★ the eyes just like a fawn’s
★ paradise song
★ shepherd. a lot of these are interesting, but that’s about it…
★ talk: i can’t help but see macdonald duck eclair as kind of an also-ran in this whole scene.
★ la flamme de l’amour, though what is with that synth riff?
★ ever green: this is your closer?! i guess i’m baffled more than anything, but bafflement is a valid emotion too

it really makes me itchy too

thoughts on all of usagi-chang, at this point

  • YMCK: they made a niche and rocked it. i think they deserve their success
  • Sonic Coaster Pop: the sound here is perfect and crystalline and would be classified as a controlled substance. i want there to be more of this exact tincture, yet i find it hard to imagine how it could develop… though i have ideas
  • Misswonda: it’s hard to know what her ambitions were here, with this as a solo project. i want to listen to her other album before i make up my mind fully, but i loved wonderful tangent so this isn’t a huge ask
  • The Aprils: normal beauty / affinity bias. but i’m glad they stuck around for a bit
  • Macdonald Duck Eclair: they’re the most netlabel-sounding group on here. their production sounds cheap, their arrangements sound haphazard, and the only song of theirs which fully melts me is one that i love despite its flaws. i’m glad they’re doing their thing, though, i guess
  • PINEam: to be decided, though i don’t feel especially motivated to track down that last ep

guest stars

  • Plus-Tech Squeeze Box: genuinely, honestly, better songwriters and producers than most people will ever be. actual mad geniuses
  • micro mach machine: i can appreciate them
  • EeL: who is she?
  • Motocompo: kinda cute for what they are but aren’t much more than that
  • nobody else is really worth mentioning
