*Geordie Greep - The new sound*

 The debut album by Black Midi's frontman Geordie Greep is as ambitious as it is engaging and very adventurous in its approach to blend genres and disrupt conventions. 

Much of this album was recorded in Brazil while Greep was on tour and the spontaneity is present as well as some tropicalia elements. The lyrics do contain some crude humor at times but reflect the loneliness of the characters and narrators of each song. According to Geordie Greep himself: “I wanted to make as many bizarre, grotesque love songs as possible,” and it is a very affirmative work in the dealings of passion and how it can be corny and charming at the same time. 

A grandiose album in its mix of influences and genres that do not sound pretentious or boring and indeed create beautiful musical vignettes with stories that are both deep and funny.

*Tiago Guillul - V*

  Indie pop by Tiago Guillul. Recorded in a studio and with guests like Rui Reininho, Tiago Guillul moves from his lo-fi days to a well produced and clean cut album. "A Febre em 1993" is a really adorable and catchy song that is one of the highlights of this album, using dancing and funky samples with some playful arrangements. "Nabucodonosor" named after one of the kings in the bible, is a really jangley song with collaborations from Rui Reininho in the vocals. Released by Florcaveira, this album has some religious inspired lyrics and most songs were built upon evangelical songs from all over the world, but that isn't exactly a surprise since it's Tiago Guillul. Overall, a candy bomb of an album of enjoyable and clever indie pop.

*Aesop Rock - Labor days*

  Beautiful and abstract poetry from MC Aesop Rock in an assorted collection of complex and melodic beats. Stories are told and magnified by the spotless MC'S style of delivery, especially in themes like "No Regrets", a story about Lucy, an artist that embodies the spirit of individuality of doing what you really want and love and the anthem 9-5 er's about work and aspirations. It shapes and expands the border of hip-hop, an essential work of astract and conscious hip-hop.
