Entries about the music I like.
Wilco – Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Dropped on September 18, 2001, in an America deeply embroiled in that nation’s largest collective post-war trauma, Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtot became an accidental synecdoche. Sonically, the album captured something of the upheaval and incongruity of that era in the history of America and the world, while lyrically striking a tone of surreal apathy.
cLOUDDEAD — cLOUDDEAD
People in the know insist on calling the whiny nasal stream-of-consciousness ramblings of cLOUDDEAD hip-hop. I don’t know why, but as a compromise, let’s settle for experimental abstract hip-hop. Remember cloud rap? I do. A strong case can be made for cLOUDDEAD’s cLOUDDEAD being the first cloud rap album, and I’d be making that argument if my brain could digest this experimental electronic album as rap. Woo, what a fascinating album 😘
