Obsidian

Label: Anticon Records
California native (whoop!) Will Wiesenfeld’s second album, and boy, does it kick some serious ass. According to the internet, this album reflects Will’s bout with e.coli, which left him bed ridden for months. Very dark/ stark, this album is a sharp change from his first. With Will’s dark lyrics and unique vocals, layered on top of ethereal creepy sounds, lovely piano. This album is chill-wave exploring an old mausoleum on Friday the 13th. Enjoy! :-)

FCC’s: 6

*1 (4:26). Creepy vocals with dark driving beats, howling, nice noisey synth. Mmm. Gets faster too. Great track.
*2 (4:34). Faster dance track with wavering male vox, strings, piano groove, and sounds of rain.
3 (4:40). Melancholic love song with slower beats, keyboards, crackles, and bad ass fem vox peeping in too.
*4 (3:52). Crackly fast beat with claps, electric guitar, washes. Poppier song about getting old.
5 (4:40). Medium beat with nice noises, harp (?), about lost love <3
6 (4:14). FCC: fuck Driving beats with some nice noises and synths. Gets schizophrenic.
7 (4:52). Faster track with emotional keyboard, shimmers.
*8 (3:40). Playful keyboards with noisey slower heavy beat. Nice noises!
9 (4:34). Dramatic, reminiscent of Deftones. Heavy drums and distorted guitar but with lighter vox.
10 (3:50). Light drums with crooning males. Rainy day, but uplifting and cozy track. No real spoken vocals here.
