Things You Should Leave Alone is sooo solid and a shining example of what a trip hop album should be— 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 “do not play” 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. There’s also a cover of Summertime Rolls by Jane’s Addiction which is fun and makes sense kinda

Probably the one I’ve listened to front to back the most! Feels very of electronic music from its era (a sort of teenage-internet 2014 feel) whilst also having some genuinely timeless house songs on there. Airglow Fires is an all timer.

Amazing IDM/Trip-hop album that has some great replay-ability!!! I would say I know the genre, but that’s honestly more of a guess than anything! Totally recommend listening to it! Also had a Vegyn feature on it! The vocals of the British man talking added over each track add for an existential, yet intriguing yearning of something more. I give it a 9-10!👍

That album really scratches every itch in my brain. The beats are perfect. It's pure joy. Like most expressions of joy, it's complex and discordant. The words do not line up with the way my body wants to move to the sounds. The words are truly devastating, but in combination with the beats it's a beautiful expression of the humanity of dialectics. These two truths are opposing but they exist as true at the same time: I feel horror and love and devastation and excitement. These things are all true.

When the bar or venue or whatever is underground and you have to descend into the place because you can say some shit like “We are entering the seedy underbelly of this wicked city” “You know,” *cig drag* “crime is only a left-handed form of human endeavor.”
And then your friends can be like “Viv, you can’t smoke inside Dude also where the fuck did you find a pipe and a fedora What are you even saying” Giving you the opportunity to respond with a
“Beat it toots, you’re too pretty for these streets anyhow”
Then you remember your friend already offered to pay for the Uber XL home and you have like 11 bucks so you drop the bit but the sentiment is still there below the surface
