Albums of 2016 - 32. CARLA DEL FORNO - YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE

32. CARLA DEL FORNO - YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE


On Halloween I played this spooky, eerie music while walking by the canal and through a dark bridge and I got reeled in, all hypnotized. It didn't exactly scare the shit out of me, merely intrigued me as I always look for at least a feeling of chill. Not going out to party for Halloween again - not after last year when I had a wallet stolen as I dressed as a tampon.

A really great thing I just read is that this is a debut. I had no idea before just checking Metacritic. As the opener "Italian Cinema" swirls in, soon to follow is the gloriously lo-fi "Fast Moving Cars." It's massively urban even though I just told you I tried to get Haloween-ee-ode in the countryside.

The above two paragraphs were written at midnight after a static night in front of el-lapito, my laptop and I was going brain-dead. Or maybe I was just entranced by this amazing piece of introductory work that will lead on into a love affair with urban witchcraft.

Albums of 2016. 36. FRANKIE COSMOS - NEXT THING

36. FRANKIE COSMOS - NEXT THING  


It's one big fucking pleasure to follow this artists momentum. Her previous releases were very teenagey and now it's as if this biographical-esque narrative is becoming more realised than the old EP's

"When you're young, you're too young
When you're old, you're too old"

Those are lyrics from "What If" and I hope that Frankie can not let touring and the industry get on top of her and that her graceful two minute numbers don't sound too chug-a-lug. If the guitars do start chugging, then I prey she can still pack her tunes with personal lyrics aplomb. If this is a character that Cosmos is writing, then she's a genius. If not, then it's an amazing personal development.

Frankie Cosmos for me recalls The Moldy Peaches without the crass bits and I'm so glad to be on her bandwagon. I'm her biggest fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 p="">

Albums of 2012- 17. Windy & Carl - We Will Always Be

17. WINDY & CARL - WE WILL ALWAYS BE

Usually you'd say to not judge a book by it's cover. Here, you have to. What do you see? Say what you see! Do it. I see a sunflower. I see summer....

...Wrong peeps, even though I just said it. This album is actually for any season. It's chill with a bit of drone - everyone knows I hate genreizing. Shall I create some now? Okay : Cuntstep, 8-disco-ball, soccer-thud, who's- your- mate now-then-house"

I did a shit job there. But these guys didn't mess. Forget to mention it's a bit folky too. Is this the laziest blog in the world? Yes it is!
