Biosphere - Shortwave Memories (Biophon, 21st January 2022)

[blantchot1]

give me your hand
Geir, my friend
and I will lead you  
to the land of
abundance, joy, and happiness
where queen of Helva rules

[scumtron]

Why didn't Pitchfork review this? Is it a part of the war on white CIS-men in their 50's???

Does Gier even send out review copies? A lot of the Biophon releases seem a bit under the radar.

Had a good life quality improvment when I decided to stop reading the occasional Pitchfork review.

I can't remember the last time I thought a "Best New Music" album on Pitchfork was worth a damn.

The only Pitchfork reviews worth reading are reissues and the old album ones on Sundays, because they're usually well researched historical pieces about the album rather than just hype about why they think it's good after three listens.

after a couple more listen, bleh

not bad, not great

Masterpiece imo

The war on white CIS-men, would be suitable in the bad artist names thread.

Really impressed with this album, I was immediately hooked as soon as I heard Tanß. Album Gives me Badalamenti meets Vangelis vibes.
