Music Diary Oct. 19-25 🍁
Favorite Track: She Needs Him - Her's
Favorite Album: Flying Saucer Attack - Flying Saucer Attack
Genres: shoegaze, indie rock, bedroom pop, garagerock revival, canción melódica, folk, akishibu-kei, j-pop, hyperpop
Thoughts/Comments:
This week was quite varied in terms of genre, compared to last week that was rock based. I feel that I under-listed to some of the albums, and next week I am going to do more concentrated listening. My favorite moment this week was listening to Her's while driving into the sunset.
