Album Recs

Sup y'all.

I feel like it's high time I share some albums that I personally enjoy, while trying to put into words why I like them.

 

 

Cindy Lee - What's Tonight to Eternity (2020)

Starting off, the drag alter-ego of Canadian singer Patrick Flegel never fails to impress me. This album is filled with all of the dreary elegance that reminiscent of dream pop tracks, but settles for a rhythm more reflective of music found on 50s on 5. Then, suddenly, the white noise underlying the album builds up, and we watch whatever delicate aspects there were left just wither away. 

 

 

 

BBYGOYARD & DJ Smokey - Loreseeker (2023)

This album is my personal favorite of 2023. If you're in the mood to pheel tha phonk but want something with a charged and motivating progression overall, then give this album a listen. Be warned, though - the producer tags, ad-libs, lyrics, and bookending bits in this album are completely over-the-top. 

 

 

 

Marillion - Misplaced Childhood (1985)

Continuing the ballad-like structure & storytelling theme, but in a completely different genre is Misplaced Childhood by Marillion. This is my favorite album of all time. I don't listen to it very often, but whenever I do I try to go front-to-back. If you're up for an immersive experience, give this album a chance.

 

'Til next week. 🪖
