JPEGMAFIA is an anomaly. his production melds so many styles of music together, ranging from the sounds of hip hop, EDM, rock, and so many other moments and references from music history. i honestly just have to say that this album is fucking crazy, and every song sets off a little explosion in my brain that makes me crave for more. he starts off the album with i scream this in the mirror before i interact with anyone, an experimental rap/metal/dubstep song that absolutely FUCKS. however, later in the album comes either on or off the drugs, where the beat highlights Peggyās masterful sampling ability with a more ātraditionalā beat, making the album so damn charismatic. iāve listened to it a good three times through in two days, so i just had to make this rec.

This is one of my favorite albums of all time! I listen to it at least twice a week. I recommend anyone who wants to feel like an action hero (or villain) for the next couple hours to listen to it. I miss albums like these that feel like blockbuster soundtracks. The brutal rave production, the in-your-face vocals, the mix of underground grit with a high-gloss pop finish on topā¦ bring back cinematic rave music!

Things You Should Leave Alone is sooo solid and a shining example of what a trip hop album should beā moody, sexy, sometimes desperate, but also sometimes insouciant. Sick beats. Trip Hop is one of the things I hold in the highest regard, take deathly seriously, I ādo not playā about it. I discovered Puracane semi recently (small discography, toured with Depeche Mode once) and was just enchanted by this album. My favorite track is 14 Nights. Thereās also a cover of Summertime Rolls by Janeās Addiction which is fun and makes sense kinda

some time last year on a road trip, i came across Fievel Is Glauque. āwhat the fuck is a Fievel?ā i asked hnyre, to which he responded āyāknow, that one cartoon mouseā(iād never seen it). after listening to their song Hit Me Now, i fell in love with their rough production style combined with the wacky rhythmic and harmonic jazz bullshit youād hear music nerds audibly orgasm over. though, sometimes with that irregular music riff-raff, you ought to pair it with sounding like you recorded your album inside a comical rusty garbage can with a single mic(iām overcompensating), which Fievel Is Glauque does amazingly with their record āGodās Trashmen Sent to Right the Messā. listened to the entire thing right after i found the first song. had 0 skips from me!
their new single thatās preceding the next album drop is also pretty incredible, in which it seems like the trash men have righted the mess with a much ācleanerā sound this time around.
gotta say, i also just love french singing. no wonder why Pomplamoose has a new viral video every other moon

iāve seen this movie twice now, and although some scenes are awfully hard to watch, the camerawork and symbolism is amazing. itās masterfully written with both high intensity and comedic moments. if you can handle blood and guts and body horror vfx, you need to watch this film. i would say that the first watch felt very long, but watching it again definitely gave me another perspective.
