The fourth track on the album, Swallowed Alive follows an impressive starting three of the tracks \u201cNight Palace,\u201d \u201cHuge Fire,\u201d and \u201cBreaths,\u201d each of which are simultaneously subtle and sweltering, drenched in delicate ambience and atmosphere, atmosphere which is brought to a hard stop with the wrench \u201cSwallowed Alive\u201d chucks into the album. Cymbals crash introing rampant noise and distorted screaming, spanning the whole of the track, only dipping to allow three spoken lines to bleed through at the end, \u201cYou get swallowed by the lion, you get swallowed alive, and you live to tell the tale.\u201d His daughter\u2019s voice! An outro which simultaneously recontextualizes and contrasts the body of the track as well transitions perfectly into the following \u201cMy Canopy,\u201d a more tender number dedicated to Elverum\u2019s daughter, featuring only softened drums and acoustic guitar. The whole sequence shocks but is still entirely typical of Phil Elverum\/The Microphones\/Mount Eerie, who has always stood for unrelenting experimental creativity, going all the way back to their first release, <em>Tests, <\/em>in 1998, an album which for the majority of its runtime lacks any traditional conception of what would be considered \u201cmusic\u201d whatsoever. \u201cSwallowed Alive\u201d then serving not so much as a shock rather than a continuation of the very form which has made Phil Elverum so exceptional across all his many styles and pseudonyms. <strong>&#8212; Declan Ireland<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Swallowed Alive\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/5ToXfb55jRpWWqmulAnUj2?si=86926d3cae1e4a6b&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&#8220;bloweyelashwish&#8221; by loveliescrushing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0In the midst of winter, that stultifying sheet of never-ending stratus, a clear sunset feels nearly technicolor. Its colors seem enhanced by the cold, a hearth that startles your longings out of their numb hibernation\u2014not at all like the haze of summer, when the sky seems to suffuse the very air like a heady perfume. The ephemerality of these wintry sunsets, only 30 minutes once or twice a week, makes them all the more potent; they are invitations to slow down and project your feelings onto the plumes of smoke fading away into carnelian and fuchsia skies. It just so happens that \u201cbloweyelashwish\u201d by Loveliescrushing is the titular track of my favorite album for just such occasions. An entire stratosphere of ambient shoegaze sound\u2014unintelligible murmurs and shimmering drone\u2014swells across the short track. It sounds like the sky speaking back. <strong>&#8212; Christian Jones<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: bloweyelashwish\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/1jw2nO9dOUWdhP4kInVIZm?si=5d096ebc66554cd0&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&#8220;Summit Song&#8221; by Nicole Dollanganger<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On January 6th, 2023 Nicole Dollanganger released her fifth and most recent album, Married In Mount Airy. As a whole, the genre of this body of work is difficult to pin down; it can be described as art pop, dream pop, slowcore, gothic folk, singer-songwriter, or a blend of all five. Like the rest of Dollanganger\u2019s discography, Married In Mount Airy is characterized by its macabre lyrics and melancholy sonic atmosphere. The juxtaposition of the artist\u2019s high-pitched, child-like vocals with the grim lyrical themes of her music makes for a deeply haunting listening experience. \u201cSummit Song\u201d in particular is track ten of the twelve on this album, and it deviates slightly from the artist\u2019s usual style because it&#8217;s an instrumental. The song opens with a quiet melody played on a synthesizer that gradually builds up to a sweeping, almost cinematic score over the course of its one minute and 55 second runtime. Dollanganger\u2019s vocals can be heard about a minute into the song, but her typical dark lyrics are replaced by a gentle, rhythmic humming, which leaves the song feeling somber and reflective. Overall, \u201cSummit Song\u201d is a beautiful lo-fi ambient piece, and definitely worth listening to if you like your songs \u201cshort-n-sweet.\u201d <strong>&#8212; Emeline Chopin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Summit Song\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/2qLfPYbD2zQ7LAqOkrcbu2?si=9f48f96cf55e427e&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&#8220;All I Wanna Do&#8221; by The Beach Boys<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although \u201cGlass in the Park\u201d\u00a0 by Alex Turner was a close pick, there is no voice that can match Brian Wilson\u2019s honesty. It&#8217;s hard to listen to the 2:34 without feeling a twinge of longing for someone who <em>could<\/em> be close (or already is). Written for their 1970 album<em> Sunflower <\/em>it is important to notice the reverb and layering of vocals used over the track. Being such an early point of release for these tools, its foundation in the dream-pop genre is solidified.\u00a0&#8220;All I Wanna Do\u201d is a pledge of loyalty. I can be a clich\u00e9 most of the time. But I can&#8217;t help it! There is no better feeling of solidarity in another. That unspoken feeling of connection. Call me vulnerable, but what is the point of a love song if not literal? I believe attraction can be solved in less than 42 hours if one half of the party is ballsy enough, so why teeter on confirmation?\u00a0<strong>&#8212; Salem Ross<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: All I Wanna Do - Remastered 2009\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/7y9O8sJmuX7DvmyrR7h3PY?si=f68a5ffbd7854dfd&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&#8220;Some Strange Angel&#8221; by Car Seat Headrest<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Forget acute desperation. Forget self deprecating pleas of forgiveness. Forget the death of dreams and the inability to remain in a moment full of tumultuous hesitation. On \u201cSome Strange Angel\u201d Will Toledo breaks from reality, entertaining a surprisingly optimistic vision of what it might be like to embrace domesticity. \u201cI don\u2019t feel the fear anymore \/ Carry me through your door \/ When it\u2019s too late to go home \/ We won\u2019t have to be alone \/\/ We\u2019ll keep the world on repeat.\u201d Toledo croons so delicately his voice almost quivers, balancing between the reverberations of a singular backing bass guitar. The fighting, between both himself and the subject of this song, has reached a point of exhaustion leading Toledo to reject his fatalistic tendencies. There\u2019s an initial fragility to the instrumentals which eventually transforms into a wall of distortion, mirroring his hopes for an internal change moving forward. The final lines of the song are cried out with a mixture of apologetic collapse and pure desire: \u201cWhen it\u2019s all gone, I love you \/ When I\u2019m done, I love you.\u201d It\u2019s a hopeful close to the song that declares this to be an everlasting love. This love is invaluable, untouched by both Toledo\u2019s and the subject\u2019s past, it will outlast external pressures and be sustained by a newfound sense of devotion, one separated from self-serving cycles of desperation.\u00a0<strong>&#8212; Sophie Parrish<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Some Strange Angel\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/2Q1WG7qa8CEpfKJmxVRTer?si=346f103a66c9470d&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&#8220;Skips A Beat (Over You)&#8221; by The Promise Ring\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Often overlooked lyrical genius comes from whiny, emo bands. They\u2019re usually abstract and very much rely on the sense of touch. They can be optimistic or nihilistic, and if written abstractly enough; both. The Promise Ring is no exception. On 1999\u2019s \u2018Skips a Beat (Over You),\u2019 Davey von Bohlen proves himself to fit this \u2018emo lyrical genius\u2019 niche by singing \u201cSo wouldn&#8217;t it be nice \/ If we could live twice in just one life? \/ Then we&#8217;d know what to do when I&#8217;m shaking in my shoes \/ And my heart skips a beat over you.\u201d With the song barely over two minutes, The Promise Ring exudes \u2018cheap, thoughtful, handmade valentines day gift.\u2019 It\u2019s straight ear candy! It doesn\u2019t matter that van Bohlen can\u2019t sing, his geeky charm and romcom-esque lyricism mixed with the jaggedy guitars and hooky synth is what makes the song catchy and without it, it would just be another whiny, emo song. <strong>&#8212; Mario Sierra<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Skips A Beat (Over You)\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/7JobD6f1CDsyUsioHhNc8F?si=0d6e9bd2541c476c&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&#8220;Carnival&#8221; by The Cardigans<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My dentist told me if I wanted to avoid cavities then to stop listening to this song. With a confectionary mouth and sugar swelling teeth I simply cannot stop singing, \u201cCarnival,\u201d by The Cardigans. It&#8217;s catchy. It&#8217;s vibrant. It swells your tongue with that pop-rocky yearning burst that just fizzles with a lingering excitement. I cannot think of a song that encompasses that swirly, butterflies in your stomach sensation that this song pulls out of you. The main, repetitive lyric (Come on and love me now \/), grows and swells with the thrill that you only encounter when someone catches your eye for the first time, or when you\u2019re itching to see if those lingering stares and easy grins are reciprocated. As the song progresses, the love depicted could be interpreted as requited, and maybe it is. But that rush, that \u2018carnival\u2019 -esque spin layered and layered upon and underbelly of desire, leaves you with a giddy, lovesick swell regardless. Not only that, but the instrumentals within the chorus spin you off your feet in a dizzying, enchanting beat, that you can\u2019t help but dance, sing along, and relish in that naive yet universal feeling to ask to be loved.\u00a0<strong>&#8212; Gabrielle Finucan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Carnival\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/5TbDM1PBTyODDCTGEoDCxL?si=2d4633f0a1e14131&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&#8220;I&#8217;m Gonna Love You Too&#8221; by Blondie<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally recorded by Buddy Holly in 1958, Blondie\u2019s cover of \u201cI\u2019m Gonna Love You Too\u201d on <em>Parallel Lines <\/em>(1978) is nothing short of a flirt-turned-confidence-boost.

Like many of Ray\u2019s tracks, \u201cBye\u201d is syrupy sweet with a lingering sense of utter adolescent sadness, with lyrics that sound like they were ripped from a teenage diary; \u201cWhen I don\u2019t have you, I\u2019m losing my mind \/ I wish I was with you all of the time.\u201d Ray\u2019s shaky soft vocals combined with buzzing acoustic guitar and distorted keyboard make the song sound like a short, somber lullaby with all the bittersweet charm of a first love. <strong>&#8212; Julia Schramm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Bye\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/2oQMEZeZdEXRzh4LUQTyc6?si=8297d81181464b0e&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&#8220;Washington, D.C.&#8221; by The Magnetic Fields<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just what I need! The 37th of The Magnetic Field\u2019s iconic \u201c69 Love Songs\u201d is a love letter to the shortest major U.S. city, Washington, D.C.! Home to eighth grade field trips, motorcades, monuments, and a whole lot of security details, the city can feel a bit uncanny.
