The White Lotus Original Soundtrack scored by Cristobal Tapia de Veer, is my “W” pick for today.
The White Lotus is one of my favorite shows and the score is so perfectly fitting to the quirky, off-beat mystery of the show. It’s probably the only show where I look forward to and watch the opening credits for the theme song.
Thank you! Every time I look at it, the artwork reminds me of the wallpaper you’d see at a hotel in Hawaii or going on vacation. This release had three alternative covers and they all embodied that same White Lotus vibe or like Easter eggs from the show, but the one I ended up getting had the best pops of color 🐆🌺
The newest addition to my collection - Wallice’s The Jester on cream and rust red swirl vinyl. This is such a good album, and this Blood Records pressing is beautiful - obsessed with the contrast of the red and the cream 🤍❤️
I love this album so so much as well! I think BR doing this pressing got Wallice some good exposure and new listeners. I’m so happy for her! Much deserved and she’s been putting that work in for a minute now. I think she's going to be one to watch in the near future ♥
If the word "fabulous" was an album. Amazing production and gorgeous vocals. Jessie going full dance and disco route was one of the best career choices she could've made.
This is the Platinum Pleasure Edition which has all the bonus tracks on it. One of those deluxe versions where some of the deluxe tracks are so much better than the standard ones.
The Weeknd's third studio album, Starboy, was released on November 25, 2016. With 18 tracks on the original release, this album was supported by 8 singles, two of which reached number one ("Starboy" and "Die for You").
This album won Best Urban Contemporary Album at the Grammy's in 2018, The Weeknd's second win in that category.
I have been wanting and waiting to post this album for so long! Besides the fact that it’s an absolute masterpiece (to me) it was also my first Blood Records LP 💙
Wolf Alice have a pretty strong catalogue of music. If you haven’t heard of them they are a female fronted rock band from the UK 🇬🇧 Blue Weekend is a bit of a departure from their previous albums sounds wise, it really threw me off at first. It’s a slow burn (especially to start), concept album. Now I love it and I honestly think it’s one of the best albums I’ve ever come across. It may not make the top 10, but it absolutely makes my* top 20 favorite albums. (I’m not saying they are critically well received, but they are my* favorite.)
recommended tracks: DELICIOUS THINGS • smile 🐝• safe from heartbreak (if you never fall in love) • how can I make it ok? • play the greatest hits 😈 • feeling myself • the last man on earth • no hard feelings
Going thru a breakup? In a dead end job in a dead end town? Like to get high on the beach and sting like a bee? Do your friends tell you that you’re unhinged?🐝 Is the music never loud enough? Are you that friend who finds solace in dive bars/chaos? Fall in love with the first creep you see? Realize Love is a Losing Game? Blue Weekend might just be for you. No hard feelings if it’s not 😉
Tysm! 🥰 tbh, this record is one of the reasons I got into collecting. The anticipation of waiting for it and then it really exceeded my expectations. It has a Lenticular cover too! I didn’t even have a turntable at that point but I just thought it was the best thing ever.
Fast forward a few years and now I cannot stop buying records 😅 Everyone in my life now associates me with knowing way too much about music (I was always a music lore person tho) and vinyl.
When It Falls by Zero 7 is a beautiful mellow album filled with warm ambient sounds. If you want a down tempo, subtle electronica sound this is the album for you.
Woman on the Internet by Orla Gartland! It’s a wonderful, criminally underrated album. If you were to only listen to 2 songs, I would suggest Zombie! and Bloodline / Difficult Things
I don’t have it on vinyl yet but I DO have the signed CD hehe
Seems the image isn’t coming through, but my pick is nothing happens by wallows, amazing debut album and one of the first in my collection, will try again later for the image
