That's My Dad. |
Whenever I believe something is fantastic by any means, I instinctively subtitle it as "That's My Dad", since dads are a given synonym for fantastic. Albeit not every father is great, on this website we'll live in our fantasies where everyone's dad goes fishing with you, takes you to strip clubs, concerts and manages to impress your friends with his 96' Impala. That's My Dad: A collection of all things considered, neglected and popularized. |
Shlohmo - Bad Vibes
With an excess of ambient music floating about the indie side of the internet, it’s an almost arduous task to pin-point artists with a distinct talent in the genre who require no pretension to appreciate. While it doesn’t aim for the sky or desire anything more than its own capabilities, Shlohmo’s “Bad Vibes” is a low-fi ambient record intensely serious about being ‘chill’. It doesn’t demand your attention in any way whatsoever, but welcomes it if necessary with a slew of intricate and multi-layered sounds and ambiance. “Bad Vibes” is perhaps the only example of modesty in a genre filled with pretentious work. It’s the coolest paradox any producer has offered in recent memory. (7/10)

Sharon Van Etten - Tramp
It may not necessarily dazzle or impress, but Sharon Van Etten’s Tramp is a redeeming and sorrowful singer-songwriter LP that feels like a more urgent, bolder Ani DiFranco record, circa early 90’s. (7/10)
