell about. The star of the show is in the lyrical content and the expressiveness of Dax. I guess in a way, it forces you to listen to the message more so than the instrumentation. When it comes to this song though, I believe that may be to its benefit.

Dax explores the hypocrisies and fallacies of religion in this song with emotional detail. Although, this type of content isn't something we haven't heard about before. Frankly, it's all pretty high-level and comes from a more personal perspective. I liked it at first, but listening to it again there's not quite as much depth as I would like. With the empty backing track, I only feel that sentiment even more.

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
