Weekly Winners, week of 1/17/21 - 1/23/21

 Not a whole lot this week. Listened to some current releases sure but had a lot of catch up records on my list this week. Speaking of, been really sleeping on Shrezzers and The Dirty Nill. To get into this week though, I do have some singles I’d like to throw your way below.

Bicep - Saku (feat. Clara la San) (Ninja Tune)

Irish electronic duo Bicep put out their new record Isles this week but the track that really stood out to me is “Saku.” Very nice ambient/ethereal track if you’re into that type of thing.

3OH!3 - I’M SO SAD (Photo Finish Records)

3OH!3 continues to ride the wave of this “””return””” (They didn’t go anywhere but anything to get that sweet click bait I suppose) and shockingly do well with every single on the cycle. This is the third of these so far and I’m actually starting to look forward to the album if that’s what it’s leading up to.

Architects - Dead Butterflies (Epitaph)

Another band shocking me on their album cycle. I am 100% always up for a genre change if that’s what artists are feeling. Can’t put everyone into a tiny box all the time. That being said I’ve never been an Architects fan at all. For Those Who Wish to Exist is only about a month away and with this track I feel it’s really shaping up.


Artemis Rising - Petrichor

Another metal adjacent track to show you, this one more for the folks who like things like The Word Alive’s more modern sound. The singer here even sounds very Telle in a lot of ways.


Jetty Bones - That’s All (Rise Records)

Jetty Bones is a name I’ve seen float around many pop punk related circles surrounding bands I was already a fan of but I just never dove in. This is a short acoustic, almost country vibe song about talking through relationship issues that really won me over fast. Might just go back and see what I’ve missed.


Other Tracks

3LAU - Everything (feat. Funkin Matt & Frawley)

ChillPill - LiLBiTcH (feat. Rico Nasty & Soleima) (Atlantic Records)

I DON’T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME - Leave Me Alone (piano version) Fearless Records

PhaseOne - Enemy (feat. Shane Told) (Disciple)

Weezer - All My Favorite Songs (Warner)

Best of Month: The top 25 songs of the year

Hi, it’s me, it’s Claudia, and today I’m going to do something I haven’t done yet. So every year I do the top ten singles of the year, but I don’t actually even listen to singles anymore. Unless I know they’re going to be singles, like on their own, otherwise I feel like they’re spoiling the record for me. This year I thought it’d be fun to broadcast my top twenty-five songs of the year because I do this every year for friends, mainly myself, but now it can be content. So, this won’t be a highly produced blog post and instead be very casual but hopefully you’ll get something out of it. If you’re coming from Reddit read the link below before leaving any comments for me on here or Reddit itself and let’s get started. Also, quick note. Some of these did not come out this year but are on records released this year. In those cases, assume I haven't heard the track till this year. Coming from Reddit? Start here! #25 “Glow in the Dark” by Mothica is from Rocksmith+ but it's also just

Best of Month; the Top 10 Albums of 2023

Image
2023 has come to a close and it was a lot to unpack. After relocating last year I had to figure out what to do next, admittedly a scarier process than moving itself. I’ve settled in now, changes have gone on, there were a lot of hard times and a lot of great memories made throughout the year. You may have noticed, if you’re a long-time reader, I was far less open about my own personal life in my reviews. If you’re new and this is your first year here, then hey you never knew this part of the blog. In these blurbs there are personal anecdotes, but they are far less revealing. Regardless, thank you for even clicking here. This year for my own writing was possibly the best yet. I reviewed more albums in one year than ever before and worked with ten artists to promote their stuff before the release date. If all the stars align there’s one more thing coming out this year. I hope you had a great year yourself, are having a relaxing holiday season and enjoy this recap of albums. Please suppor

Best of Month: The final reviews of the year

Best of Month! We wrote so many reviews this year there were a ton leftover. So, to open the year end stuff this year, we're emptying the vault. There are a few pre-requisites for reading this year (but only if you came from Reddit) So look for that below. From Reddit? Start here! Rat Jesu - Prepared to Die (Drixxo Lords) I have been a pretty public cybergrind defender on the timeline, but in all honesty I haven’t dug into the genre on my own time. I’m not sure if you would consider Rat Jesu cybergrind but they’re definitely part of the movement, in fact I came to this record by following this artist from a feature on the newest Blind Equation. As I said above, Prepared to Die isn’t so much cybergrind but it is a neat, quick nu metal record with hyperpop influence. James from Blind Equation does show up as a feature and the song he’s on is a hit regardless of genre. My favorite track on the record, however, has got to be “Priestess of the Godless Valley,” There are two other featur
