<h2 id="2025-01-12">w/c 2025-01-12</h2>
<p>Quite a lot of upbeat pop with very solid, well-defined rhythms this week - plus a couple of albums which ranged from pretty intense electronica through indie pop to interesting jazz.</p>
<p>The top song this week is either Blackout by NEEVE, or Petrichor by BILBAO and NEEVE. Blackout has a particular heaviness to it that I adore, especially with the repeated, reverb-y motifs that are sprinkled throughout the whole track. Petrichor is just so happy and sing-along-able while also maintaining a pleasing amount of substantial bassline added into the mix.</p>
<p>A slightly unexpected addition to the week was Utopian Frequencies by 65daysofstatic. The whole album is intense, programmed, and slightly crazy but I'm kinda here for it? I do not have the words, but it's fun, so who cares.</p>
<p>Other notable mentions from this week is the album Captured Spirits by Mammal Hands (great jazz) and the track Drunk on a Rhythm by Gothic Tropic (a throwback).</p>
