+## Ulcerate - Cutting the Throat of God
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a0552505092_16.jpg)
+
+  AOTY so far.
+
+  Release date: 2024-06-14
+
+  [9.3/10]
+
+## Angel R - Selkie Reflections
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3802053527_16.jpg)
+
+  Dreamy modern classical vocal music. It's like you're in a cave and a spirit is singing to you and you're not scared and they're really, really good at it.
+
+  Release date: 2024-08-09
+
+  [8.6/10]
+
+## JPEGMAFIA - I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a4051869210_16.jpg)
+
+  This one is really good, like it stands out even in a discography stacked with hard hitters. The bars are filthy and I feel like he put a lot of effort into making the beats as wicked as possible. Sick.
+
+  Release date: 2024-08-01
+
+  [8.5/10]
+
+## Hakushi Hasegawa - Mahōgakkō
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a0529968126_16.jpg)
+
+  At first I thought it’s too chaotic and all over the place, but as I listened to it multiple times it turns out it’s just a really good hyper pop album. Wonky and a lot of fun to listen to.
+
+  Release date: 2024-07-24
+
+  [8.4/10]
+
+## 7038634357 - Neo Seven
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a1641023596_16.jpg)
+
+  Warm synth drone / noise. These pulsating notes are so delicate. FFO DJ Lostboi.
+
+  Release date: 2024-04-16
+
+  [8.3/10]
+
+## baby\_\_\_asl - Snakeskin
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3246141178_10.jpg)
+
+  FFO Bianca Scout. Bedroom avant-pop.
+
+  Release date: 2020-05-08
+
+  [8.2/10]
+
+## Blind Girls - An Exit Exists
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a1763666334_16.jpg)
+
+  Chaotic screamo with lots of dissonance. Pretty sick stuff, just like the last album.
+
+  Release date: 2024-07-05
+
+  [8.1/10]
+
+## H TO O - Cycle
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a1283938153_16.jpg)
+
+  Japanese new age ambient in 2024, still so good. Bubbly sounds. Always been a fan of H. Takahashi.
+
+  Release date: 1997-07-22
+
+  [8.1/10]
+
+## Fontaines D.C. - Romance
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a1885243503_16.jpg)
+
+  I was really into Pile, and then I wasn't and I was thinking maybe I just don't like indie rock as much as I did before? And then I heard this and it's so good.
+
+  Release date: 2024-07-12
+
+  [8.1/10]
+
+## Clothing - From Memory
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3310068567_16.jpg)
+
+  Glitchy pop. The songs are very well written, sounds super huge, and L'Rain is a great singer. The tracks featuring Amber Coffman from Dirty Projector really make me think it'd sound much more enticing if they were sung by L'Rain.
+
+  Release date: 2024-07-26
+
+  [7.9/10]
+
+## Denzel Curry - King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a1590309662_16.jpg)
+
+  I thought he's gonna continue down the `Melt My Eyez See Your Future`, more modern sounding path, but here he is doing old school southern rap.
+
+  Release date: 2024-07-19
+
+  [7.6/10]
+
+## lang - There is no reply, but sweet wind blew
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a1724397817_16.jpg)
+
+  Melodic emotive hardcore from Japan. I think their live show should be really really awesome.
+
+  Release date: 2018-08-27
+
+  [7.6/10]
+
+## Holy Tongue, Shackleton - The Tumbling Psychic Joy of Now
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3035052640_16.jpg)
+
+  Tribal dub. I think their own projects are better than this collaboration.
+
+  Release date: 2024-08-23
+
+  [7.6/10]
+
+## Zeta Io, Ingenue - Zetapop
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a1992463347_16.jpg)
+
+  Techno-pop. I like the more abstract tracks more than the Balaeric beat ones, but this is still an interesting project to check out.
+
+  Release date: 2024-08-07
+
+  [7.6/10]
+
+## 渡邊琢磨 - RoOT Original Soundtrack
+
+  ![](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67616d00001e022aecdb113803fd71f3a6e01c)
+
+  Pantha du Prince-esque electronic music and Eiko Ishibashi style modern classical. This sounds quite pleasant, the drama itself kinda sucks.
+
+  Release date: 2023-07-20
+
+  [7.5/10]
+
+## Terry Green - Provisional Living
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a2015584547_16.jpg)
+
+  Screamo with a lot of indie rock influence. Pretty raw.
+
+  Release date: 2024-06-03
+
+  [7.4/10]
+
+## FUJI||||||||||TA - MMM
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a1714140379_16.jpg)
+
+  Unsettling ambient / drone / experimental music. TBH I enjoy `iki` much more than this one.
+
+  Release date: 2004-11-16
+
+  [7.0/10]
+
+## Wisp - Pandora
+
+  ![](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67616d0000b27393b67dcb944df8174fd8356a)
+
+  Shoegaze. Don't really get the hype.
+
+  Release date: 2024-04-05
+
+  [6.5/10]
+
+## toe - Now I See the Light
+
+  ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3658750944_10.jpg)
+
+  Better than Hear You but still not nearly as good as `For Long Tomorrow` or their first album.
+
+  Release date: 2024-07-10
+
+  [6.0/10]
+
+## Houston We Have a Problem - The Sky Did Not Crack and the Stars Did Not Fall
+
+  ![](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67616d0000b273c3d692d5d87bc672915a8a0d)
+
+  Raw, emotional post-rock-ish screamo. Stumbled upon them when trying to find reference for a new band I want to do, this probably isn’t it.
+
+  Release date: 2014
+
+  [5.5/10]
