Chorus.fm Record of the Week Club • Page 20

this album puts a big old smile on my face and I’m not mad at it

 

just finished the album up

what a beautiful experience I almost certainly would’ve never had without this club

 

This is such a trip, i used to love this album and completely forgot about her. Even her name didn’t ring a bell. But as soon as the first song hit I was like oh shiiiitttt.

 

The Caroline Smith album is really good! She has a gorgeous voice. Loved the energy in Buy Me Something, that was really cool. Gonna be throwing this on a lot I think

 

This album is a delight so far. Really dig the lightly rumbling bass underneath.

And the new Maxwell Stern single is actually excellent @troyplaysbass

 

as an aside, I love this thread but I may have two or three more rounds left in me.

 

I think my pick may kill the thread dead.

 

Bloodstyle is such a cracking little opener. I keep coming back to it.

 

the real ones just know, turns out

 

This is a really nice listen. Her voice is spectacular and the production is really tight. Definitely going to be spinning this more.

 

@JM95 its your pick I believe

 

thanks bud

I fumbled today

 

Of the two I had in mind, I've opted for the weird one: my pick is Dream Sequins by Nmesh.

Someone introduced me to Nmesh during the pandemic via his outstanding split with telepath, The Path to Lost Eden. I got acquainted with Dream Sequins shortly after.

Put briefly, many albums are described as dreamlike but none of them capture the stitched-together strangeness of dreams like this record. Thick and hazy like a drone record but more; sample-heavy like a vaporwave record but with a much greater quality for composition and detail. Little moments -- I can only call them moments -- appear and then vanish as if they maybe never were, and these moments colour its hefty, blissful 80 minutes into my favourite hypnagogic record of all time.

 

going in

I know it’ll be good

 

yup this is some pretty weird shit

 

Love that I may have gone too weird even for @angrycandy

 

never said I didn’t like it tho

and thank you. I consider that a compliment

 

“Favorite Places” is my favorite song so far. pretty sprawling in its approach

 

The closer is the most controversial track on the record.

 

the dissonance definitely seems to ramp up a bit with every song

 

reached the final track

 

Very interested in this one. Maybe I'll throw it one before bed while I play some Switch.

 

Ronald McDonald sample took me by surprise

 

not sure I would do that lol

 

might lead to many a nightmare
