music: listening roundup feat. big thief (01/09/24)

happy new year! i wanted to do another roundup post to help myself keep track of what i listen to, so here's some more recent albums:

• an albatross-- we are the lazer viking (frenetic noise punk)
• crocodile bambie-- bloody tree (stoner/melodic sludge)
• cherish-- project xoxo (hardcore straightedge)
• low-- hey what (alt/folk/indie pop)
• liz phair-- exile in guyville (90s alt from matador, feels like straight stoner girl gender euphoria)
• deftones-- white pony and black stallion which is an album of white pony remixes (nu metal)
• big thief-- dragon new warm mountain i belioeve in you (alt/folk/indie)

the dominant item on this list is dnwmibiy, which i've been going through over and over because it's so damn good. on first listen i wasn't super crazy about it. all the songs seemed to blend together. i think that's because the instrumentation is so subtle and layered that
