Title: The Glow pt.2 Artist: The Microphones Style: “The Glow Pt. 2 is the sound of one man working through a changing landscape — a single voice challenging its surroundings while also accepting that it’s powerless to alter them. The Glow Pt. 2 is unpredictable, volatile, vibrant, terrifying, and comforting. The Glow Pt. 2 is alive.“ Review: Pitchfork | Mount Eerie Preservation Society My Rating: 10/10 |

Title: Rossz Csillag Alatt Szuletett Artist: Venetian Snares Style: ““Sikertelenseg” has Funk opening a body bag to show a disbelieving piano its deceased lover. “Szerencsetlen” walks a rickety plank with stacco violin stabs and a grinding “Amen” jungle breakbeat. “Masodik Galamb” indulges in more breakcore delirium and nearly sacrifices the visceral impact of the melodies struggling to pull through. The brooding string piece “Felbomlasztott Mentokocsi” and the chase-sequence dramatics of “Hajnal” are deftest songs that Funk ever recorded.“ Review: Pitchfork My Rating: 8/10, Pigeon why can you scare me? |
