Style: Lofi hip hop
Primary Emotions/Themes: A collection of short but potent ditties
Thoughts: I don't know how many times I can write about lofi hip hop without mentioning again and again how much of a tenuous relationship I have with the genre. Honestly so much of it feels like it's AI generated at this point, it all runs together with hardly anything standing out. Needless to say, for something to truly stand out and be in my collection it really has to be some quality music.
Needless to say intevention_'s Fauxlii does exactly that. These songs, while short, leave a lasting impression on me every time the record hits my turntable. Each one of these creations channels such pure emotions - joy, wonder, peace, curiosity - that I'm given pause. Yes given, it's not forced upon me... it's not even something that I have to accept. The music simply extends it's gift and I am compelled to take it, simply by being in it's presence.
There are too many songs to write about in the context of this summary, but know that this is truly a wonderful album to listen to. It's subtle in it's ways and won't demand much. But if you find yourself enthralled by the simpler things in life Fauxlii is certainly worth your time.
