2/
Genre-wise, it moves through alternative hip-hop, Southern rap, experimental pop, spoken energy. Beats snap and slither, voices shape-shift, moods turn on a dime. The production sounds alert, hyper-aware, like survival turned into rhythm.

"An alt-pop–driven indie album blending experimental electronic textures, folk songwriting, hip-hop/R&B crossover, and occasional heavy left-field turns."

By Storm is an experimental hip hop trio made in the wake of the death of one of the members of the hip hop band Injury Reserve. They're pretty indie but beloved in music circles

By The Time I Get To Phoenix is a masterpiece in loss and grief. It'll go down as a classic in my eyes. My album Pequod is partly inspired by what they did on that record. So seeing Parker and Ritchie back together again making experimental hip hop is like seeing Ray Allen next to Paul Pierce again.

#MWE 2026 - Day 1
Clipping - Dead Channel Sky (2025)
Billed as “Experimental Hip Hop” this leans on 90s UK Drum & Bass with lots of found sounds thrown in and ultra rapid rapping which is both impressive and tiresome. So much perfect enunciation, so little point to it all.

15. january album wrap-up
i listen to too much music to list it all individually so i'm instead doing monthly posts like this

overall favorite album: live in chicago - ween
overall favorite track: crystal thunder in the wonder safari - crane
MONTHLY ALBUM WRAP-UP - JANUARY 2026 Beach House - Once Twice Melody Beach House's most recent album is their most ambitious and their sound is just as great as its always been. This is one of their bests. 9.5/10 Favorite Track: New Romance Crimson - Edge of Sanity - This album is actually a single 40 minute death metal song, and it's probably the best death metal I've ever heard. Incredible melodies and technical skill here. 9.5/10 Favorite Track: Crimson Panopticon - ISIS - Where Crimson succeeded in intensity, this sludge metal album succeeds in atmosphere. It's somehow brutal as it is beautiful and was a very enjoyable listen the whole way through. 9/10 Favorite Track: Backlit Pig Destroyer - Terrifyer - The short song length and one-note style leaves a bit to be desired, but I respect the ferocity of these guys. I don't think I'm a grind guy. 6.5/10 Favorite Track: Gravedancer “Weird Al” Yankovic - Running With Scissors Pretty good offering from Al, but it's honestly carried by Your Horoscope for Today and Albuquerque being some of his best originals. 6.5/10 Favorite Track: Albuquerque The Notorious B.I.G. - Ready to Die A genre-defining all-timer album that I should've gotten to way sooner. 9/10 Favorite Track: Big Poppa The Velvet Underground - S/T Not as good as their experimental venture with Nico, but still a nice and soothing album led by an amazing songwriter. 7/10 Favorite Track: Pale Blue Eyes System of a Down - Mezmerize A different sound than what I was expecting, and I think I prefer Serj’s vocals mostly standing on their own like on Toxicity, but it’s still a SOAD album which means it’s amazing. 9/10 Favorite Track: Question! System of a Down - Hypnotize Like Mezmerize but with funny terracotta pie. The eccentricness of this half of the two-part album makes me like it slightly more. 9.5/10 Favorite Track: Soldier Side Citrus - Pits Are the Pits (25 Gold = Rare = Debris 1992-2000) A super euphoric 90’s Japanese indie pop compilation that I could not recommend enough. This specific niche of music is one of my all-time favorites and this compilation’s highlights can instantly bring up my mood. 9.5/10 Favorite Track: Crystal Thunder in the Wonder Safari Lil Ugly Mane - VOLCANIC ENEMY BIRD AND THE VOICED CONCERN Didn’t click with me in the first half, REEEALLY clicked with me in the second. His shift from hip hop to psychedelia was masterfully done. 8.5/10 Favorite Track: vpn Dr. Pepper - Sounds of Succulence An ambient EP from my GOAT Dr. Pepper. Yes, the actual drink. Surprisingly competent project and I appreciate such an odd thing existing. 6.5/10 Favorite Track: Suspended in Sweetness Beck - Odelay Fun trippy alt rock album, I liked its slacker vibe and use of sampling. 7/10 Favorite Track: High 5 (Rock the Catskills) Ween - Live in Chicago Ween are the best band objectively. 10/10 Favorite Track: Buckingham Green (Live) By Storm - My Ghosts Go Ghost Absolutely stunning. You won’t find another album that sounds like this. 9.5/10 Favorite Track: And I Dance Pavement - Wowee Zowee Great album with an even greater title and cover. 8/10 Favorite Track: Grounded

The way he crafts beats makes it easy to segue into all sorts of other types of music - free jazz, experimental, ethnographic, hip-hop or tropical dance, it all flows so well.

"Pick any point in his catalog and you might hear a rapper drawn to classic hip-hop beats, but on your next pick, you’ll find him as the frontman of a hardcore band, or making wild experimental music bordering on free jazz, or straight up jazz loops, or coldwave, or hyper-modern post-mumble rap."
