Kalle Hygien Mount Meru LP
Reviewing records can be super rewarding and fun; getting exposed to new stuff, getting to be effusive of your favorite artists, maybe even turning some people on to a brand new thing. And in the past, it even felt the tiniest bit “important” because if you wanted to check out an artist, you probably had to buy the entire record/CD/tape, so a review could help you decide how you’d spend your hard-earned bucks. I don’t have to worry about imploring you to save said hard-earned bucks by avoiding spending them on this record. You should not buy this record. But in 2026, you could easily listen to it without much cost besides your time, I suppose. This is not good. But maybe you get your rocks off on that stuff? I’m not going to say “don’t listen to this” because it’s, well, it’s something. If those indie bands of the late 2000s that tried too hard to show they were weird (THEY SHOOT HORSES DON’T THEY, MAN MAN, later OF MONTREAL) tried to ape GORILLAZ beats, it might sound something like this? Maybe? Either way, I listened to it so you don’t have to.
