Lady Neptune: NOZ (digital, Night School, May 2022)

If you opened this expecting to read something pseudish about the latest electroacoustic experimental whatever, then I am afraid you are going to be disappointed. This record is gabber. It has hoovers and everything. I believe it is traditional to refer to this kind of thing as “face-melting”, and for good reason. It’s also insanely catchy from start to finish. I’m sure I’m madly out of the loop, but it came as quite a surprise to me to find that people are still making this kind of thing, especially people like Moema Meade, who is a young Welsh–Brazilian ex-lo-fi-punk. Surprised and delighted, because this is a record that is basically guaranteed to make your day brighter and better.

I bought this from the artist’s bandcamp page.
