Tagged by @1drink1jou to do rainbow albums!!

❤️ Heartland - Owen Pallett [soft & melodic baroque pop - a shock of cold, a choppy wave, a never-nearing shore, and a narrator to tell it all] xxx

🧡 LAUGHINGFISH - Black Dresses [moody, experimental, electronic... self-reflection in an abandoned warehouse - her heart or your guts in the grinder?] xxx

💛 Contempt! - Slim Twig ["...distorted vignettes that reverberate and writhe under the weight of the consciences of their sordid characters..."]* ooo

💚 Civilian - Wye Oak [Melancholy indie rock drags you naked through shallow waters, and all the feelings that inspires] xxx

💙 Hot Show - Prozzak [it's not that deep, spend five minutes looking up the fictional band lore and become grateful that the gorillaz never stooped this low; anyway, I love them] ooo

💜 Carousel (An Examination of the Shadow, Creekflow, and its Life as an Afterthought) - Vylet Pony [best album you've never heard, I refuse to categorize it for you] xxx

🩷 April Fools - The Scary Jokes [giddy, nervous earnesty shared through a tin can telephone] xxx

🖤 Half Way Home - Angel Olsen [alternative country, haunting indie folk, longing made tangible, made heart-shattering, a sobbing lament hurled at the wall that echoes through the trees...] xxx

🤎 Turning Rocks - Thus Owls [as above, so here, but told as tale, as bitter detail, as chilling wind... with all the gravitas of the mountain] xxx

Honourable Mention:

🤍 Self-titled album from Timber Timbre [</3] xxx

I'm tagging @jokerxmadness and @petitjazzboy and you :3 G00D LUCK

7/10 canadian bands, that's uncouth

I mean I could've gone really hard rainbow with this, but mostly I wanted to give good reccommendations for music I genuinely love... so forgive the very loose colour matching~

It was fun to take this prompt to its tumblristic extreme and have some fun trying to earnestly descibe these albums. Hopefully I've done them any amount of justice

Really bummed to learn through doing this that Taylor Kirk of Timber Timbre passed away suddenly last week... It feels wrong to say nothing but words feel cheap. I dunno... really influenced my trajectory and was a musician I loved with someone very special to me so... Well, 11:11, wishing all who knew him well and rest in peace.
