Last week in music, 11/7/21 - 11/13/21

Gold Necklace - Gold Necklace (kill iconic)

Pretty much any Kurt Travis band I’m gonna be a bit into based on his talent as a vocalist alone. While I do like the more funk inspired songwriting and approach to this record the overall result isn’t wowing me. I’m gonna hold onto this and see how I feel on repeat listens, however, and I know there’s been a great fan response to this aside.


The Seafloor Cinema - In Cinemascope with Stereosonic Sound (Pure Noise)

This band has had a big year, getting signed to Pure Noise and dropping heat after heat in those singles. This is a great record to cap it all off too. Elements of pop punk and progressive post-hardcore with a lot of genre play in between. Been on repeat this week.



Silk Sonic - An Evening with Silk Sonic (Aftermath / Atlantic)

The long-awaited record finally hits after a year of hit singles between two huge names in their respective genres. Not much to say here except that it’s a great time to listen to and great songs overall. Wish it were a little longer, maybe wish it came out in the summer, but those are the only gripes I can really find.



GILT - In Windows, Through Mirrors (Knifepunch)

A short EP that caught me by surprise. Intense emotional performances and a great band I didn’t really know before. Check it out, it's a fast listen but an intense one.


Most Anticipated Next Week: Between You and Me - Armageddon (Hopeless)

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

Image
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
