things i’ve liked this week, vol. 4

2025-06-03

here are some things, new (to me), that i liked this week. or, the last six months. insert something about time not being real.

music

under tangled silence by djrum

i’ve been listening to this constantly. sonically it’s a combination of acoustic instruments and drum-and-bass. i bet this would sound great while hiking on a mushroom trip. it certainly feels like a landscape, morphing from a lush orchestral meadow to the rainforest light of dappling percussion, to a whitewater rapid of synths. a very special album.

i love to be the age where i can say, i’m extremely old fashioned and listen to very little music from younger generations, yet i vibe with this. so i will. dissociative hip hop combined with emo, it’s nothing i listened to as a kid—so nostalgia can’t be it. it must just be that good, even if i’m not really sure what hyperpop is anymore.

short film

“homemade gatorade” by carter amelia davis

a short film that is a fever dream through the world we live in, where everything is amusing but vapid; nothing seems really real; and where our machinery seems to drive us straight into oblivion.
