Gilla Band - Pugnello ('26)

Didn't realize this dropped last week, so glad to see they're back. Insane album, definitely gonna be in my regular rotation for awhile. Been in the mood for some new noise rock, so glad this didn't disappoint.

Today's #DailyListen is Samiam's Astray (2000). #Punk? #Hardcore? #Emo? All of it? Most of their albums were cornerstones of my depressed teenage years. Saw them open for Less Than Jake whose fans hated them. Samiam's response? "We're gonna play even more songs 'cause you guys are dicks." Fuck yeah.

Back to the #DailyListen with a stellar #vaporwave mixtape on repeat this #Cassunday: i2k.live The Mixtape. Great selections from a stunning festival and a perfect introduction to current vapor acts.

Russian Circles - Gnosis ('22) ReListen

Think this is head and shoulders their best album, even upon relisten for the first time in three years it hits as hard as it did the first time. Fantastic album.

Russian Circles - Blood Year ('19)

Takes an opposite approach from previous albums, where it starts out more understated while building to the loud raw grooves later in the album. Works really well as an album.

Russian Circles - Guidance ('16)

Not any standout tracks outside one imo, but the flip side is it's one of the more consistent albums in their discog. Just solid all the way through, it's probably my least favorite so far, but I think that's only due to other album's highs.

Russian Circles - Memorial ('13) ReListen

First album I remember hearing from them after a friend shared the title track with Chelsea Wolfe. Very pretty album, esp when compared to their earlier heavy albums. Still a great listen, still not sure why I stopped in 23.

Russian Circles - Empros ('11)

Overall enjoyed this, it loses a bit of its steam halfway through, but solid album.

Russian Circles - Geneva ('09)

These early Russian Circles albums are so much more melodic than I was expecting. Still every bit as heavy and in your face, but a lot of fantastic songs.

#dailylisten - 09/21/26
Russian Circles - Station ('08)

Easily my favorite album I have heard from them so far. It doesn't waste a single second of runtime, just a fantastic album.

Russian Circles - Enter ('06)

Can't believe how strong they came out of the gate with this one. I'm so happy I somehow only listened to two of their albums last year, cause I have so much great music ahead of me if this first is any indication. One of my fav post rock acts.

Adéla - PRIMA ('26)

Had been really liking the few songs I've heard my wife playing the last few weeks so decided to check the album out. One of my favorite pop releases so far this year, Boys is such an insane ear worm I can't get the song out of my head.

Mount Kimbie - Love What Survives ('17)

I love what they're doing instrumentally here, but I don't gel with the majority of the vocals on this. I'm probably gonna dip out of their discog at this point, esp considering I found out I have so much more Russian Circles to hear.

Mount Kimbie - Cold Spring Fault Less Youth ('13)

Flat out didn't really care for this direction. Gonna still give the third album an attempt since the song that got me intrigued about them was off that one. Don't really see myself revisiting this.

Rhododendron - Ascent Effort ('26)

I knew when I first heard Protozoan Battle Hymns they had a lot of promise & just need to mature in their sound. This album is a testament to the work theyve put in over the last 5years. Beautiful at times, dark in others, I love this band.

Mount Kimbie - Crooks & Lovers ('10)

Dont listen to much dubstep to begin with, so wasnt sure what to expect from an album described as post-dubstep. Ended up enjoying this for the most part, the drums are the most interesting bit musically. Liked the song off 3rd LP I heard

#dailylisten - 09/14/26
Malcriada - TEROÍA DE CONSPIRACIÓN ('26)

This EP feels a bit more focused it's only 11min, but they do much less genre hopping & I think that's for the better. Definitely interested to see what the next LP looks like from them, but I'm definitely a fan of what they're doing

#dailylisten - 09/14/26
Malcriada - ESTÁ BIEN LLORAR </3 ('25)

They dabble in quite a few different styles, overall I think I liked this noise pop vibe a few of the songs had going on. I think they're still a little fresh in terms of songwriting, but they have a lot of promise imo

#dailylisten - 09/13/26
Caspian - On Circles ('20)

I'll be blunt, I didn't like this. The only release from them that I did not enjoy, I hope their new stuff is a bit of a return to form. I was okay with the new style when it was the smaller side of Dusk & Disquiet, but it being a full LP isnt it.

#dailylisten - 09/12/26
Caspian - Dusk & Disquiet ('15)

I'll be honest I don't think traditional vocals works with their music. It's only one song, but it's probably my least favorite overall. I like the vocal sound collage they sometimes do, but this didn't work for me. Darkfield is an all timer.
