Review-kus.

Originally I wanted to review every album I bought/otherwise listened to this year. Clearly, I've slacked on that. Partially cos there have been a lot of albums that, for whatever reason, I don't feel like writing a full review for. So what I have decided to do is give a few really quick reviews all at once.... in haiku form. Here we go!

Snow Blindness is Crystal Antz by Black Mold (Chad VanGaalen side project)
Twitchy electro
Random homemade instruments
Some brilliant moments

Download Memes by Black Mold

Eats Darkness by Apostle of Hustle
Excellent music
But the spoken interludes
Ruin the flow, mood

Download by Xerxes Apostle of Hustle

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
With quirky music
And some intriguing lyrics
Does not disappoint

Download Ready, Able by Grizzly Bear

Yes! by k-os
A solid album
With some great guest musicians
And damn catchy songs.
