  1. entomongaku - chypho

entomongaku

notes not particularly remarkable but it was nice to have on in the background. very light and playful.

love deluxe

notes really nice, and also, just very cool! i liked how cohesive this album was and how well it blended together. i wasn't paying attention to tracks since i had it on in the background but i liked it! sade has a lovey voice, too.

little dark age

notes not completely my thing but a fun change of pace. i liked the instrumentation in some tracks a lot.

fav tracks:

  1. little dark age
  2. when you die
  3. days that got away

  1. april fool (!!!)

tales of the night forest

notes beautiful, mystical, wild. every song leans into the next and conjures up this perfect dark atmosphere. really lovely.

fav tracks:

  1. a wild river to take you home (regular fairygorians will recognize this)
  2. night in a mossy hut

laini tani

notes bandcamp describes this abulm as being "a heady, exhilarating rush of excess, evoking a sultry haze of balmy nights that stretch effortlessly into dawn while clubs continue unphased." nothing i say can capture what this album feels like better than that — a series of vignettes, glimpses caught lazily out of the corner of one's eye.

fav tracks:

  1. banit
  2. laini tani
  3. ghorzetein
