Time for the monthly music post. On Friday 2nd of this month, there was the Bandcamp Friday, so there’s a bit more recommendations today.

I usually wait for the Bandcamp Friday to do big sweeps of buying music as 100% goes to the artist during that time.

In any case, here are the recommendations:

  • Full discography of Cerealbowlsystem: Someone I know from the Resonite community, cool bean, good music, can recommend checking it out.
  • Port Rhombus by Squarepusher: last month had a lot of Squarepusher, this one as well. This album was recommended by a friend and plays nicely into the jazzy style I like in Squarepusher’s music, especially when it comes to the second track.
  • Graveyard Orbit by BUNKR: this one has been sitting in my wishlist for a while. As you might expect from the title, the style of music reminds me of a spatial action game. This album is a breeze to listen to and I can recommend if you like chill space-y stuff.
  • あじたま見聞録② and Dream Chasers by ああああ(AAAA), 翡乃イスカ(Hino Isuka) and 梅干茶漬け(Umeboshi Chazuke): I’m grouping those two albums together because they contain music from rhythm games I used to play years ago. Overall great music albums, perfect if you’re a fan of rhythm games as well (you might have even heard those before).
  • Gear 4 by ANORAK: this one caught my attention on the discovery page. Not sure how to describe why I like it, but I do, and recommend it. This album is also very recent, being released on May 1st of this year!
  • LEVEL SELECT by Pizza Hotline: one of my favourite discoveries of this batch. I almost ordered the PAL PS1 disc version, but decided not to given all the import and transport fees making it super expensive. In any case, excellent music.
  • Horizon by Resavoir & Matt Gold: this one is a pre-order, something I usually don’t do. I was looking for more jazzy tracks and Bandcamp delivered in this album from which the two preview songs being currently available felt like audio candy. I can’t wait to discover what the rest of the album holds.
  • Full discography of SQUIDGY: this one was a last-minute addition to my collection. Right before heading to bed, a friend sent a link to the “POKEDEX VOL 1.” album which was an instant match for me. So far, my favourite song in the lot is “✧⊹ARCEUS⊹✧”.

And remember, don’t forget to support the artists you like. There’s a good website to know when is the next Bandcamp Friday, aptly named “Is it Bandcamp Friday?”. Next one will be in August of this year.
