Posted January 9, 2024 (edited) For me it has to be "Census Designated" by Jane Remover. By far the most emotionally affective music Ive heard all year and probably one of the most devastating emotional experiences Ive ever had from any music ever (which says a lot). Instrumentally its a (extremely well executed and cutting edge) mix of shoegaze, emo, metal core and noise rock. The vocal performance on this is insane -- Jane just floats over these slow building instrumentals with her angelic heavily autotuned voice, to a point where its hard to even pinpoint any standout moment on this one hour long project, as its blissful vocal runs ad infinitum. The themes discussed on this album are quite dark and vulgar and mostly deal with coming off age as a transgender teenager. Following is a little snippet of what to expect lyrically from this: I envy how big your feelings are How much you hate your life Running like a lamb with her legs cut off, I'll act like mine's not on the line How filthy can I get before you rip me from your chest? You take the color from my face and I fill your bed with vomit Favorite Tracks: Idling Somewhere, Video Share yours!!!

Posted January 9, 2024 Great share! Didnt knew this one, seems very promising from my first impression. But I probably need to be in the right mood to really give it a listen. These two probably were my albums of the year and both were pretty new territory genre-wise for me. There is something very exciting, innovative and fresh in both of them for me. “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” ― Carl Gustav Jung Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
