Monthly Listening: Mar 2024

[adevyish]

Been very busy booping friends, mutuals, strangers on tumblr today!

• iri / Run
  • Chill hop at trip hop speeds.
• Cho Co Pa Co Cho Co Quin Quin / Sora Tobu Tokyo
  • This is a nice “have on in the background” song, but that band name.
• penguinrush / Salvia
  • The rest of penguinrush’s latest album comes across very Sheena Ringo, but this is more “2000s anime insert song remix you find on the 3rd OST”.
• mekakushe / Uwa no Sora (CW: body horror) ★
  • Speaking of things you would find in 2000s anime, but on the mahou shoujo side.
• muque / 456 (CW: motion sickness, flashing)
  • A dance — almost hyperpop — take on what would otherwise be a typical jrock song.
• Hitsujibungaku / Addiction (CW: flashing, motion sickness)
  • Hitsujibungaku may have aped Y2K pop punk too well, because I became obsessed with trying to figure out what song this reminded me of.
• the pillows / Carnival
  • Answer: this song.
• Ajico / Love no Genkei (CW: motion sickness, flashing)
  • Okay, let’s fast forward to this decade in punk-inspired rock. Very like, Lucius.
• downt / mizu ni naru
  • A touch of math rock to this but not enough to call it math rock imo. Guess I’ll put it in the post-punk pile.
• Luby Sparks / Stayaway ★
  • Obligatory sparkly shoegaze.
• Charlotte is Mine / Wilderness
  • More of that, why not!
• Antiage / kaisui wo nomu ★
  • Time to zzz to soaring fuzzy riffs.
• Cor!s / Kayoi
  • zzz.
