These past two months have been much busier than I was expecting D: Nowadays I usually compose this post as the month goes on but this time I did it all in one go last week.
- Mustafa / Name of God ★ (CW: guns)
- A crisis of faith encapsulated in a folk ditty.
- Pet Shop Boys / Beauty has laid siege to the city
- A prequel to “Being boring” and “Requiem in denim and leopardskin”.
- Ichiko Aoba / Luciférine
- Light piano and string quintet accompany airy vocals for an unsettling lullaby.
- Jyocho / Lament the Passing of Spring ★
- Math rock with flute on top.
- Jonah Yano / Someone Asked Me How I’ve Been
- A mess of feelings expressed through cacophonic brass.
- Over the Top (Shangshan) / Inner Peace ★ (CW: motion sickness)
- Rage against the typhoon.
- Nemahsis / delusion
- Dream-folk takes a darker turn.
- Ray / No Way! Life Goes On! (pre mix version) ★
- A refrain for the cold dark winter nights. Reminiscent of Fluorescent-era Stars.
- Haraguchi Sasuke / Evolve Evolve Evolve
- A seeming cheery song that weaves in Pokemon battle motifs for mounting unease.
- Sirup / Game Over
- How many video game and music video references can a director fit into one video.
