decades of music stamps (and some blinkies!) creds under the cut.
The Beaches dropped a new song called Lesbian Of The Year, and I jumped in the air like my team had scored a tense goal, and then as I listened to the song, Leandra Earl has talked about how the song is about coming out later in life and oh my goodness, the about-turn in mood— I didn’t expect to have a little heart wrenching sob! Great song, and quite a change of direction from the last few “life of the party” vibe singles The Beaches have put out. Is this a confession? Idk. I sobbed is the confession, go listen to the Beaches.

New Tyler album is fuckin' sick. Maybe album of the summer. Lots of tracks to dance and party to but the rap isn't nonsensical mailed-in shit like so much other party rap tends to be. Also sounds like there was a Detroit techno/electro influence in some of these, and "I'll Take Care of You" goes straight-up breakbeat 🤤.

"Completely and utterly spellbinding. I said when I heard Ichiko Aoba for the first time two months ago that I felt like I'd already discovered a new favourite artist after hearing just three songs, and this, the first album of hers I've listened to, not only confirms that but has also helped me understand and articulate exactly why. The very best artists, in any medium, have their own sense of gravity - they create universes that are entirely their own and then pull you into them so seamlessly and effortlessly that you barely notice it happening. I don't just hear the music when I listen to this: I see the stars and the small smattering of clouds, I feel the water lapping at my feet, I sense the warmth and stillness of the air. Even when she wanders into ghostly a capella vocal harmonies ("Kirinaki Shima"), or brief ambient interludes ("Chinhaji"), or impressionist instrumental piano pieces ("Parfum d’étoiles"), she never loses that - she has the ability to remind you of Hildegaard von Bingen or Harold Budd or Claude Debussy without ever sounding like anybody but herself, and to wander into all of these genres without ever sounding like she's deviating that much from her singer/songwriter, one-woman-and-her-guitar foundations
...Adan no kaze is not a work I want to compare with other albums - I want to compare it to a book I can't put down, a film that I couldn't take me eyes off, a TV show that keeps me wondering about the possible fate of its characters for hours after I've stopped watching it, a painting that strikes you so deeply that you feel like you can see beyond the frame and into the entire world surrounding it. Just sensational, bewitching, life-affirming, wonderful music." - RYM user Iai
