Already a favourite of mine! Got that on vinyl. Personal favourite is Ichiko Aoba - 0! Definitely give that a spin.

I've been eyeing her discography and am a fan of some songs, especially "amuletum", but this might just be the push that I needed to fully dive into one of her albums, tysm!

You're welcome. Lemme know how it goes!!! It was the first album I heard from her.

It's great! Definitely better than a lot of her other recent stuff and the features are really amazing.

Agreed. Some of the featured tracks are my favourite including Ikkyu's feature!

Eyyy fine choices. Those were up there for me too! I'll be seeing Sampha live soon.

I'm so jealous I need sampha to come to Ireland. Kendrick lemar was casually at a sampha concert recently that's how good he is

I'm surprised he hasn't toured there! I also saw Kendrick a while back hoping Sampha would turn up for Father Time hahaha.

Aaah is it Australia? All ages show are rare there. : ' ) I've been meaning to listen to what is your name. I'll try their stuff out soon! Ooh! 10,000 gecs was pretty awesome indeed.

yeah sadly, alvvays is also an 18+ show which sucks ass, and yeah def check out wiyn!!! theyre awesome

Me too! I'm old enough so I was lucky enough to go see Alvvays. Surely, they'll be back. Highly recommend. I will!! Hope you get to go to more shows soon!

I try to. The last big one I went to was Unknown Mortal Orchestra.

Ooh I still need to try them out! What's a good album to start?

I would start with their latest album V and work your way down. I would skip IC-01 Hanoi and the SB series though. It's like a side project within a project. If that makes sense. It's not like those projects in particular are necessarily terrible, but it is an ambient project along with the SB series.

The Weeknd and Heaps Good are the only ones so far, if weeknd even comes

Ah man. That sucks that he cancelled. : ( I would get tickets but it means missing other shows I'm more keen for.

Yeah those are their best work by far! Haha same here man. It's why I haven't been able to commit to the projects I previously told you about. I'm hoping I can work on it when things are less stressful!

Yeah I've known Lamp for a while!! That and their whole discog is very consistent! Have you heard of Halcali or Serani Poji? Reckon you might like em.

I've heard and listened to both of them. They're both good but I should listen to them more.

I'm open to everything ! If you had an artist to introduce now, what would it be?

Hm! Maybe Ichiko Aoba or Slowdive? Saw them live recently and they sounded incredible!

That's all good! Honestly, you're going to get a lot of chances to see a show soon! Oh yeah what shoegaze do you like?

My favourite band is julie but I also like my bloody valentine, uche nekoko, my dead girlfriend, Mass of fermenting dregs, Kinoko teikoko, supercar, sadness and asian glow. But honestly most shoegaze bands are really good, just haven't listened to them a lot yet. :) Have you seen anyone else live?

Ooh yeah I've heard a bit of Julie recently. Love the EP they dropped! I love a lot of those bands. I've seen a lot this year already like Weyes Blood, Carly Rae Jepsen. In terms of shoegaze, I'll be seeing Slowdive next month which I'm super excited for! I go to gigs all the time! Feel free to see the events I'm going!

rlly??? that's soo fcking cool! i think u may like bloody dead and sexy or pianos become the teeth, they're great. do u have recommendations for me? i would love to listening them

Ooh I just heard a few tracks from both! They're all great! Never heard of deathrock until then and Pianos is some good indie. Of course! In terms of dream pop/shoegaze from Asia, I'd love to recommend Megumi Acorda and Della Zyr! Lemme know how they go.

ichiko's voice is just heavenly. i see lamp and tricot in your library too that's cool af

I love both!! I've actually seen and met tricot live. Absolute sweethearts. I'll be seeing Ichiko live really soon as well!

I did! I was quite lucky. It coincided with my holiday in the Philippines and they toured around the same time!

Thank you so much! I'll let you know how it goes. Can't wait!

woah, are you gonna publish the vid? if so, do send me the link cause im curious!

Hey of course! I still intend to make it. I'm just kinda swamped with irl and making sure I interpret the video right! I can send my YouTube channel in the messages if ya like!

yea sure send it, and gl with what you need to do :)

and i suppose you like midori so i really vibe your taste. also ping pong the animation is one of the finest shows ever made.

Yes! They made one of my fave 2000s albums ever. I agree. It's my fave sports anime too!!

I will!! What's your fave album by her? : o

Windswept Adan has my heart, but I adore the live performances she does

It's hard to choose between 0 and Adan but the latter has really helped lift me up lately. Same!!! All her live albums are great especially 0% which is sadly not on Spotify.

Awesome!! I'll let you know when I start it! Awesome taste btw! I saw you like Alvvays, JPEGMAFIA and Carly! Seen all of em live!

That sounds awesome. Isn't that technically a festival? I wish I knew more Hardcore. I'm more of a Post-Hardcore person. Eg. Number Girl, Mass of the fermenting dregs, Fugazi

Such a hard question dsjfklsjd, my first thought was Timeless Communications from UNCHAIN, and I don't know if it really counts but I love the My Dress Up Darling OST, so that would also be a favorite. As a third choice, Backwards Compatible by The 8-Bit Big Band was an experience by itself. Thanks for the question though, it really was nice to remember those albums. :)

Dude thanks!! : ) I also love those aforementioned artists. I saw Idles live 2 years ago. I love all of Ichiko's discog. Can't decide between Adan or 0 being my fave right now. I've been out of the loop music-wise but I can recommend Beyond the Fleeting Gales by Crying if you haven't tried that yet. Power pop goodness from 2016. Lemme know how that flies. Gimme some recs, too!

Thanks! I'll definitely check it out! I will recommend listening to 'I am SAKURAN-ZENSEN' by 錯乱前戦. It's a great punk/garage rock album with super energetic and fun tracks. Let me know how it goes! :D

I'm listening to it right now! It sounds pretty fun already. Where did you find this? I'll let you know how it goes.

Kay, sweet. I haven't been a huge fan of hers, only when it came to Boygenius. Buuuuuut, I'll give it a shot.
