Written when she was only 16 years old, the seven-track album – released three years after its inception – is more of a time capsule than an accurate reflection of now, blending together fractured pop melodies with diaristic lyrics. Influenced by 00s Midwestern emo and the Melbourne hardcore scene that adopted her in her early teens, the songs are written in drop emo tuning, giving the mixtape a grungy feel, while static-heavy guitar imbues the tracks with emotional oomph. “I won’t bleed for you,” she cries in opener “cemetery dreams” against a squall of fractured sonics. A delightfully moody soundtrack to kickstart your bank holiday weekend. Elsewhere, Kehlani shares a breezy new album, Organ Tapes opts for abstract soundscapes on his latest release, and Let's Eat Grandma celebrate the power of friendship BLACKWINTERWELLS, CRYSTAL SHARDS BATU, OPAL DAINE, QUANTUM JUMPING KEHLANI, BLUE WATER ROAD GIRLPOOL, FORGIVENESS LET’S EAT GRANDMA, TWO RIBBONS ORGAN TAPES, CHANG ZHE NA WU REN WEN JIN DE GE YAO Escape the algorithm!
