Album of the Day - Sayonara Wild Hearts by Daniel Olsén
So this is the soundtrack to the game Sayonara Wild Hearts from Annapurna. I love the game and highly recommend it. It's an arcade-style rhythm-ish game that looks beautiful and the music is amazing. It's also queer and sapphic and just all around fun, and for some reason I just like playing it this time of year. The soundtrack is not in game order but you can find playlists that arrange it so. Tldr this is one of my favorite albums and it just gives me feels.
The game is around fifteen dollars and it's amazing and highly replayable

I will mostly post daily album recommendations, but I will talk about music from time to time.
Today is the first Friday of the month, a.k.a. Bandcamp Friday, which is when the platform waives any fees it charges artists. 100% of the money you spend on digital music and merch will go to the artist, so it's a great day to support your recent favorite musicians.
Reblog with anything you're picking up on Bandcamp today!
I'll be picking up this hip-hop release from 2 Mello and Million Sunday. I first became acquainted with 2 Mello through Memories of Tokyo-to, a concept album about recreating the distinctive music of videogame classic Jet Set Radio.* Their second album of the same concept, Sounds of Tokyo-to Future, had one of the tracks picked up by indie game Bomb Rush Cyberfunk.
And there goes March, which if you pair it with the end of February saw me listen to nothing but Tom Petty for 12 straight days. And he still snuck in a few times after that.
Thoughts: This album is concentrated “Hot Girl Summer” from top to bottom. After spending over a decade curating this conceptual aesthetic of afrofuturistic sci-fi imagery to narratively tie albums together, Janelle Monáe lets all the pretense and conceptual work wash away under the waves of a laidback, seductive, sun-soaked backdrop of reggae and neo-soul. Monáe has liberated herself, both in the freedom to write music that she wants to make, and in the stories she tells on this album of love and sexuality. It’s the “Wet Hot American Summer” of a whole new generation, and Monáe is not missing out on a moment of it.
Does this album really need an introduction? It's one of the best albums of all time (according to guys with podcasts and music review youtube channels) Guitar good, vocals good, songs kinda sad which is always a big plus
