:: MY MUSIC PAGE!

Hello, everyone! Welcome!

This is my music page, a place for me to showcase my very favourite albums, artists, genres, and more!

I listen to a lot of music, typically within the same genres of folk and pop. I love layered instrumentation and interesting soundscapes that incorporate different sounds and even field recordings.

I like to think that the music I listen to has shaped the person that I am today to some extent. I listen to a lot of it! It's a way for me to pass the time as well as to daydream. If you want to be friends on Spotify, my account is eskewcity! cyu!

:: FAVOURITE ARTISTS

The Oh Hellos are basically my favourite band of all time and ever. I've been a fan of their music for a long, long time. Like a lot of fans, I first discovered their music through animatics of the song 'Soldier, Poet, King', but, while I'm still fond of the song, it's by far no longer my favourite.

I love The Oh Hellos for the poetry of their lyrics, as well as the skill of the music itself. I love the varied instruments they use and how the melodies they compose come together across albums while still being super distinct! I typically prefer songs where Maggie sings.

I only started listening to Rina Sawayama recently -- I'd say in about 2022. However, in that short period of time, she's become one of my favourites! The variation between her two albums is so interesting, and they're both two of my favourite albums. I love basically every song she's ever put out.

I love Rina for the sound of her music. It's all so reverberating and expansive. I remember reading once some of her songs were meant to sound like raves in abandoned warehouses, and I think she definitely succeeded at achieving that!

I don't typically listen to country music, but the slow and ambling sounds of Aimee Mann's country rock style captivate me. I remember there was a period of time in 2022 where the only song I could listen to was her 'Labrador', which I would have on repeat blasting through my earphones.

I initially discovered Aimee Mann through her work on the Steven Universe soundtrack, because I loved the show when I was a pre-teen. I'm still fond of the songs she wrote for it, but I vastly prefer her original albums, which all sound super down-to-earth (reference?)!

What to say about Mitski that hasn't already been said a thousand times already? Her lyrics are so poetic and the sound of her music is so creative and fresh.

The thing that throws me off is that often people reduce Mitski's music to being 'sad' and while this is often true, I feel it's also reductive because a lot of her music takes on a hopeful tone or talks about other things, like the specific grief and alienation that comes from being a POC and diaspora kid. I really relate to her music in that regards, and I love listening to her at the end of long days!
