Excellent. Never heard of them. But resonates with a lot of good music.

"Awaken, My Love!"
Childish Gambino
It’s a 2.5 for me. The first half is edgey funk which I really enjoyed. But unfortunately this fizzled out.

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea

I was going to nominate this. Absolutely 5* album from left field.
Who knows what it is about, but who cares. Low fi brilliance. An indie classic.

As an Irishman I feel like I’m betraying Damien by not rating him higher. It is a cover I see everywhere, but it’s quite samey and the lowkey vibe tires after a while. Couple of great tunes, love Cannonball.
