Andrew Forell’s Dusted Year End 2024

Mukqs, Photo by Brett Naucke

Well, that was a clusterfuck of a year. I barely have the words and frankly enough has been said about not just 2024 but the augurs for the next four years and beyond. So, to the music. It was a strange one. I felt like I could barely keep up with the amount coming out and after a while I stopped trying and slowly learnt to let go of FOMO and concentrate on what came my way and the serendipitous finds from the occasional rabbit hole excursion. Below are my favorite records of the year and a bunch of others I’ve enjoyed and recommended to anyone who asked (and a few who didn’t).

Mukqs — Eye Frame (Orange Milk)

Apart from the technical aspect of his live sample-based improvisation, Mukqs’ Eye Frame is like an aural version of Fantastic Voyage. It feels like you are travelling through the sounds of your own mind and body sometimes in reverie and sometimes into the eddies of anxiety at its core. As I said in my review “Mukqs moves his music seamlessly between light and shade, combining waves of sound with microscopic detail, using staticky glitch to enhance natural sound and recognizable new age tropes to ameliorate the unfamiliar.” Each subsequent listen has revealed further dimensions in Eye Frame and I’ve found myself returning to it more than other record this year.

Francesco Leali — Let Us Descend (Until Riots)

Francesco Leali and his collaborators create a disquiet world on Let Us Descend. Fascinated by the ideas of coercive control and psychological manipulation as the heart of modern society, Leali holds a scratched and tarnished mirror to our gaslit world. Using a minimal palette of electronics, percussion, and strings, this is some of the darkest and most distressed music of the year. An appropriate, and ironically, consoling response to the events of these too dread times. Leali creates moments of great beauty on tracks like “Catatonic Blue” and “Hexed” that provide glimmers of hope amongst the terrible mess. 

Arab Strap — I’m totally fine with it 👍 don’t give a fuck anymore 👍 (Rock Action)

It’s always a pleasure to hear Aidan Moffat’s exasperated, heartfelt poetry. Taking stock of the deleterious effects of social media has been a staple of the last few years but Moffat’s ability to combine scathing satire and emotionally resonant turns of phrase can stop you in your tracks. Behind him Malcolm Middleton moves from big beat to gruff Pet Shop Boys to lush Bacharach inspired orchestration to delicate acoustic guitar and string arrangements. Whether wielding scalpel or bludgeon, Moffat is at his windmill tilting best. A lovely rollicking ride this. 

Iceboy Violet, Nueen — You Said You’d Hold My Hand Through the Fire (Hyperdub)

Barcelona-based producer Nueen provides grainy washes and granular details that frame Manchester artist Iceboy Violet’s dissection of a lost relationship. The music slips from interstitial space, mercurial, shapeshifting. The voices weave though, now submerged in smoke and murk, now crystal close, expanding the liminal spaces between grief, loss, and lust. Violet processes their pain and regret in language that moves between poetic abstraction and breathtakingly specific detail. An album of real beauty and pain.  

KMR/KMRU — Disconnect (Phantom Limb)

On two lengthy tracks “Differences” and “Arkives”, Nigerian sound artist Joseph Kamaru AKA KMRU discusses colonial power, history, and identity over Kevin Richard Martin’s ambient dubscapes. On the first, more abstract piece, Martin layers KMRU’s voice so that it echoes like the oral histories so vital to the transmission of culture in his homeland. “Arkives” is an explicit and telling condemnation of the colonial obsessions with suppressing language and fetishizing the collection of artefacts. The pair then perform haunted deconstructions on both tracks. “Difference”, Differ”, “Ark” and “Arcs” work as shadow miniatures, reducing the words and music to ritual abstraction that work on a psychogeographical level as hypnotic invocations of knowledge and being. 

Sinaïve — Pop Moderne (ANTIMATIER)

French trio Sinaïve bring the cool. Looking like Warholian foundlings, all sharp edges, mod clobber, sunglasses after dark and an effortless way with a beat or a riff especially when they’ve copped it from a song you didn’t even know you loved. “Providence”, which sounds like Brigitte Fontaine over the tidal swell (and decelerated riff) of “Taillights Fade” and a rickety drum machine is a magnificent undulating slab of melodic sludge. “Dasein (Oder nie sein)” careens along the open road, all motorik drums, squalling guitar, and a thrumming bass riff. Pop Moderne never fails to provide an electric jolt.

And my throat burns, my eyes water, my mind cloudy, can’t sleep at night. But whatever I literally dont care. 😎

whatever i literally dont care 😎 <- cares so much that it feels like my organs are tearing themselves apart in my chest

I love you so much. Kaayo.

Please, please tell me the truth. Do you still love me? Am I too much na?

Have you fallen for her?

Pero ngano?

Gusto ko ipagsigawan mo ulit ako, post about me publicly, tell the world I am yours. After closing the relationship, I posted that I love you, many times, but you? Never.

You purposely don’t post about us anymore.

Why? For privacy? I understand, your clients have big names, I don’t mind removing me in your posts, but how about stories?

I felt so guilty taking pic of us and posting it to your story, AS CUSTOM. I felt so guilty posting it in custom when what I really wanted was to post it publicly. You can post gogo in public… why not me?

Okay, no more IG but youre not even in FB anymore.

You leave me on seen, you don’t react to my selfies, my videos, even my nudes, i dont even think you saved them in your phone. And you dont send nudes too or just tease photos. And I feel so needy and dirty asking you to send it. I feel so dirty cos I dont think you like it when I flirt with you. I cant feel that you want me.

I feel like I am being too much, too needy, too distracting for you. I feel so kilig when you said you wanted to close the relationship cos you want me, need me, love me. Pero ever since coming back, you didn’t post about us.

God, i feel so toxic to you for asking this when I shouldnt.

Naa pay locket app. Why? For what? Did you two fall for each other?

“Di ako naga accept ng calls sa mga taong ayaw magpakita.” Edi wow. Sanaol.

Haven’t done anything related to Inktober52 or Inktober-related in quite awhile, so I decided to do a digital ink drawing of whatever the heck these creatures are, including this one from Minecraft.

[a-bucket-full-of-feels]

Oh my god.. someone actually wants to translate my nozomizo fics to Chinese and share it on a Chinese fanfic site.. and I'm just 🥺🥺🥺

As a writer this means so much to me - to know that there are people out there who like my writing and stories so much that they want to share it with the wider community

[shiroselia]

Fuck Sappho jag känner bara till Selma Lagerlöf

[fictionimitateslife]

I finally read the translations for the main theme songs in Bravern, because I forgot one can just do that, and I think they both might just be making fun of us right in our faces.

HELLOOO????!!

DDD

I just want you to send sweet and spicy reels or videos or pictures, just like I do to you. But you send reminder videos, health videos.

I want you to put me back in your public stories. But you put me in custom only.

I want you to talk dirty to me. But you just smile and shake your head at me.

I want you to put your hands on me. But you only do hands and shoulders.

I want us to talk dirty with each other. But only I initiate it, yet again, you smile and shake your head at me.

I feel disgusted with my self, cos I want both wholesome and nasty but I'm not getting the nasty. I feel dirty that I want you so bad sexually, I feel dumb, that I wanted pleasure after the healthy videos.

I feel disgusted, dirty, and dumb.
