"Keep trying... please" By Izar
The whole album is about conveying extremely personal emotional highs and lows without lyrics (mostly, pretty much). And this track feels like someone turned the struggle to motivate yourself into an energetic and epic boss battle. It's good. I'm probably doing it a disservice, the way I'm overselling it, but underrated gems deserves all the love they can get.
"Of Devious Machinations" by Gentle Love
Take the already ridiculously striking Shovel Knight Soundtrack, and Jazz it up. What do you get? Some smooth shovel jams to sleep to. Or maybe get startled awake to, thanks to some hauntingly good work on the sax (I think) in the case of this track.
"When Doorways Crumble Inwards" by Disparition and Rhandir
The whole EP here is all about strange and fascinating fantasy vibes. And as you can probably guess from the track title, this one is about the feeling of something fantastic, yet irreversible and otherworldly. It's a neat track off a neat EP. Goddamn.
"AM4:55" by DJ Amane
Simply a fun and fairly energetic track. Perfectly named, as it feels like one last good song before the club closes. Or maybe the last five minutes before you get to go home. Either way, you're probably walking out just before sunrise. It's also the perfect song to end this impromptu post on. Thanks.
