That feeling when one of your favourite bands is finally, after 20 years, releasing a new album :D

After two movie-inspired mixtapes, British quartet Bastille often use other’s stories, or “Other People’s Heartache” as they call it, to draw a scene. The indie-pop sounds are perfect for lonely summer nights or while travelling far away from home.

AURORA is a Norwegian singer known for here etherial sound of the last few years. She started of with dark, alternative pop sound, gradually changing to bigger melodies and deeper lyrics. Her nickname “Fairy of Pop” fits her well with her absolutely hilarious and carefree stage presence!

The Avalanches revolutionized electronic music with their heavy use of samples. Their debut album “Since I Left You” was almost fully made of samples making it a pivotal work in the plunderphonics genre.

Next is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. I used to listen to All Time Low in high school and while not all of their albums hit the same, their alt rock sound make me feel nostalgic!

Three vinyl records in clear/pink/gold and white/maroon by All Time Low.

First up is Alfie Templeman! This UK based artist was only 15 years old when he released his first EP! His psychedelic dreampop style makes it a chill spin for a lazy Sunday morning.

My record collection is getting so big, that there are records in there that I barely listen to. Over a few weeks I’m going through my entire collection from A to Z, while hopefully giving you guys some new stuff to listen to :)

Throwback to that time at EF I was just sitting outside when some random furry I’ve never seen before got angry at me for pronouncing blåhaj the Swedish way.

I commissioned two versions. So far I only got a WIP from one version with a couple of errors and in a very low resolution.

During that time the communication was very on and off. They wouldn’t reply for weeks or months. Since October 6th, 2024 they haven’t replied to any of my questions. What should I do now? (2/2)

I need your guys’ advice. Two and a half years ago I commissioned some art from an artist that did an icon for me that I absolutely loved. To this day I still haven’t received my full commission (only a low-res coloured WIP). (1/2)

Upgraded my slipmat from a cork one to white acrylic. Best. Decision. Ever.

Today my brain decided to use the word justn’t with full confidence and my class laughed at me. Fair tbh
