Nürnberg - U Nikudy/Mora/Kachannie

 Greetings everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today, I will be reviewing the first album from the Belarussian post punk band, Nürnberg. For those who don't know, Nürnberg is a duo from Minsk, Belarus, the same place where Molchat Doma come from! This is their first EP, actually, however I feel like it should get it's own post. With that being said, let's jump into this record.

We are greeted with the first track, Intro, which is driven by some haunting guitar chords. The song has a slow beat, and a juicy bassline. Already loving this EP.

Next we have the title track, U Nikudy. This track is much more energetic and features actual vocals, these being very dark and loud, with a lot of effects on them. Overall, this track is amazing.

Moving on, we have Patanuć. This one was a bit slower, with a more melancholic feel to it. The guitar on this track sounded especially nice.

Next we have Los. This track didn't do much more for me, personally. The vocals weren't anything amazing, and the guitar melodies were OK.

Finally, we have the short Outro. This track was slow and sad. The bass was so nice and the guitar sounded incredibly soothing. This is definetly one of my favourite songs from the guys!

So overall, this EP was an amazing start for their discography and I can't wait to see what else they hold in store for me. 

Favourite tracks: Intro, U Nikudy, Patanuć, Outro;
Score: 9/10

Mora (2019)

You might be wondering, what the hell I'm doing? Well, this review was a bit short, so I thought, why not review Nürnberg's over 2 singles.

Mora was a slow and melancholic track with no vocals at all. The drums felt especially powerful and the guitar on this track sounded amazing. The track was highly reverbed, and gave this song an almost nostalgic feel to it. Definetly an amazing track.

Score: 9/10

Kachannie (2021)

This is their latest single, and for me, it was just OK. Sure the guitar sounded nice, but it didn't really stick in my head as a special song.

Score: 6/10

I'm Quitting My Blog...

  Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. I am now announcing that I am quitting this blog for multiple reasons: 1. It's blocking my musical journey. Due to me being forced to listen to the same artists without much else, I feel like my exploration is being hindered by this blog. 2. I am wasting my precious time for nothing. Nobody reads these posts, nobody reads blogs these days, they need short and snappy videos, which leads me to... 3. I will be making YouTube shorts, instead of writing these reviews, as they will reach a much wider audience, and won't need as much work. Thank you for respecting my choice, and I will see on YT...

The End of Electronics - Union

  Welcome back everyone to my blog. Today I will be reviewing The End of Electronics' first album, Union. As I mentioned in my   Voskhod review , I found out about this one-man band because of my affinity with Molchat Doma. I listened to his first album, and have to say... this album is pretty good. Not the best, but still really good. Let's dive deeper into it, shall we?  Kicking off the album is Night. It has a really interesting vibe to it, feeling like it's the beginning of your journey, and look out the window of your vehicle, you see rural areas and small towns. That's the feel thus song gives me. It has an amazing chorus instrumental and is just overall really well made!  Moving on, we have the oddly melancholic Union. Not that there is anything bad with that, but the instrumental gives me a sadder vibe. It really cool, it feels like the journey has taken a break, and you stopped at a gas station. The vocals are really cool in this song, and adds up to another...

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Volume II

Greetings everyone! Quick disclaimer, this will be a long post, so grab yourself some tea while you read. Anyway, today I will be reviewing Aphex Twin's second album, Selected Ambient Works Volume II. After the amazing EP that was 85-92 , I had high hopes for this album. With that being said, let's get straight into the review. Right off the bat, Cliffs (I will be referring to the fan names) was a great start to the album, it's main motif being a woman's vocals being repeated constantly over the soothing ambient chords. I could hear the woman say "песня" (pesnya), which means song in Russian. Then suddenly, Radiator was a pretty creepy song, with a repeating melody that sounded like a stock phone alarm for some reason. Even though it had some very eerie chords, it was overall a pretty enjoyable track. But then, after the song had ended, Rhubarb's calm, welcoming chords started playing, giving me a comforting feel and was overall just a super chill, meditat...
