Impossible Kid - Aesop Rock
Just a classic, off-the-beaten-path rap album. Listening to Aes' music is like solving a good puzzle, you just keep coming back and finding more to learn and love about it. This album is no exception.
Kirby, a light-hearted song about his cat, is a great introduction to Aes (I've managed to get a few people hooked with this one) while Rings or Blood Sandwhich cut a bit deeper. You'll probably find something you like on here or your money back.
LYSFLAtH - Godspeed! Black Emperor
Wow! Talk about an album!
First of all, it does all the things a good album should do: tell a full and complete story. But, more importantly, it does this entirely in the Post-Rock genre, notably featuring little to no lyrics.
YES! They tell a whole and complete story with less unique words than I'm using now to write about the album itself. Just the music, the themes, and the tone. True masterpiece.
Tales from Cazilor - Naethan Apollo
What a great display of creativity by pulling in the worldbuilding of a D&D campaign with characters, places, backstories all into a gen-z indie-pop dream with interludes to spare.
Summer Night in Domita still gives me goosebumps, like, WOW. Lots of people struggle to tell their backstories on game night let alone compose a catchy song and record it! Night Watch will never not feel exactly what it's like to play D&D with a good friend and the riff is so scrumptious.
