uboa - origin of my depression

reviewed 06-12-23 - dark ambient/noise

an intensely moving album about uboa and her struggles with abandonment issues and gender dysphoria. the album cover is actually a picture xandra took of herself lying in a hospital bed after a suicide attempt. extremely painful first listen. i love how much xandra plays around with different textures and feelings in her work. everything feels so tense and anxious.

chat pile - god's country

reviewed 06-12-23 - post-punk/sludge metal

why do these guys remind me of daughters so much?? very bizarre. fucking scary too. some of the best sludge i've heard in a long ass time. solid 9/10. feels like slam poetry in some places too. my weakness.

daughters - hell songs

not my fav from daughters but still a good example of alexis' artistic talent and vision. very difficult first listen, even for me. good thing it's short. 6.5/10
