The Microphones- The Moon

I drove up to the city at night And found the place where you grew up And then where you stayed And then we walked around and stayed up late Under city lights, and I spent the night Next to you in the house where you grew up Next to you, I miraculously woke up In your parents' house I lied in bed with you

I went back to feel alone there I went back to wipe it clean I took the lights and radio towers out of my dreams

The Glow, Pt. 2

The Microphones review

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This might be (or at least will very likely grow to be) one of my favorite albums in a long while. It is astonishing to me how Elverum was able to create such a cohesive and iconic indie-folk-rock staple in the way that he did - something about The Glow Pt. 2 is just remarkable - unlike anything I've ever heard before. From the opener I Want Wind to Blow"(one of my favorites) to the closer of My Warm Blood, Elverum conveys beautiful sentiments of loneliness, desperation, and love. When at 5 minutes into the 9.5 min closer I began to hear the unmistakable guitar of the opener among the static and pulsating noises, the record cemented itself as having blown me away. It's not easy to make an almost 10-minute final track to an album that is over an hour that leaves you hanging onto every noise. The sound of the heartbeat… … More Specific numerical value: high 9 to honestly a ten Favorite track(s): I Want Wind to Blow, The Moon, The Mansion, I'll Not Contain You, Map, I Felt My Size, Samurai Sword Any Skips? - Definitely not Will it grow on me? - god definitely

some albums i enjoyed! 7-19-23

i want to highlight some albums from the past few weeks I have listened to and enjoyed. these releases will be both new and old; i just want to speak my thoughts and praises on these albums. looking forward to doing future installments of this when i get the chances!

The Beggar - Swans (2023)

new Swans! and it may be Gira's last effort. this is a big step-up from their last effort. this album is a lot more focused, bringing a slow, folk sound. we're bringing back the 30min+ songs back! The Beggar Lover (Three) is a cool and long nod to the trilogy; i love it! tracks like The Beggar and Paradise is Mine are great tracks too. it's an overall great record to leave on, if this is Gira's last effort with Swans. who knows!

The Glow Pt. 2 - The Microphones (2001)

ugh, this may be a big one for me if i'm not careful. an album that's always been on my radar for it's cult following. The Glow Pt. 2 is beautiful, raw, and fragile. the lo-fi production can turn these soft, quiet songs into deep, emotional, and visceral experiences of music. The Moon is my favorite track on here; a track full of energy and rawness that encapsulates the listener in a driving organ, energetic drums, and beautiful saxophone licks. I Felt Your Shape is a track i've been sharing with someone close, hehe! i can see this record only growing closer with me as i give it more time.

For the First Time - Black Country, New Road (2021)

i put on this album too much. it's too good. i love the anxiety this album emits. the chamber influences on this post-punk/hardcore sound is unmatched. tracks like Science Fair and Sunglasses make me FERAL. everything about this record is so addictive. i'm working on a full length review, so i'm limiting myself for this short review. i just can't get enough of this album!

do u see my vision

[hypnorico]

Not many can claim they've made an album with this perfect of an opener!

[ohgodmusic]

There's no black or white, no change in light No night, no golden sun The sound of cars, the smell of bars, the awful feeling of electric heat Under fluorescent lights, there's sacrifice, there's hard feelings, there's pointless waste

recently, i've been getting loads of album reactions on my yt homepage, all for the glow pt. 2 strangely.. the other day i finally took the bait, purely out of curiosity and discovered such an intriguing man—

something about his overly exaggerated reactions, the way he refuses to view the album through any lens other than as a breakup album, his analysis of the tracks always being literal and somehow always containing the name of the song within it, the fucking "his ex-girlfriend is now a polar bear and he's trying to kill her with a sword" quote— i can't tell if it's entirely performative or if this man is experiencing the album more genuinely than anyone else
