its Wednesday evening, im sitting alone getting tipsy just by listening to jhl from MacBook Pro 14’ 2023 Apple M2 Pro speakers.
this is what i call A Sweet Melancholy.

♦

they say you can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness and it has to be true because i’ve been struggling with taking my ears of “concertina” - a blissful, dreamful, beautiful, meaningful, peaceful, cheerful, eventful marathon of ballads about all the tastes of Longing.

you see, usually, A Song is an empty shell to fill with one's soul. the fundament of this album is a collection of The-Ultimate-Poppiest-Pop-Songs that have been heard and (over)used so many times they are not (and they can’t be [and maybe they should not be]) shells anymore - they became sonic monuments appropriated by Those Who Own.
[don’t get me wrong - part of the pop’s charm is the fact that it is not emotionally owned by you]
jhl builds their own story on this fucked up fundament and it’s a story so intimate and so earnest that listening through these covers feels like reading an autobiography or screaming the deepest of your lungs out into the sky. it feels deeply Real. it feels cathartic.

the sparkling piled up granuling granular granules of vibrant sound design, the scintillating symphonies, the tight punchy crunchy crispy drums, the biosphere of OSCs, the tender angelic cherubic smooth vocals, The Infatuations.

♦

as you grow old, you change! your music taste changes, your eyesight gets worse, your back starts aching and memories collected through the years change too! jhl covers transcend the originals. they give them a new meaning. they let you merge with civilizational memories embedded in them.
Beautiful, Powerful and Magical - that’s what that album is
🥀

ps Owl City had a nice track with Carly Rea Jepson for ‘Wreck It Ralph’ - that album brought it back to my queue

Somebody that I used to know (feat. Disphing)

DJ RE:CODE @ HI-SCORES HOUSE 04.18.25 [Twitch Mix]

no broke boys dembow

Con “re:float”, yves aoi y kęnåi proponen una obra breve pero profundamente evocadora, que captura el pulso emocional de una generación criada entre en el internet y el descubrimiento digital. La canción condensa años de exploración autodidacta en el universo de la música electrónica, y marca al mismo tiempo un cierre y un punto de fuga de un paisaje sonoro que está marcado por la ternura, la nostalgia y los sonidos etéreos, como nuevos lugares de fantasía que se encuentran en el ciberespacio.

El track se mueve con ligereza entre lo onírico y lo estructuralmente fragmentado, manteniendo siempre un eje íntimo. Su diseño sonoro combina texturas digitales con una sensibilidad melódica que sugiere más de lo que afirma, dejando espacio a la interpretación personal y a la construcción de paisajes interiores.

“re:float” marca el primer adelanto del próximo compilado de Centtauri Institute, un compilado de música electrónica que funciona como punto de encuentro para artistas de distintos rincones del mundo. Este nuevo lanzamiento reúne voces de tres continentes en una exploración colectiva de paisajes sonoros que, aunque diversos en estilo y procedencia, dialogan entre sí a través de una sensibilidad común: la búsqueda de lo emocional, lo atmosférico y lo experimental dentro de la música electrónica contemporánea.

"Centtauri Institute vol. 1" estará disponible el próximo 25 de julio en todas las plataformas, todos los fondos recaudados serán destinados al Palestinian Children's Relief Fund.

This one’s for U . . .
		. . . but U gotta look into my eyes first . . . 

I want you to be mad you didn’t think of it
I want you to want to keep the plastic
I want you to extract the acapella
I want you to feel like you can grasp it

I want that Poplife walk right talk nice
I want that first-class New York to Japan flight
I use my God-given name more than the one you call me
I didn’t have a choice， you didn’t earn the right

I’m in six figures of debt to multiple parties
I don’t regret anything more than making Johnny johnny
I can’t wait no more， cut the room in half — 
Girls to the front， boys to the back！ 

I split myself in two，  accidentally gave it all to U
Get your phones out， I like how it looks from the back
Get your phones out， I like how it looks from the back

I split myself in two，  I didn’t mean to give it all to U
Get your phones out， I like how it looks from the back
Get your phones out， I like how it looks from the back

I . . . O . . . U！ 

I split myself in two，  accidentally gave it all to U
Get your phones out， I like how it looks from the back
Get your phones out， I like how it looks from the back
