Kirsten Dunst's 𝘙𝘦𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘳 𝘔𝘢𝘥𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴. Something about plants or some shit idek, trees haven't made this little sense since 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 but by God would you *look* at it? At its best unbelievably emotive and ethereal, you could even call it fragile by the way its temperamental existence unendingly slips in and out of consciousness. At its worst the same mopey, stupid, meandering indie trappings that A24 had an intolerable fetish for that year but still done wildly better than the likes of shittier 2017 fare such as 𝘈 𝘎𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺, 𝘐𝘵 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘈𝘵 𝘕𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵, and 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘯 𝘗𝘦𝘵𝘦. Kind of wish this just dropped the subpar 10% of a story that leeches onto the otherworldly artistic bouts of pot-fueled dainty chaos but it honestly doesn't get in the way too much. Too many gorgeous frames to even count. Spent the last half hour of this with watery eyes and mouth agape not only for its sheer beauty, sheer singularity in spite of genre trope reusage... but for how commandingly it bats for the fences and doesn't let up even a little bit. Not concerned for a second about being coherent or restrained at all beyond one feature length bad, trippy, fully immersive high. Pretty much a live action Nicole Dollanganger music video.

Morning by Beck

(0 Ratings)

Track

"This is track two on Beck’s Morning Phase, his ninth studio record, which I discovered after touring Radlands around America three times. I’d always appreciated Beck from a distance, but I never had an emotional connection to his music. I loved “Loser” and it was fun to spin him at an indie disco, but I didn’t have that real relationship with his music. But when this came out it blew my mind; it was such an incredible record. “It was written and recorded as a counterpart to Sea Change, his previous record. It used a lot of the same musicians and it was recorded in Nashville. It has that real blissed out, opioid induced country music feel to it - very floaty. To me, it really felt like it was his mid-life crisis record, the musical version of him buying a Bugatti and running off with his secretary. “Just like with King Crimson and Cass McCombs, Beck’s Morning Phase completely influenced Curve of the Earth and it gave us the sonic blueprint for that record. The blueprint was this woozy, washed out, ethereal, very spacious, widescreen feel. There are tinges of country there, but it’s more of a headphone stoner record."

Bong Mines Entertainment (15 KP) rated Meteor Showers by Andy Kong in Music

Jun 26, 2019

Andy Kong is a singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist based in San Francisco, California. Not too long ago, he released a charming pop tune, entitled, “Westfalia”.

“‘Westfalia’ is the exhilaration of driving with the windows down on a sunny day. The freedom of letting it all go. Or the simplicity of spending time just relaxing with friends.” – Andy Kong

‘Westfalia’ tells an interesting tale of a young guy who follows the emotions that he is feeling inside.

Therefore, when he envisions visiting a far off town, he immediately departs with his significant other inside a comfortable automobile.
Moments later, they are cruising 55 miles-per-hour in the slow lane down the California coast, where they experience true bliss.

‘Westfalia’ contains a dreamy storyline and ear-welcoming vocals. Also, the likable tune possesses lush instrumentation scented with a nostalgic indie-pop aroma.

In 2015, Andy Kong broke through with his emotive “Meteor Showers” EP. Since then, the 6-track project has amassed over 10 million streams online via Spotify.

Kong self-produces every song from start to finish, making each true to his vision and voice. Get acquainted with his music by streaming his “Meteor Showers” EP via Spotify.

Jul 10, 2019

Viviana is an 18-year-old singer-songwriter from Houston, Texas. Not too long ago, she released an adorable indie-pop tune, entitled, “Rain”.

“You’ll be surprised by how little you really know about yourself today or any day at all. Just leave behind all that mess going on in your brain and for now just enjoy the rain.” – Viviana

‘Rain’ tells a wonderful tale of a young woman who wants to have fun and spend some family time with her sister. Apparently, she wants them to chill and watch old movies of when they were teenagers.

Shortly afterward, she suggests that they go out and play in the rain like they used to do when they were young and carefree.
‘Rain’ contains a relatable storyline and ear-welcoming vocals. Also, the likable tune possesses appealing instrumentation flavored with sentimental elements.

“This song was dedicated to my sister in hopes of reminding her, and everyone who hears it, the simpler and sweeter times of our childhood.” – Viviana

Viviana has been singing and playing instruments such as guitar, piano, and ukulele since she was 10-years-old. This fall, she will be attending Berklee College of Music.

Also, “Rain” is featured on her latest EP, entitled, “I Mean What I Say”.
