+## Still House Plants - If I Don't Make It, I Love U
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3585616563_16.jpg)
+
+  Warbly jazzy post-rock with R&B vocals. Sick album. Every track is worth recommending.
+
+  Release date: 2024-04-12
+
+  [8.9/10]
+
+## Dip Friso - Dip Friso
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3546631443_16.jpg)
+
+  Drunk bedroom indietronica. Hazy lo-fi music, I like this a lot.
+
+  Release date: 2024-03-01
+
+  [8.4/10]
+
+## samlrc - A Lonely Sinner
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a2267912061_16.jpg)
+
+  Lo-fi post-rock / shoegaze. FFO Weatherday. One dude on RYM said it's deathconsciousness for furries and I kinda agree.
+
+  Release date: 2024-03-08
+
+  [8.4/10]
+
+## Lanark Artefax - Metallur
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a0269015519_16.jpg)
+
+  Hits just as hard as the last one.
+
+  Release date: 2024-03-20
+
+  [8.4/10]
+
+## Not Waving, Romance - Infinite Light
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a1593245468_16.jpg)
+
+  This is just as good as the last one. Ambient bliss.
+
+  Release date: 2024-05-03
+
+  [8.4/10]
+
+## claire rousay - sentiment
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3462825685_16.jpg)
+
+  Low + Organ Tapes. I love her earlier, much more experimental work, but I also love emo and slowcore.
+
+  Release date: 2024-04-19
+
+  [8.3/10]
+
+## Ulla, Ultrafrog - It Means A Lot
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3706881805_16.jpg)
+
+  Abstract shoegazy ambient.
+
+  Release date: 2024-04-12
+
+  [8.2/10]
+
+## Adrianne Lenker - Bright Future
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a2431419636_16.jpg)
+
+  Indie folk. Normally I'm not too excited about this kind of music but this is pretty awesome.
+
+  Release date: 2024-03-22
+
+  [8.2/10]
+
+## Serengeti - KDIV
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a1855983942_16.jpg)
+
+  Jazz-hop. Gotta follow the Kenny Dennis story arc... Also sick beats by Kenny Segal. Sulfjan Stevens is on this one as well?
+
+  Release date: 2024-04-05
+
+  [8.2/10]
+
+## Sega Bodega - Dennis
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a4199457831_16.jpg)
+
+  Intimate, dark-club-friendly electro-pop. I really like the lead singles `Deer Teeth` and `Kepko`, in fact I think these two are the tracks that really stand out in the end - the other tracks are also pretty good but I don't think they're as thoroughly developed as the two lead singles.
+
+  Release date: 2017-06-16
+
+  [8.0/10]
+
+## Bongripper - Empty
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3684188477_16.jpg)
+
+  The heaviest band on earth is back.
+
+  Release date: 1969-06-06
+
+  [7.8/10]
+
+## Leon Vynehall - Music for the Uninvited
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a1315260092_16.jpg)
+
+  Deep house. I like his stuff on DJ Kicks. I think people who like St Germain's `Tourist` would dig this.
+
+  Release date: 2014-03-24
+
+  [7.9/10]
+
+# R.J.F.- Strange Going
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a0681827151_16.jpg)
+
+  Dark minimalist indie pop. Album cover looks like dude having time of his life but songs are gothic and dark AF.
+
+  [7.7/10]
+
+## Andrew Pekler, SG - Rain Revisited
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3276674456_16.jpg)
+
+  Ambient / modern classical. Quite lovely.
+
+  Release date: 2024-04-12
+
+  [7.6/10]
+
+## Oldboy, Sekwence - Good Guys Don't Wear White
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a0540330936_16.jpg)
+
+  I like the beats but Sekwence's raspy voice doesn't really do it for me.
+
+  Release date: 1966-01-01
+
+  [7.3/10]
+
+## Ὁπλίτης - Παραμαινομένη
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a2797313678_10.jpg)
+
+  Prog black metal. This one feels more forced than their previous albums. It features a lot more sax, folk guitars and even a little bit of Dream Theater-ish synth solos but they all sound kind of out of place.
+
+  Release date: 2024-01-12
+
+  [6.3/10]
+
+## Knocked Loose - You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3381223303_16.jpg)
+
+  I don't get the hype around this album. To me it's very annoying to listen to, those downtuned guitars and open chords and breakdowns just are no longer my thing.
+
+  Release date: 2024-05-10
+
+  [5.5/10]
