Entry 1132 - My Sister's Fugazi Shirt - Man Fears The Darkness, and So He Scrapes Away at the Edges of it With Fire


Style: lofi hip hop

Primary Emotions/Themes: A continuation of the Evangelion series in the style of lofi hip hop

Thoughts: If there was one criticism of the first entry into this series it's that the Evangelion samples may have been underused somewhat. That's hardly the case here, there are so many samples from the series that the album feels nearly saturated with them... and that's a good thing.

The atmosphere that was present in the first entry is here as well: well executed beats, that religious/ethereal atmosphere, and songs that know exactly what they are. There are so many idea's here that it could easily become boring or disjointed, but the opposite is true. Each song knows exactly what it is and how to get the point across, then it ends and moves on to the next idea.

Out of all the lofi albums I have, the Evangelion ones from My Sister's Fugazi Shirt are near the very top. These two albums are something else, they go by in an instant and are perfect for both active listening as well as passive. Essential listening.
