Imaginal Disk
Artist: Magdalena Bay | Release Date: 2024.08.23
Theatric, groovy, genre-spanning, inspiring, lively soundscapes with creative lyrics.
How they do it again and again.
This album was like something from Spellling if she spent less time in the forest and more time on the internet.
Favorite Track: Tunnel Vision
★★★★☆

Sky Hundred
Artist: 파란노을 (Parannoul) | Release Date: 2024.08.07
Korean boy continues to gaze at his shoes. World erupts in elated applause.
Kinda because he can't play guitar, he plays piano.
Remember to wear earplugs when attending or performing at a concert.
Favorite Track: Evoke Me

THURSDAYCLUB MIXTAPE
Artist: Don Malik | Release Date: 2024.07.30
Quality bars over some slow jazzy beats, but he also be going in on HARD beats sometimes.
Can't follow the words the whole time but I hear the rhymes and appreciate the flow lol.
I listened to this whole album thinking it was someone else in my head.
Favorite Track: PSE

TENT 0.3
Artist: 원슡타인 (Wonstein) | Release Date: 2024.08.12
Permed hair smooth rapper extraordinaire decides to release 30% of a new album, making me have to contemplate on whether to add this collection of just three songs to this list.
Cute lyrics. Very sweet.
Great stuff, but I would like to hear the full thing, please.
Favorite Track: 사랑ㅎ새 (I Love Yuo)

nothing
Artist: Louis Cole | Release Date: 2024.08.09
Introspection in a weightless void, into cacophonic walls of sound accompanying silly lyrics. What we love him for.
Always nice hearing these live orchestral versions. Too bad the concerts only ever happen in Europe.
Just noticed that except for his first album, his album covers use a lot of black and white.
Favorite Track: Shallow Laughter:Bitches (orchestral version)
★★★☆☆

I can't believe it's not butter!
Artist: 임금비 (Keumbee) | Release Date: 2020.08.13
Light-hearted, funky, fuzzy, cozy.
The two original songs are charming. The rest are covers, some from artists I don't listen to, but she chose some good songs.
Not that surprising, but the old promo photos for the bands she covered all look so cheesy and outdated it's wild.
Favorite Track: 908

Time Machine
Artist: Sole (쏠) | Release Date: 2024.08.09
RnB with a silky sweetness that takes inspiration from the 90s/00s.
Loved her album, imagine club (a big fat five star), and I'm thankful for the continued excellence.
Sometimes all you need is some feel good music.
Favorite Track: 그럼에도 LOVE (Still LOVE)

blanking intervals
Artist: More Eaze | Release Date: 2024.08.02
Single track of ambient for twenty minutes. It was about time for another one.
Mostly acoustic symphonic orchestra type stuff with guitar and atmospheric synths. Instrumental botanica without the typical chord progressions.
Good build up, come down, textures.
Favorite Track: blanking intervals

Artificial Intelligence
Artist: Various Artists | Release Date: 1992.07.06
The wiki says this was the beginning of IDM. We've come so far.
Would be cool to use some of these as ringtones.
The wiki also said most of these guys were on the younger side and I feel like a lot of young electronic fans today would start out making music similar to this.
Favorite Track: Up! - Spiritual High
