A round-up of the various albums I listened to during the week. Always guaranteed to be a mix of old and new records, spanning most genres.
- Slowthai, Ugly (Spotify)
I meant to get to this much sooner, but it was worth the wait. I only listen to a small stable of rap artists, but Slowthai has muscled his way into that lineup. I liked his last record, Tyron, a lot and Ugly is leaps above that. - JPEGMAFIA x Danny Brown, Scaring the Hoes (Spotify)
I’m almost done working on my review, but the album is getting regular listens regardless. One of the best rap records of 2023. - Cathexis, Untethered Abyss (Bandcamp)
A really sick technical death metal album with a good sense of groove. Production is top-notch, delivering thick, crunchy riffs and sickening dissonance. - Loincloth, Psalms of the Morbid Whore (Bandcamp)
An instrumental metal record from 2017, this album features an incredible bass tone and elite level drumming showcased throughout.
A somewhat light week for listening, due to work and life obligations.
