The Afghan Whigs: Toy Automatic
Three listens for this one. I was just looking to describe the song (I think) and I did alright in that regard. However, I feel as though I could’ve fleshed this out a lot more. The Afghan Whigs’ “Toy Automatic” … Continue reading

Crippled Black Phoenix: Ellengæst
This is a review that was started late last year and finished over the past few days. I don’t know why I sat on the initial draft for so long, but it probably was due to burnout. I don’t think … Continue reading
HOME: Resonance
This one was written over three listens. “Resonance” is a song I’m familiar with but I found this easier to write than some of the other songs I’ve written about. With this I was mostly looking to describe what was … Continue reading
Infusion: Daylight Hours
With this one I spent a bit of time pausing and rewinding the song, trying to take in as much as I could. I think that there could have been a little less repetition. I think with this one I … Continue reading
