Seeing this wayyy too much in the comments (I don’t feel like reading reviews yet) of the new Kristin Hayter (formerly Lingua Ignota) album, albeit “pretentious” seems to be, more often than not, replaced with “corny” or “gimmicky.”

“The gospel and fake distortion gimmick gets old after a little bit and then it just keeps going…” Have you considered that she never intended for it to be a gimmick? That she manipulated the tape herself? Or are you maybe not listening to it in good faith by assuming that it’s purely a product for attention and fame, and that she’s somehow not capable of real experimentation?

szóval van a rateyourmusic zeneértékelő oldal és csináltam az összes minimum 4 csillagra értékelt és meghallgatott számból egy listát

illetve már másfelet mert csak 10 000 szám fér egy listába, de majd azt is posztolom ha megtelt

Brevyn / huge music fan since 2011. My formative favorites include Siouxsie, Cocteau Twins, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Grace Jones. Those should tell you a lot about my taste, although I was quick to obsess over electronic music and I like to cover whatever genre that interests me.

Moons And Melodies has been main outlet for my music/media writing, music curation and composing. My first post was late 2016 and I reached 470+ followers on Tumblr since then. What to expect:

obscure and/or underrated releases

promotion for my own music

mixes (full list here)

favorite new releases

favorite songs

discussion of various 80s music, including my favorite retro albums

lists

the visual side of music; cover art, soundtracks and videos

sampling

the occasional anniversary tribute

I'm active on Twitter, where I promote my posts and share some smaller stuff (like songs or cover art). You can also check out my Wordpress, which features some longer posts I couldn’t fit into Tumblr. 

I’m on Rateyourmusic / Sonemic, where I have several themed lists. I  also contributed to their Ultimate Box Set series twice.

Since Tumblr becomes more and more of a ghost town as time goes on, I feel less motivation to keep posting here. I’d appreciate it if you kept tabs on my other pages if you like this blog. Thanks for following!
