nnwhen's 2024 Music Restrospective

Hey friends and strangers alike. If you've come here of your own accord, that's really cool! It's more likely that I sent you here myself. You may have asked for recommendations or I may have made my recommendations your problem anyway.

In either case, I hope you find something valuable here :)

The List

Obsidian

by Baths

Beautiful; Painful; Haunting. The rhythms and melodies are unexpected and bring a new appreciation for what those elements can be in music.

    Favourite Track:
  • Miasma Sky
An upward shot of dark clouds. A person is wrapped in black cloth. Two other faces are visible peaking from within the folds. We can't see what these people are standing on, implying that it is a small towering platform.

Turning Silver

by Sirius

There is an amateur and rough energy about this album that speaks deeply to me. Great in its own right.

    Favourite Tracks:
  • Cry;Ptid
  • Shellsick
Thick black border around a photograph of a resting dog and a person who seems to have their head wrapped in canvas

redemption tour

by Klein

I have reviewed this track.

It is a track that sits remarkably well in the negative-space within any emotional state I am in

It is a track absolutely bursting with sincerity and I love it very dearly.

A grid of circular lights pointing toward the viewer

Wraith

by Teeth of The Sea

I was drawn into the world of this album the first time I heard it. Experimental, Psychodelic, A beautifully noisey landscape. Transported to another world. I listen to this often.

    Favourite Tracks:
  • I'd Rather, Jack;
  • Our Love Can Destroy This Whole Fucking World
A silhouette of a person from their shoulders up. The image is tinted green. The persons eyes are obscured by black exploding dust. The word 'wraith' is superimposed in the center

Your Problem As A Mountain

by Party Milk

This is a lovely compilation of short, sweet and somewhat experimental tracks. Most if not all the tracks are very fun and cute.

    Favourite Track:
  • Wedding Hair
A photograph of a dog sleeping on a couch. Beneath the image is text listing songs, artists involved and other miscellaneous information similar to a CD album sleeve

Creep On Me Praying

by A1 Turbo

Unbelievable, Noisey, Experimental and Energetic. A little known gem. Satisfying to my ears in a way that I struggle to describe.

    Favourite Track:
  • Creep On Me Praying
A black and white photograph of two silhouetted figures in a shallow river, underneath a small waterfall. One looks at the camera, holding something in their hands. The other has their arms out to catch the droplets and looking up into the spray. They are wearing pants but not shirts.

paradise footage 7

by BRDRML

I would classify this album's genre more as 'collage' than 'vapourwave', though they are both apt terms to describe it. It is heavy, is (in)harmonically bursting and momentous.

    Favourite Track:
  • me against the world
A black and white collage artwork. There are five symbolic images in the top region, including the Sanskrit 'Om' or 'Aum'. Underneath these 5 images is a photograph of a woman holding an AK-47. She is standing in front of a table of flowers

by fine-sir-1584660650

Unmatched in energy; A style never replicated. Also harmonically bursting. Many tracks are made with data and things that weren't intended to be used as instruments. Considered 'Trashwave' and 'Power-Electronics'.

    Favourite Track:
  • 𝒇𝒊𝒍𝒆 𝒔𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒎 𝒊𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒂𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒆; 𝒍𝒐𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒏g🀩🀌ဪး䷏㉉︦◶⠱⠬╈⃨╠⃨███.𝗳𝗹𝗮𝗰
A photograph of a landscape with what seems to be a tree in the foreground. The image is distorted beyond certain recognition. One can only infer what is behind the intense jittering glitches.
