Albums of 2024:

#9 - Serenity Now by Hailaker

before listening to this album, i had begun to consider hailaker's music to be somewhat predictable once you've heard enough of it. however, this album proved to me how wrong of an assumption that was.

while their sound is often defined as electronic folk, their newest project delves more into pop song structures with catchy and distinctive chorus melodies. the instrumentation of each track differs slightly from one another, from the simple acoustic guitar strumming on faded, to the bright piano and trumpet on gist, to the glitchy electronic elements sprinkled into m3.

the album's themes detail the process of trying to reignite the creative spark that the duo had had prior to the covid-19 pandemic. the lyrics tackle a range of themes such as loneliness and despair on lorely, erupting frustrations toward a lack of motivation in krushing, and newfound understanding for the temporariness of these struggles in co-star. although this could easily be considered a post-pandemic album, its themes would likely resonate with anyone who's struggled with periods of low creative output and lack of inspiration.

favourite tracks: gist, m3, co-star, problem

spotify 100 #29 [hailaker - yislo]

been better, been better the allegory's mine instead i'll remember where all my stories died

[tackrusso]

category five stuck in my head event

[toestalucia]

Vania: Mommy… You're watching, right? Are you happy too? Choice: She is, no doubt.

critical damage. but the fate ep parent hell didnt end there, i am so sorry for reading petras so late cuz hellooo?!?!?

Petra: (If the true Andras is somewhere in the Abyssal Forest, then that's also where Mother's journey would have ended. Will she be there? What would I even say to her? Should I ask her why she abandoned me? Or should I… No, I can't think about that now. I have to concentrate on stopping Andras.)

Karla: I have regrets. There are many things that I still want to do. That I was not able to be a mother to Petra hurts most of all. More than anything else, I wanted to be there to see her grow up…

Petra: It's not fair… Saying goodbye like this… How am I supposed to stay angry at you?

the (captain) io petra club of parents who left them to do something rly cool(save ppl). the added fact that with vanias situation where gran doesnt have any memory of their mother & what walfrid shared was very vauge and doesn't know either if their mom is dead or alive (rising hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha). also last years holiday seasonal with yaia & her mother.......like i truly think that its a dialogue option that becomes a lot more personal from captain, because even if gran has no knowledge about their mom & thus mentions her a lot less / doesn't have the same type of loneliness about her as they do with their dad, it's still pretty clear that they were curious as a kid & wondered what was up with their family. so i feel its very..............im sure she's watching, because thats what im hoping for my mom too. yknow.

as for petra that section felt terrible cuz. like i KNEW it was there, i knew about petras lore. i knew she was in a similar situation as captain & io. but having her voice it like this..........'should i ask her why she abandoned me' LIKEEEEEEEEEE....that epic scene in no rain no rainbow that they reused for and you (i think it was????) with captain crying & being comforted by vyrn with very similar questions. the anime s2 too. ugh.....u better keep dad alive. makes act3 such a heartache too since they fell to the edgelands as dad left, found out estalucias real name, found out repti had known dad & that? the last thing anyone has seen of dad is very likely him standing in front of the omnipotent(s clone) ?????? which makes me so damn dizzy in consideration of dad arriving at zinkenstill alone with captain & mom (&dads) position with bahamut. going to estalucia.....dad........ yeah my dad is at this fabled island oh no he met a being whose radiance blinded repti & even seeing it from the mask hurt hailaks eyes is he ok we dont know we can just push forward oh no the sky is broken. LIKEEEEEE ???? not to mention seed of redemption (which IS set after/around edgelnads right........i heard water lecias fate eps reference some stuff......which EVEN MORE makes sense of captains reaction of running away like they JUST missed their own dad & met mika&shitori who dad was telling stories to and whatnot + finding out either before or after whats actually up with their family. like the emotions are in SHAMBLES during that. adding on borrowing/using the omnipotents power during heart of the sun like. can i. can we. ???????????? do u get me. desperately holding onto anything that lets them be closer to their dad, even if it the logic doesnt make sense.

'how am i supposed to stay angry at you' petra im gonna be ill. i love you so much. desperately need a 'left behind by our parents' login story. ill read the lvl100 fate tmrw i cant deal with this rn<//3

in grans case especially & how i write them i think the 'i understand that my parents are likely doing something very very important' and 'i wish they werent/i wish they choose me instead' are sooooo messy..............lov things like that. love petras dialogue. love how gran can understand her wholeheartedly in that moment, even if she doesnt speak of it.

🍸🍄and🍓 also for any wip

gon stick to mm cause it fits best for these

🍸 character who inspired your mc

i wish i could explain my thought process at the time i came up with the trio in a way that isn't cringe and weird. to kinda simplify, renee and conrad arent inspired by any character, they're inspired by a mishmash of myself and my then-understanding of the psych theory behind torture victims and perpetrators and then also the million masks of god by manchester orchestra, like. just that whole entire album. uh cause i had it on repeat when i was coming up with mm. its that dumb yeah

🍄 name a song that represents your mc

some trio character anthems that arent on the official playlist:

renee: the only reason cocaine, sex & alcohol by noah gundersen didnt make the cut is cause its 7 minutes long and gives me anxiety lmfao conrad: rainmaker by hailaker or northern line by moddi davin: knives out by radiohead or a [redacted] song that'd give too much of the mystery away

🍓 worst thing you've done to your characters

mhm yeah uh

[klutzykelzy]

do you want to cry for hours and hours? well, do i have the song for you!
