I think I really like the new Deafheaven. It sounds more like Iceage though.

Melon

Anthony Fantano gave my current AOTY an 8/10

CHVRCHES/Suiyoubi no Campanella

This is a real thing that happened

Disappointed in Be the Cowboy. I cant help but feel that the good feels to the album are more for Puberty 2 and Bury Me at Make Out Creek. Cowboy fails to build on her last two records. The songs feel duller. After a few listens, only "Nobody", "Me and My Husband" and "Two Slow Dancers" really stick. From a larger view, Be the Cowboy isn't a bad album. But I think anyone that's watched her progression over the years had higher hopes.

Nah im going with the Fork on this one; it's her best work yet

2018's hottest Japanese act just dropped the single of the year


That's Japanese AOTY and Japanese Single of the Year under her belt now. I don't think that's gonna change either, looking at the release calendar.

Haru Nemuri- kick in the world

When the doody did this little Christmas miracle happen and how did I miss it?

Haru and her band are so pretty! :P They're like an edgier SCANDAL!

Saintseneca- Pillar of Na

This album's probably gonna be good, skipping the leak until I have it in my hand though

Really diggin' the new Wakusei Abnormal


I make no hyperbolic comment when I say it's the closest thing you're gonna get to a new Shiina Ringo album in 2018.
