Robin Sloan’s mini-site around Moonbound is so great.

Welcome to the Dragon Moon

I listened to Pointy Heights by Fousheé. 🎵

Pointy Heights - Cover Art

Possibly could be listening to this one obsessively, remains to be seen. Loved the unusual, diverse productions on some of these tracks, retro but fresh sounding: some seemingly lovers rock type stuff, some 80s electro Afropop-type stuff, etc. Feels almost like listening to some nuggets comp or some DJ on community radio with impeccable taste for old international grooves. Don’t know the story yet on if this is her own production work or if she collaborated with someone on this, but I guess I’ll look into it.

I listened to My Method Actor by Nilüfer Yanya. 🎵

My Method Actor - Cover Art

Listened to this twice and I zoned out for the last few tracks both times. I don’t think I’m going to be replaying this as obsessively as I did PAINLESS.1 But maybe, if for no other reason than to figure out what I actually think about this album or if I can come to like it as much as her old stuff. Or if I add it to a playlist of her whole discography and start shuffling…

I listened to Is This It by The Strokes. 🎵

Is This It - Cover Art

For murky reasons I don’t understand, “Last Nite” has been in my head for days and nights now. The other morning, with the song in my head yet again, before walking out the door I scanned my shelves and pulled this actual decades-old-CD in its jewel case and took it to my car and slid it into my car’s actual CD player, and I’ve been listening to it on loop whenever I am driving ever since.

I listened to Rose Main Reading Room by Peel Dream Magazine. 🎵

Rose Main Reading Room - Cover Art

This wasn’t quite what I was hoping for after the first track I heard, but it is nice.

I listened to Ghosts by Hania Rani. 🎵

Ghosts - Cover Art

Very nice. One from last year I never spent much time with, but a track came up on shuffle and I immediately wanted to hear the whole album.

I listened to EKKSTACY by EKKSTACY. 🎵

EKKSTACY - Cover Art

At first, it made me miss Craft Spells. (Whatever happened to Craft Spells btw?) Then I wanted to be listening to BLACKSTARKIDS, or the new Toro album, or I’m not sure what else.

But by the halfway point I had finally accepted this for what it was and not what I expected or wanted it to be, and I realized it was pretty nice.

I listened to Hole Erth by Toro y Moi. 🎵

Hole Erth - Cover Art

Toro y Moi’s music is just endlessly listenable to me, almost no matter what does, though it often takes me a minute to come around to whatever his latest flavor is. This album is no exception.
