CHILLFILTR (46 KP) rated Upside Down by Matt Shill in Music

He says his foundation is all rock and soul but we also hear some deep folk roots. Matt Shill is a singer-songwriter from New York, currently based in Miami, Florida. He has a great falsetto, and something about this groove gets me giddy; the 6/8 is so fast you sort of miss it until you are forced to wonder where the snare hits are coming from. It's like an audio version of Where's Waldo, and it's just fun.

This song is a journey through somewhere we've never been. It feels Raphael Saadiq at the same time it feels like Damien Rice; this is modern music at it's best: true synthesis between roots of folk, soul, and rock with a strong voice, good polish, and some elements of surprise.

Eligh rocks with his mum
This allbum shouldn't work but it does. Eligh is a rapper, his mum is a folk singer. They create these amazing songs together and it just works. I honestly don't know what to say more than that. Just try it, it's unique.

I bought this book ages ago because I watched the film and enjoyed it.
Every review I've seen has said how comical the story is, and how good a book it is.
I must admit I laughed a couple of times, and I enjoyed the story, it was well written and I got through it quite quickly.
That being said however, reading it in 2021, I found certain aspects of it slightly offensive. And also thought the way that she portrayed the starkadders was quite cruel. To me the book portrayed a sense of 'us city folk are better than you country folk.' . Maybe that was the big joke, but I didn't find it very amusing.
All on all it was an alright read, definitely nothing amazing as I've always thought it was hyped up to be.

Entertainment Editor (1988 KP) shared own list

Oct 19, 2017
"Minimalist music" has its own largely rigid definition in modern classical music (a genre that Steve Reich, Philip Glass and La Monte Young have contributed to), but Cool Hunting has highlighted how contemporary artists are taking these compositional techniques and applying them in their own music across all genres—be it ambient, pop, folk or electronic.

What do you make of these reductionist albums?

Rolling Stone's 471st greatest album of all time (485th in the 2020 list)
It's hard to say whether I dislike country or folk more. This was less horrid than some of the country I have had to listen to, but still not enjoyable. Quite slow and dirgey at times, while there a couple of memorable songs, the final stages is very slow and not enjoyable.
