some album reccs: Michigan - Sufjan Stevens Hyperview - Title Fight Animals - This Town Needs Guns Wlfgrl - Machine Girl Below The House - Planning For Burial
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MY GUY a few recommendations: Ghosts of the Great Highway - Sun Kil Moon SMILE :D - Porter Robinson (pop-punk, pop, electronic) Process - Sampha (experimental r&b, great production) Koi No Yokan - Deftones (very heavy, sexier and heavier radiohead imo) Hypochondriac - Brakence (very experimental emo rap, glitch pop) Reading Writing And Arithmetic - The Sundays (the smiths ish, with beautiful female vocals)
This album garnered Fiona a ton of 10 out of 10’s and the melon one a ton of hate from us Fiona fans for his very shady review of the album. Glad you enjoyed it, Smags. Again, giving another request for “Ray Of Light” by Madonna and “Little Earthquakes” by Tori Amos
here’s my list of recs based on albums you’ve said you liked: •abyss by pastel ghost - has a very similar vibe to crystal castles. a great dream wave album that just scratches my brain in the best ways •dead man’s party by oingo boingo- this one is hard to describe other tha saying that it’s some weird ass new wave, but like in the best way possible •hozier (self titled)- a beautiful combination of r&b, soul, and indie rock brought together by his amazing vocals •puberty 2 by mitski - not much to say about this one since you e already reacted to mitski before lol •tinderbox or juju by siouxie and the banshees. not much to say about this either except that it’s a fucking awesome new wave/gothic rock band with amazing music •prelude to extacy by the last dinner party - kinda different from your usual stuff but this album has been in my rotation recently! very unique sound and i can’t wait to watch them grow as a group as this is their first album. that’s all for now :)
Rec- Lp1 and mellissa (its spelled weirdly in her ep title) by fka twigs Also diamanda galas - you must be certain of the devil pretty accessible for her
This is still the best album of the 2020’s thus far. The whole album is about trying to come to terms with choas and traumas, and then trying to be free of them. It takes some of the jazz-pop of her previous albums and throws in a lot of blues and punk and even some folk. It really is its own thing and takes you aback on the first listen. It’s certainly not an “easy” album but imo is a masterpiece. The Idler Wheel is also a Fiona album worth checking out. It’s kinda like the more introverted and slightly easier to absorb cousin to this record. And it was one of the highlights of the early 2010s.
ayo smogs ima need that Sun Kil Moon - Ghosts of the Great Highway reaction on god (also love that You Forgot it in People was close gotta listen to that too fs)
I feel like what you should do when listening EPs is starting to consider listening to bonus tracks, it'll make the video longer and it's not hard to find the bonus tracks of any EP, next BoC EP I recommend is Trans Canada Highway
Reminded me of Regina Spektor's early stuff, maybe you should listen to her if you like Fiona ("Begin to hope" or "Soviet Kitsch" best albums for start)
It’s really not that similar to anything Regina has put out. She has always made very studio polished albums. And their songwriting is very different from each other. If you want him to react to Regina just say that 😂.
Been a fan since the very first, Tidal. But as much as i tried, i could not get into this one. I kept reading glowing reviews, went back to it, gave it a few more spins, but to me it sounds like a bunch of songs for a whacked out play that was never put together. Oh well, i can always listen to the rest of her amazing catalogue. (Extraordinary Machine, both versions, is my current favourite.)
Could you check out the great pretenders by mini mansions? Such an amazing hidden gem and it definitely influenced the Arctic monkeys with Alex even being on this record. Along with Brian Wilson from beach boys. This is a 10/10 for me and has been with me throughout my life
more album recs: stranger - yung lean idk if youve reacted to any kpop albums but perfect velvet - red velvet is rlly good care for me - saba (if you havent yet) escaper - sarah kinsley brown sugar - d’angelo if you havent
I’m not sure Fiona has taken much from PJ. PJ is a great artist. But them both making “angry” music doesn’t really make them comparable. I’d love some PJ reactions though.
An elementary teacher they both had got Fiona & Shameika together again after the release of the album. Shameika wrote a response song that Fiona sang on as a guest.
got another recommendation for you after last time i gave you the injury reserve album this one is from someone with only around 50 monthly listeners and its one of my favourite experimental / abstract hip hop albums with amazing production and vocals (although theyre a bit quiet) finally found by cheatcode :)
You just have to listen to Songs About Leaving- Carissa’s Wierd. I view it (alongside American Football LP1) as the perfect autumn/fall album, and is just full of absolutely gut-wrenching songs. You should definitely give it a listen.
you should do today i laid down by bl4ck m4rket c4rt one of the best shoegaze eps ever made by a 17 year old. he unfortunately committed suicide shortly after its release
cool album rec for you: man plays the horn - cities aviv working title for the album secret waters - cities aviv both incredible albums by him love your content and reactions too

NO FUCKING WAY I just watched your When the Pawn... Reaction
Been a fan since the very first, Tidal. But as much as i tried, i could not get into this one.

Awesome album! You should check out PJ Harvey's To Bring You My Love, Fiona certainly took some inspiration from her.
Rid of me would be a better reaction
I’m not sure Fiona has taken much from PJ. PJ is a great artist. But them both making “angry” music doesn’t really make them comparable. I’d love some PJ reactions though.
He should do Is This Desire? Or Stories from the City first
Rawest album of the 20s and it's not getting topped.
Actually gasped when I saw this, so excited to watch! FTBC is my favorite album ever, Fiona Apple is the GOAT!
You gotta do another MGMT album, either Loss of Life or Congratulations. Both so well produced and make me feel such a specific set of emotions
One of my favourites
Some other recs
Sigur Rós - Takk..
Sun Kil Moon - Benji
Jon Hopkins - Singularity
