sin duda records
lame kindergarten visuals, poor songwriting and an unmelodious, anonymously talented female voice carried by strong musicianship.

united for opportunity
boring gypsy aesthetic. both singers have a distinct lack of charisma, charm and emotion. very interesting string arrangements.

the new black
limp-wristed guitar tone, unimaginative recording and forgettable melodies bog down sturdy and effective musicianship. very curious lyrics.

kanine records
a painfully hip and unoriginal take on a done-to-death genre. average melodies and guitar playing that is not loud enough to be effective.

it seems i have made these young men angry. it comes as no surprise to me that a band as well-groomed and "destined for success" as them would get so angry at an upstart blog's curt and unimpressed review of their average tunes and tepid aesthetic. sorry for being honest.

deep electronics that tell an unoriginal yet captivating story. definitely not ambient; attracts your attention with superior grooves.

tri-tone
well-dressed, melancholic pop. poetic lyrics and above average melodies coupled with a wimpy sub-moz croon. inauthentic and condescending.

no label
inoffensive chillwave with deep bass and fade-out worthy grooves. listenable but one is left asking: "is this meant to be ambient?"

luv luv luv records
builds up to a chorus that is nonexistent. apparently new order-esque guitar tone is the hook. mediocre, forgettable, and extremely english.

ooga booga, art fag, suicide squeeze
vaguely catchy, unremarkable pop-rock. cliched '60s bad girl aesthetic with poor vocals, half-baked melodies and deflated rhythms.
