the time machine school - kinoue64
type: album
genres: shoegaze, indie rock
date released: 9 march 2024
i think it was cute! thought most of these songs didn't leave such a strong impression on me as past kinoue64 releases.... but i guess that's to be expected. with that said i did enjoy a few of these!
this is also (to my knowledge) the first release where they use their voice instead of using miku! which honestly i did not expect since this released on miku day (march 9th) but it was a very welcome and pleasant surprise! i like their voice a ton.

am i sinking or am i swimming? - late night drive home
type: EP
genres: indie rock
date released: 17 september 2021
i've been an enjoyer of stress relief for the past 3 years or so, so i thought it was about time i checked out the EP that it came from!
this was a very pleasant listening experience :) it's been SUCH a long ass time since i've heard some random ass indie rock release... i really really missed this sound so much not that it has gone anywhere but i personally have been listening to it less and less over the years.
it's pretty hard for any song in here to surpass stress relief because of my extreme bias to it, but still, i found this EP to be quite lovely. i even find it a bit nostalgic...
highlights: stress relief, euphoria, nostalgic love rock

나는야 찌질이 (i'm a loser) - hongbi
type: EP
genres: indie pop
date released: 30 january 2022
an EP i found through koreanindie like 2 years ago?? that i've been meaning to listen to. i scrolled to the bottom of my spotify saved albums (which are my to-listen-later's btw) and found this one. AGAIN. i decided to git it a go since it's pretty short and i just felt in love.
what a charming little EP, it felt like i was in a dream. the instrumentals and vocals are very simple and yet it's so lovely. i really enjoyed this

changes to listening log format!
as i have talked about on a recent journal log, i will be changing up how i do these listening log since i simply won't have the time to do them on a monthly basis anymore because of uni and all of that. i figured i could do them with seasons instead! and hopefully i can keep making these once every month or so!
