donāt get me wrong, iām over it,, but i didnāt realize shirim by melodyās echo chamber followed by rill rill by sleigh bells would remind me so much of feeling love for someone who wasnāt coming back and the bittersweet chill to the air that signaled the final end of summer (which went back to the heartbreak thing) i was just cleaning my room man wtf.
I like to make playlists that have a huge collection of songs that may be on the soundtrack of my life if someone were to make a movie about that chapter of my life. Most of them donāt get very far because I donāt have a well defined āchapterā to adhere to. This one was made around 2021-2022 when I was in a relationship that at the time I didnāt realize actually sucked, but when I listen back at this playlist, it is pretty clear how depressed I was. I like it because it has some of my favourite songs, and it gives a lot of insight to that time in my life without expressly saying anything.
This is my first post, so iām gonna keep it short and sweet: Distinct, electronic music is my jam rn. And mr. stone has my calling card. Slowed, warped samples covered in sheets of effects and synths rising and fallinā¦. One track even sound like a Philip Glass+Kraftwerk combo. The album touches on such a specific nostalgia, or longing feeling. Itās hard to describe. The title āMomā fits perfect for the feeling⦠Childlike, yet forlorn. Lovely from beginning to end. (His newer album Stolen Car is also a fun listen if you enjoy this.)
Mr. Kirk has mad so much music my brain canāt even begin to fathom it. Starting to gain prominence with his group Cabaret Voltaire, he didnāt stop taking an eclectic approach to music production. This album, however, is his stand out work. The apex of everything that makes his music work so well. Tape loops, drum machines, african percussion, and a spicing of dark wave dancability. A singular musician and a singular album. Hugely influential for the music I make too (as will be the case for many, many of my other posts).
