Alias Conrad Coldwood is best known for composing the OFF soundtrack (which is, in fact, a huge banger) but he also releases some original tunes every once in a great while! according to the official upload "Crying Girls is a compilation of a few tracks I kept on my hard drive for the past ten years"

gorgeous, quiet, contemplative soundscapes (there are some songs here that like to Party too). scintillating technology shuttled you to outerspace, but it has long since fallen away, leaving you to float amongst the splendor of the stars all alone

FAV SONG: LUNARIA

random youtube comment: "This sounds like if the Backstreet Boys got addicted to huffing paint and locked themselves in a neon basement for two years living off of only freezer cheesecakes and dried apples"

FAV SONG: Those Who Can't, Cheat

listened to this album so much when i was writing essays in college. Extremely Chill Vibes, the songs have a sort of airy quality to them? music for looking out your window towards a distant, dilapidated city, a small pang of nostalgic melancholy flickering in your heart

FAV SONG: Airy Me

i approach you at a party, my arm brushing against yours, my breath crawling down your neck. "oh, so you like music?" i give a little chuckle. "well, im a bit of an musichead myself. now, there's this one artist that's real good, real visionary, you probably haven't heard of them." i begin pulling an album out of my polo shirt. "Death Grips? ever heard of them? you see, their album The Money Sto

FAV SONG: Hacker

a concept musical broken up into three acts on three separate albums. REAL good singing and you got everything from Cheesy Musical Tunes to Wow That's A Fucking Banger. and no, i don't have any clue what the story of this musical is supposed to be, i simply just vibe to it

FAV SONG: Maximilian Von Spee

i've enjoyed all of Glass Animals' albums, but ZABA is still king to me. it's just such a moody boppin Jungle Vibes album and sometimes it's got funny animal sounds off in the distance

the singular big Vocaloid producer i can think of who regularly uses Kaai Yuki. a lot of the songs got the same sort of chill-boppin vibe but it's a Good Vibe so we are thankful
