Monstercat song review: 16-20 Oct, 2023
Monday
Thirst and Chyl - Drifter
The transition at 1:19 had me thinking that this could actually be decent, but then the song was over pretty much straight afterwards… yyyeah, this feels like a song that should’ve been given a bit more time before being released so they could actually finish it. 2/5
Tuesday
Tomb - Equinox
Beep beep boop boop… This feels like it could have been a nice little summer song if it had been released earlier in the year. I especially liked the beat that came in at 2:12. 4/5
Wednesday
Teddy Killerz - Fight Me
A decent enough DnB track. Don’t really have much to say apart from that. 3/5
Thursday
Britt Lari - All About You
Unremarkable song imo. The ending sounds unfinished. 2/5
Friday
GG Magree and Level Up - Ruin U
A real dirge, and I don’t mean that in a good way. 2/5
Throwback Picks of the Week
Twin Atlantic - Heart And Soul
The chorus of this song is just so euphoric imo. I thought it would be an ideal song to kick off this section of the blog.
Genre: Alternative Rock
Year: 2014
The B-52's - Deadbeat Club
I mean, it’s literally a song about reminiscing - what’s not to like? In fact, I could have put here any one of the songs from the Cosmic Thing album - they’re all just so great.
Genre: New Wave
Year: 1989
Joy & Joyce - Babe Babe
Originally I was going to put “Baby Baby” by Corona as my dance song throwback for this week, until I found that it was actually a cover of… this song. It’s always a nice feeling whenever I discover an older version of a song I thought I was already familiar with!
Genre: House
Year: 1991
