Imaginal Disk

Un disco demasiado sofisticado para ser o suficientemente mamarracho e demasiado mamarracho para ser o suficientemente sofisticado. Nin arre nin xo, nin moito nin pouco.

As ideas interesantes -que non son poucas- quedan enterradas nunha duración excesiva e nun remexido de experimentos que, para o meu gusto, pecan de pretenciosos e me distancian bastante do que si me atrae.

Contento con que cheguen a esa fina capa de música que non-é-mainstream-pero-case cousas diferentes, pero aínda non atopei os motivos para que este disco levantara tanta expectación. Pode que nuns anos volva e me decate de que simplemente era cousa da miña xordeira, pero non ten moita traza de momento

I have no idea why this blew up. It’s fine – good, even.

But that part in "Image" where the distorted and heavily clipped bass comes in for the last chorus is one of my favorite moments of 2024.

I say this as the utmost of compliments, a few of these tracks have gotta be leftover from the I Saw The TV Glow soundtrack cutting room floor

sorry but

edit: okey, gotta be honest “Death & Romance” is an absolute banger…is this album growing on me?

Empezamos la semana por todo lo alto con este disco que tantas ganas tenía de escuchar. Hay una cosa que me gusta y es lo mucho que suena a futurista y a nave espacial. Es un proyecto Synth pop con todo el rollo a ciencia ficción. La voz principal y su forma de cantar me recuerda un poco a María Zardoya de The Marias, cosa que me gusta. Casi cada una de las canciones está hilada con transiciones que me maravillan cada vez que las escucho en trabajos similares. Hay momentos donde la producción es tan intrigante que me agarra la cabeza y me la mueve de arriba a abajo. La cuestión es que, hay álbumes de Synth pop que… More
