Japan is a country that is intriguing in more ways than one.

Though the other two tracks on this 3 track EP are decent compositions, I am still stuck listening to track one on repeat. Slowly Collapsing Star evokes so much emotion that it is quite difficult to put into words. I had read a … Continue reading Meh or Yeh Album Reviews

Žagar

abigailpixler5452

A Time Capsule’s Tale HUNGARY | EXPERIMENTAL/PSYCHEDELIC I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I love when I can’t define a band’s music! Though, this is something entirely different from the likes of China’s Leah Dou or Iceland’s Björk. This is psychedelic, man. Like, totally.

Upon first listen, you can pick up the subtleties drawing from inspirations like The Doors and Pink Floyd, but the band also stays inspired by newer artists like Floating Points … Continue reading Žagar
