Album Thoughts

This is an artist I have no context for outside of his music, but I know it slaps

Song Notes

GHOST

  • This is definitely Sour Music.-
  • This song gets stuck in my head really easily, but somehow I also manage to mentally transition it to a really gentle, lightly jazzy lounge piano piece… I’d really love to hear that version of this as well.

Sleepwalk

  • It feels like it’s dancing around the Infamous Jazz Lick
  • The guitar riffs here are so good…
  • Then the bloopy ending is cool, too.

pots & pans

  • The beginning has that heavenly chorus… What a wonderful way to wake up.
  • Then the kick drums feel proportionally really strong.
  • The way the guitar kicks in when the feelings are more intense is a beautiful composition choice.
  • I love the outro as much as the beginning. So soft…

FASHION (feat. PGE)

  • The ramp up of intensity in the chorus is powerful!
  • Then the bridge is so… spooky?
  • The chorus at the end is so good at being mysterious and spooky and mystic!!

change of seasons

  • So refreshing after the previous strange storm… Soft harps carry us along…

getting better

  • A fever dream. Floaty and optimistic and a little delirious. The bass is the only real grounding element…
  • im getting worse

if u think of me 2018

  • A rompy little song.
  • Forever and ever.

General Thoughts

  • I really love nelward’s lyricism. It’s good at sounding both profound and silly.
  • I also really love the melody choices. I never quite know where it’s going, even after I’ve heard the song a few times.
  • So many songs have a feeling like you’re about to tip into a fever dream.
