I'm so incredibly grateful to have had the chance to follow this interview series with A Place to Bury Strangers, whose deeply embedded curiosity as a band is very inspirational to me.

Thank you Sandra, John, and Oliver for being beyond open to this! 🫂

"Yeah, I've been lucky, and I've been unlucky. it's both." I couldn't think of a better quote than this one from Arca to come back with the interview series after eight months since the last one.

Needless to say, I'm thankful for High School Track Meet to be on board with this.

Nobody asked, but I've decided to start posting brief reviews of four album recommendations every month. I just realised that only doing year-end lists forces me to always talk about the new stuff. So this is just an excuse to share part of my library without much constraints.

A lot of my favorites will show up over time, some may not be my all-time favorites, but they're certainly nearly flawless albums that I wholeheartedly recommend.
