Adeline Hotel - Hot Fruit Review
Tumblr media
Establishing a real understanding of world-oriented music and the acoustic vibrations of folk music...
Clocking in barely under 30 minutes, this small yet beautiful release of new material from Adeline Hotel succeeds, thanks to the woodwind instruments at the forefront, creating a serene environment. Pure, authentic, masterful instrumentation at its finest.
Now accompanied by New York-based guitarist Ryan E., Adeline Hotel's Dan K. & Co. keep turning out lovely and beautiful material. This time around, with additional arrangements of violins, clarinets, flutes, harps, and pedal steel. Knishkowy replaces vocals with a warm ensemble led by therapeutic flutes."

Slowdive - Everything Is Alive REVIEW
Tumblr media
In the early 1990s, I smelled like teen spirit despite being a baby walking in diapers, and by the end of the decade, I felt like a freak on a leash deep into my adolescence, so shoegaze as a highly regarded sub-genre was not on my radar.
The English five-piece has a well-documented history of critical acclaim and importance in the shoegaze genre and cult following that is admittedly foreign to me.
So after weeks of absorbing the crystallized wall of guitar tones and amplified angelic vocals of Rachel Goswell and Neil Halstead, as an uneducated freshman in the genre, the appeal is noticeable.
The record starts strong with the intro "Shanty", featuring looming filtered synths and crispy upbeat drums that are followed by the track "Alife" as well as the album's single "Kisses," a calm wave of distorted delays even with adding more indie rock characteristics embedded in the band's signature wall of sound two of which showcase as solid standouts that continue the atmospheric momentum, adding more indie rock characteristics embedded in the band's signature wall of sound. Having the benefit of not overstaying its welcome, With only eight tracks clocking in at a little over 40 minutes, the Berkshire legends' fifth studio album is sheen, warm, and cinematically moving.
