Stridulum is my favorite thing she’s done so far, so I’m really excited that I’ve been hearing this is sort of a return to that sound, in addition to being excellent.

That’s funny. The Spoils is an awesome album that doesn’t really have any singles on it. Conatus a bit too, although Vessel is a damn good single. Stridulum is pretty much uniformly excellent too, even if Sea Talk is a clear standout just cause it’s so sublime.

That’s exciting to hear, I’ll have to check that out. I loooooooove Peep Show.

Thank god.

Sour grapes, narcissism, delusion, entitlement, etc., etc. How could she have lost?

Well at least now we can see the target audience for Verrit.

*MIGHT drop her new one this month.

Well with all the new stuff coming out this month, now would be a good time! ; )

Cool month indeed! I am so very excited for the new Miley, Metz, and Wolf Alice. Younger Now, Mess of Wires, and Yuk Foo, respectively, are all sooooooooo good.

Oh yeah, I’ve also been catching up on all the singles from Miley Cyrus’s new album. Not in love with Malibu but Inspired and Younger Now are pretty damn good. I’m excited for the album.

I already commented about EMA below, but I love the new album. Like 10/10 good. Receive Love is awesome. So is Fire Water Air LSD, 33 Nihilistic and Female, Blood and Chalk, and, well, all of them really.

Vices, Gasoline, and Be Gone are the shiiiiiiiiiit. Bed is pretty damn good too.

Mostly EMA’s new one, Exile in the Outer Ring

I went to the movies! Finally got to see Ingrid Goes West. Holy shit. I was expecting it to be dark but damn...

So Blonde is my favorite obviously but Cthulu is second for me.

After one listen, I have to say I really like it. I don’t think any of the singles other than Aryan Nation really worked great as singles, and it may have dampened my enthusiasm a bit, but the whole thing works really well as an album. I think it has a sound kind of in between her last two. There’s nothing quite as…

Yeah no knock on PLMS, it’s just so weird to me that people think TFV is such a huge drop off since I really love it. I probably do need to listen to PLMS more though.

Counterpoint: The Future’s Void owns. I think the first four tracks are all better than anything on PLMS. So Blonde in particular is perfect and is one of my favorite songs ever.

Just off the top of my head, gonna have to go with the song Change by Lana Del Rey.
