	Loop Artist: 이브 (Yves) | Release Date: 2024.05.29 First two songs? Great. Last two songs? Not so great. Her everyday fit game? Unstoppable. Favorite Track: Loop ★★☆☆☆
	Night Killaz Vol. 2 Artist: Snow Strippers | Release Date: 2024.05.08 See previous album. "He's playing video gaaaaaames." Video Games is actually my least favorite, but the line is stuck in my head lol. Favorite Track: So What If I'm A Freak ★★☆☆☆
	Night Killaz Vol. 1 Artist: Snow Strippers | Release Date: 2023.11.24 Thin, artificial, fist-bumping, head swinging. Would go great on the tracklist for Flash Flash Revolution. I'll make the stepfile. Favorite Track: Cautious ★★☆☆☆
	Rogue Intruder, Soul Enhancer Artist: Oli XL | Release Date: 2019.07.22 Wanna drink some mushroom tea to this on a snowy morning. Funny the description on bandcamp proudly pronounces the album is comprised of "386 uncleared samples". Doesn't bring much emotion out of me. Favorite Track: Clumsy ★★☆☆☆
	Sewerslvt Presents: Cynthoni, Pt. 1 Artist: Cynthoni | Release Date: 2024.05.09 Name change and a comeback. Feel like if you walked far enough into a forest you would stumble upon a cave that could fit a village inside of it decorated with bioluminescent bugs. Then you find Cynthoni lying on the ground next to a sofa. If you haven't ODed on music-for-your-cat-to-breakdance-to yet then come join the party. Favorite Track: Monolithic Cyan Tsunami ★★★☆☆
	ZIGZAG II Artist: ZIGZAG | Release Date: 1986.02.21 The one song I already knew got my hopes up a little too high. If you're looking for some less talked about kayo kyoku, try this band. f anyone has the MV to my favorite track pls send it to me. It disappeared from YT years ago. Found it! Favorite Track: 限界恋心 ★☆☆☆☆
	Everyone's Getting Involved: A Tribute to Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense Artist: Various | Release Date: 2024.05.17 Never heard the original album in full. All pretty good except for the first track. Everyone really did get involved. Round of applause to everyone Favorite Track: Teezo Touchdown - Making Flippy Floppy ★★☆☆☆
	The Act of Doing It Artist: Bonk! | Release Date: 2024.03.31 Half silly fun, half dark rockin'. Sounds like your freindly neighboorhood garage band. Chill sun with shades on, then it flips around and has red angry face. Favorite Track: Wave ★★★☆☆
	Pink Colour Surgery Artist: The Psychotic Monks | Release Date: 2023.02.03 A little sludge a lot of banging. Wailing about something I don't know can't hear over the dissonant chug-chugging (positive). Made me want to refresh myself with some lemonade after. Favorite Track: Post-Post- ★★☆☆☆
	Ex Machina Artist: Steve Lehman, Orchestre National de Jazz | Release Date: 2023.09.15 Jolting, off-kilter, 16 TET free jazz type ahh beats. Like I'm watching a film on MUBI. Ed: gooning wizard. Edd: well-paid mod for famous egirl. Eddy: Flips cars on fb marketplace. Favorite Track: Los Angeles Imaginary ★★☆☆☆
	Sound Renovates A Structure Artist: 아소토유니언 (Asoto Union) | Release Date: 2003.11.19 Need these guys at my next family barbecue. Old school laidback funk and soul. Mostly instrumental. A little toooo laidback to be listening to all the time. Favorite Track: Think About' Chu ★★☆☆☆
	마니또 (MANITO) Artist: QWER | Release Date: 2024.04.01 QWER continuing to lead the otaku-inspired music boom in Korea. 탕후루 sugar syrup melodies and ultra-bright arrangements. The whole point of this band is that they learned instruments, but the album version of the single is taken over by synths. Favorite Track: 고민중독 (T.B.H) ★★☆☆☆
	The New Romantics Artist: The New Romantics | Release Date: 2023.10.27 Mix of different 80/90s styles all done really well. Would fit in perfectly at the local thing I went to once that had like 3 guys in leather jackets swaying back and forth. Maybe I'll get a leather jacket too after I go bald. Favorite Track: Something ★★★☆☆
	The Doober Artist: Sam Gendel, Sam Wilkes | Release Date: 2024.05.01 Still lo-fi, but much more low key and pensive their last album. Still saxxing and bassing it up. Lot of mouth drums and drum machines. Exactly what I need or kind of a drag depending on my mood. Favorite Track: BOA 2 ★★☆☆☆
	Delusional Artist: Dev Lemons | Release Date: 2023.05.26 Some nice indie pop. Soft, gentle, playful, with grittier parts throughout. Mellow vocals that go well over both heavy synths and warbly guitars. Waking me up from all the ambient I've been floating in. Favorite Track: You Tear Me Apart ★★★☆☆
	夜明け前 (Before Sunrise) Artist: 大和那南 (Nana Yamato) | Release Date: 2021.02.05 Bedroom pop is right I'm in my jammies. Underwhelming compared to its popularity. All the amateur with almost none of the charm. Favorite Track: Burning Desire ★☆☆☆☆
	Canyon Artist: Saloli | Release Date: 2023.07.07 Real analog meditation hours. Written as the soundtrack to a typical day in the life of a bear. Hell yeah. Fun concept, easy on the ears, maybe I'll become a bear one day and get drunk on rotting apples. Favorite Track: Full Moon ★★★☆☆
	Some Things Take Time Artist: Cisco Swank, Luke Titus | Release Date: 2022.04.15 Back at it again but with a drummer friend. Neojazz with the time feel that keeps you on your toes and the drums that go dddadadadatdattingdadadat. Stankface Inducer 3000. Favorite Track: Could It Be You ★★★☆☆
