Hiiiiiiiii I'm Fresh!!

My song of the day: sad day - FKA twigs

sad day - This song has one of my favorite lyrical runs of all time.

• "I can imagine a world where my arms are embraced around you
  I lie naked and pure with intention to cleanse you and take you
  The city howls with a cry to seduce you and claim you
  So it’s time
  And it’s a sad day for sure"

Quite literally every time I hear this song, I stop what I’m doing and sing this part of this song. And then for an hour after... This song is actually so peak.

Also, if you like this song, please watch its music video. The production is amazing and really helped put the meaning into this song for me. If you like this video’s production, please check out Twigs’ other music videos on her Youtube channel. Twigs was originally an actor, so all of her videos are extremely well acted, casted, and produced.

(Note: On Genius, the second line of the above passage is quoted as “I lie naked and pure with intentions to *clench* you and take you,” which sounds silly and is absolutely not what she said, so I corrected it here. Even comments on Genius refer to the lyric as “cleanse,” so I assume it was a mistake on Genius’ part.)

My album of the week: Geogaddi - Boards of Canada

Geogaddi - This album is really unique. It feels very eerie, like it's straight out of a creepypasta, though can also be oddly comforting at some points. A song from this album, Beware The Friendly Stranger, is used in an adult animated series on Youtube called Salad Fingers, which is well known for its odd style and downright bizarre storytelling. I wouldn’t necessarily call this series horror, however, as it’s more weird than outright scary, though many pre-teens worldwide would disagree. Anyhow… A key feature of this album is its many vocal samples. Many of these vocal samples are not lyrical, and instead are spoken-word, dispersed throughout many songs as quiet murmurings or rhythmic elements rather than traditional lyrics.

At many points throughout this album, you may feel a shiver along your spine, or an uneasy warmth. This album may feel designed to make you uncomfortable, and I can definitely attest to similar feelings. This album is perfect for casual listening right around this time of year: the Halloween season! If you want an album similar to this one, but with a more experimental sound and production from another electronic staple, then you should check out Aphex Twin's Richard D. James Album.
