	2 Artist: (여자)아이들 | Release Date: 2024.01.29 It's like a light romance drama's OST sandwiched between some bust-down-the-door girl boss ish. One of the best things about them is each member's voice tone frfr. Full albums from idols almost always a struggle. Favorite Track: Wife ★☆☆☆☆
	Boys Loved Her Artist: No Buses | Release Date: 2019.09.11 Love when bands write all their lyrics in another language without trying to fix any mistakes. Like the Hives or some band like that if they were Japanese. Gives me local band scene vibes (positive meaning). Favorite Track: Ill Humor ★★☆☆☆
	Anicca Artist: Teebs | Release Date: 2019.10.25 Recommended by a favorite artist of mine. Playful, gentle, groovy, diverse. Vocal tracks fit right in with the rest of the instrumental ones. Favorite Track: Prayers ii ★★★★☆
	Strawberry Season Artist: More Eaze | Release Date: 2022.11.09 More energetic than the Eternity. Some points felt less ambient and more hearing someone do chores while you listen to music. I'm sleepy now. Favorite Track: Low Resolution at Santikos ★★☆☆☆
	Da Drought 3 Artist: Lil Wayne | Release Date: 2007.04.13 Heard him on so many features, but never heard an actual thing from him. Haven't heard most of the tracks he raps over either. I really was in another place during the mixtape era. Favorite Track: Dough Is What I Got ★★☆☆☆
	SEA SON (괜계) Artist: HASHIGEYO | Release Date: 2021.03.18 Commented "first" on their MV years ago and just now listened to the album. A little funk, rock, soul, city boys and girls seaside jam. Amazing mouth trumpet solo on the third track. Favorite Track: SEA SON (괜계) ★★★☆☆
	El Derroche Artist: Felipe Orjuela | Release Date: 2023.09.08 Cumbia laser shots are so good. Had me steppin'. Not much stood out to me. Favorite Track: Manos Limpias (Cuentas Claras) ★★☆☆☆
	Fe304: BREAK Artist: NMIXX | Release Date: 2024.01.15 Fun beats and sounds here and there. Irresponsible genre-mashing mostly for the sake of being trendy. Sometimes it works tho. Favorite Track: DASH ★☆☆☆☆
	MOTTAINAI Artist: YeYe | Release Date: 2016.07.13 After trying to learn a song from this album I finally decided to actually listen to the rest of it. Singer-songwriter with her guitar and a little help from her friends. None of the other songs really hit with me, sadly. Favorite Track: Yura Yura (ゆらゆら) ★☆☆☆☆
	Let's Start Here. Artist: Lil Yachty | Release Date: 2023.01.27 Who let this man cook? Gets me hype, grooving, feeling, and wanting to sing into a fan. Icky nasty AI album cover booooooo. Favorite Track: IVE OFFICIALLY LOST ViSiON!!!! ★★★★☆
	12 Languages (12가지 말들) Artist: bongjeingan (봉제인간) | Release Date: 2023.10.04 When some Korean rock scene bros jump on the discord call. Frantic, goofy, off-kilter rock n rollllllll. More fun for them than it is for the listener. Favorite Track: BAT (박쥐) ★★☆☆☆
	Glitch Princess Artist: yeule | Release Date: 2022.02.04 Creepy crawly ass intro. Stays spooky after that. Sad, pretty, dark, otherwordly. Did NOT finish listening to the 4:44:00 long final track lol. Like one of those "toxin cleansing" yt videos. Favorite Track: Fragments ★★★☆☆
	Census Designated Artist: Jane Remover | Release Date: 2023.12.22 Heavy electric guitars and some screaming. Floaty, muffled acoustic guitars and emotional indie singing. Wish she didn't take that one album down. Favorite Track: Video ★★☆☆☆
	Niet Geslapen Wel Gedoucht Artist: Gotu Jim | Release Date: 2023.01.13 Gentle pianos and synths. It'll get a European crowd jumping. Easy listening dance music with hip hop elements. Favorite Track: Geekin ★☆☆☆☆
	e o Artist: cero | Release Date: 2023.05.24 Been a long while, but I'm glad they still got them horns. Generally chill, but always has something interesting going on. Jazzy, hectic, smooth, green. Would love to hear live. Favorite Track: Fuha フハ ★★★★☆
	No More (Ma Boy) Artist: 씨스타19 (SISTAR19) | Release Date: 2024.01.16 Not crazy about it, but the chorus kinda do be stuck in my head. Reminds me of One More Time by BBGIRLS. Nothing could ever live up to the original MA BOY, but that's okay. Favorite Track: No More (Ma Boy) ★☆☆☆☆
	Sd-2 Artist: Loukeman | Release Date: 2024.01.11 Some fun sample flips with boomy drums and slowed down vocals. More 80s influence than I was expecting. Great BGM for when the cafe lounge transitions to craft beer bar at night. Favorite Track: Baby You're A Star ★★☆☆☆
	When we were that what wept for the sea Artist: Colin Stetson | Release Date: 2023.05.12 Grade-A sound bath material. Love the circular breathing+singing+sax playing. Not a fan of the couple spots of spoken word. Favorite Track: Long before the sky would open ★★★★☆
	Holy Red Wagon Artist: Bruiser and Bicycle | Release Date: 2023.04.05 Guitars with a lil jangle. Vox with a lil nose. Folk, emo, indie, Fraggle Rock. Good all the way through. Favorite Track: Lunette Fields Speak ★★★☆☆
	After the Magic Artist: Parannoul (파란노을) | Release Date: 2023.01.28 Instantly reminded me of Takahashi's project pupa and similar groups from Japan in the 2010s. Except with some added crunchy shoegaze. Also like when Porter Robinson did those live band versions of some songs. Favorite Track: Polaris ★★★★☆
	Clocked Off Artist: Moin | Release Date: 2023.07.05 Frantic, minimal, punk, noisy. Loosy-goosy post-rock or something with some listing off names of prisons in between. A bit short. More pls. Favorite Track: Will I Have Enough Grapes ★★★☆☆
	Eternity Artist: More Eaze | Release Date: 2023.04.12 Long notes, glitches everywhere, driving drum machines, moments of calm. am!bi!ent! This month's most feel-good, album-length single track. Favorite Track: Eternity ★★★☆☆
	Maggot Brain Artist: funkadelic | Release Date: 1971.07.12 More power to the people. More power to the pussy. More pussy to the power. Favorite Track: Wars Of Armageddon ★★☆☆☆
