First album that's stood out to me this year.


I'm gonna try again later because the production seems incredible but the chorus of the first song literally being him complaining about child support was uh, distracting to me

If they don't meet MAEP guidelines, I'll be glad to step in and put together a list in line with my end of the year list.

I guess what I'm saying is: do your best. If you fail... I'll catch you.

soccer mommy, janelle monae, kali uchis and beach house are the only things that've really stood out to me so far this year.

car seat headrest album was surprisingly good but the songs are just too long. also need to give the new malkmus a spin!

the pendant album feels like an endurance test to me and I usually like that sort of thing + huerco s in general

i'll put on the pendant sometimes and be totally not in the mood but the times it's really hit have been incredible. i really love getting lost in it while half-asleep.

pendant's the only thing that's got any ground on nothing 2 loose for me, conjures up a really distinct atmosphere that I like a lot.

i'm assuming most of you are not completing finalised lists yet because the deadline is still a month away but just a friendly reminder to keep them MAEP CG2018.1 compatible if you want to be part of the guide to the first half of 2018
