"I was nine when I left my body... no regrets, just things that will haunt me."
No one's like Aldous - a true original.
Favorite track: Coats.

she's blue for an amazing reason
Favorite track: One Stop.
leshy
Neither completely dissociated nor aching with emotion but some forbidden third thing beyond and within both. Makes my soul crumble into television static.
Favorite track: Waiting Room.

A difficult but ultimately rewarding record. It seeps into your mind slowly. I find myself coming back to it cyclically and hear something new upon each relistening. Hope the artist is in a better place now.
Favorite track: Take It.
Banned From Camp

Rest in Peace, Nell. We lost you far too young.

Favorite track: Weeping.
Les_Insufferables
I literally wept at the beauty of this album the first time I listened to it. Nell's voice with the Flaming Lips behind her is an absolutely exquisite match. When I heard she passed away I wept again.
Favorite track: Girl In Amber.

Big Nick Cave fan, think this is a really interesting interpretation of his work. Highlight for me was The Kindness of Strangers but loved every second of the album.
Favorite track: The Kindness Of Strangers.

Top class screams for lifting heavy ass weights.
Has its more serene tracks that serves to break up the heavier parts of the album.
Track clarity is excellent because of the recording, mixing and mastering.
Favorite track: Wants I Need (ft. Craig Owens).
OtterPods
beautifully raw. absolutely slamming
Favorite track: Better Written Villian.
Kxihvx
Something raw and sinister about the lyricism and tone of 156, absolutely love the bite.
Favorite track: Product Placement.

I love that the vocals on this record are treated with as much thought and respect as the instrumentals. Ohmme ROCKS!
Favorite track: The Limit.
New Music Jason
I’m so happy to have discovered this band this year. I’m such a sucker for interesting harmonies and funky time signatures.
What makes this album special for me are the intelligent and interesting lyrics. At times thoughtful, other times humorous, but really unlike any I’ve heard before. AOTY!
Favorite track: After All.
Ben Collins
worth the hype such a great album
Favorite track: bloodstream.

As a spiritual Soccer Mom, this is a must
Favorite track: royal screw up.
harrug
A great stab at taking sounds of past alternative music (primarily from the 90s) and giving it a more updated sheen. Love it.
Favorite track: yellow is the color of her eyes.
sinceforever
Already one of the best albums of 2026. Evil SCOUT. Midwife's Wario. There's a lot of music which beautifully describes pain and loss, but Carve articulates something dense and difficult about what comes after either.
Favorite track: Angle of Repose.
cheryl
Hones in on her songwriting and guitar melodies, bringing in even more distortion and psychic ruin, while also moving her ambient songs in a new direction.
Favorite track: Cells.

Seeking tranquility amidst the maelstrom? Then this the place to rest and find it.
Dainon Moody
are demos and "lost songs" ever supposed to sound this incredible? hardly seems fair in some worlds. these tunes are hardly the leftover scraps; this is a welcomed feast.
Favorite track: Peace In The Valley.
subshere
beautifully brutal, sounds like being murdered. I think it's the greatest piece of music I've ever heard
Favorite track: the whole thing
bie
the best song i've ever heard. jaw-dropping, room-shaking catharsis. this is what power feels like
Mr.Paul
This, Akuma No Uta and the Soundtrack To Akuma No Ura were my intro to Boris decades ago. STILL listening to this album and finding new ground. Arigato gozaimasu!
Favorite track: feedbacker, pt. 4.
