Overall Review: 9/10
Qualities: Ambient, dark, unsettling, robotic
Favorite tracks: Radiostalking, Calamity
NOTES BELOW:
Yakui the Maid’s Goodnight World is haunting and beautiful in a way I have yet to see recreated— it is dark, ambient, grayscale and robotic like nothing I’ve heard before. It is exactly how I would imagine the artistic interpretation of a dying machine, and it feels like a fever dream inside of a computer. I would highly recommend this album if you are interested in more mainstream artists like Nero’s Day at Disneyland or Metaroom. It is one of my new favorite albums!
Thank you for reading my review :)

this is an album that makes me wanna make music and it convinced me that getting an omnichord would solve all my problems… but seriously it’s such a beautiful record and i highly recommend listening while deliriously tired i swear you’ll feel like you’re floating

Apple Music tells me that this was one of my most-listened to albums of 2023, and it's still in regular rotation. Ten perfectly crafted electronic tone poems, or maybe short stories told in beeps and boops, by turns menacing, nostalgic, and sweet. Especially recommended to listen to on headphones after nibbling half an edible before drifting off to sleep. (See also NWBC co-collaborators' solo projects: DJ Python's hypnotic percussive tapestry Mas Amable, and Ana Roxanne's trippy ambient daydream Because of a Flower.)
