Phoebe Bridgers - Punisher

Image
Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today, I will be reviewing Phoebe Bridger's sophomore release, Punisher. After producing and featuring on other artists works and creating an all-girls rock band, she finally released here second album in 2020. I enjoyed her debut a lot, so let's see how this holds up compared to her first record. DVD Menu is a short, but echoey song that features violins, filtered guitar plucks and other strings. A surprisingly moody opener. Then we have Garden Song with normal vocals, but heavily filtered guitar strumming. That is until we reach chorus, as the guitar sounds much clearer, and a guest vocalist brings in bass to the vocals. Kyoto is much more rock influenced song, with a very catchy horn tune. The title track is a very moody song with strings and more filtered guitar strums. Halloween may be another quiet song, but it has a bit more of a groove compared to the other softer songs. Chinese Satellite is a more rock influenced song, but it...

Nürnberg - Paharda

Image
  Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today, we are going to be discussing Nürnberg's second studio album, Paharda. Their previous album was OK, and as such, I was expecting an improvement of their sound. Let's see if they learned anything from their previous album. We start with Abdymi, with a much more lo-fi sound. The vocals were loud and imposing and the bassline was much thiccer and menacing. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. Next we Viera, a darker song, with a dark guitar, however the vocals didn't quite do it for me. This song was OK. Zorki has a powerful synth pad that fills the entire song. Melancholic guitar melodies, powerful drums, this is beautiful. Listy was less impressive. It really didn't leave that big of an impression on me. Trymaju was a slower song, with melancholic guitar melodies and a nice basline. The vocals sounded mournful, as if the singer lost something, and it sounds amazing. This is another great track. Adny was another nice ...

Depresión Sonora - Depresión Sonora

 Welcome back to my blog! With the intention of spicing things up a bit during the reviewing of long discographies, such as those from Queen and Pink Floyd, I will be reviewing artists with shorter discographies. And this artist right her, has only 2 albums. Oh, well. So, who is this guy? Depresión Sonora is a Spanish artist who does makes post punk music, similiar to Molchat Doma and The End of Electronics . Only this time, it's   g r o o v y . Whilst Molchat Doma has cool, synthwave inspired tracks, Depresión Sonora has straight up vibe tracks. Anyway, I've talked to much, let's get into the review. The first track we have is Hasta Que Llegue la Muerte. Even though this track has a rather dark meaning, it has some energetic drums and really catchy guitar and hook. An amazing start to the album. Next we have Mira Mis Ojos, featuring a darker vibe, similiar to something from Этажи . The slow beat, darker guitar melodies and deeper vocals, remind me of Molchat ...

The End of Electronics - Safety Guidelines

Hey Ya! Welcome back to the blog. Today, I will be reviewing The End of Electronics' second album, Safety Guidelines. After listening to his first album, Union, and seeing how there was still room for improvement, I was hoping that Mr. Skarletov would turn the production up a notch. Well, all I can say is that he exceeded my expectations by a lot!  Starting off the album, we have the ominous Citizen. The vocals are much calmer and the guitar sounds really cool. The record is starting off strong!  Next we have Doppelganger, featuring a powerful synth lead and great vocals. Also, I should mention that the vocals sound much cleaner than in Union. Decadence had a slower beat and a more melancholic vibe compared to the previous 2 songs. The vocals felt sadder than usual and so did the guitar. Very cool song though!  Moving on, we have Proletarian Gothic. A very energetic song, featuring a very nice guitar lead and vocals. The bassline in this song was one of the best I had see...

Molchat Doma - Монумент

Image
Welcome back everyone to the blog. Today I will be reviewing the third album from Molchat Doma, Монумент (pronounced Monument). After the absolutely amazing album that was Этажи , I had some pretty high expectations for their next album. Did it reach those expectations? Absolutely!  Starting off the album, we have Утонуть. This absolutely beautiful track is mainly driven by some synth pads, however they feel so powerful and are just.... mmmmmmmm. Amazing! Just top notch song!  Next we have Обречен, which brings back the slow beat and the amazing guitars. This song has a more melancholic vibe, however it gets stuck in your head really quickly. This song feels like it's a rainy day, and your just sitting there, doing rather mundane things, and getting bored really of said things. Just another amazing song. The next song, Дискотека, brings back the energetic beat, similiar to Танцевать, and has that classic 80s synth pop vibe. It just another great song! Moving on, we have Не Сме...
