It doesn't take much for me to agree to doing a music album review despite my startling lack of musical knowledge. With Because, Everyone is Wrong About Everything All the Time, the new project from Scottish based musician Adam (Japan Review) under the Lo-Fi Melancholia for Kids name, you have an album that is not at all a good fit for a horror blog. I guess it would be perhaps something that I would listen to as I wrote reviews.
Over half an hour you have ten of maybe garage-pop style stylings, which reminded me slightly of The Strokes. Might not be a good comparison seeing as I don't like that band, but the vocal style seemed similar in my mind. There are plenty of sad, gentle, and indeed melancholic tracks that echo the feeling of great Summers long past. Beginning with 'Energetic Midfield Player', a delicious four minute opener, things get more slow and sombre with 'The Dark Outside', and that continues with much of the album, such as 'Smog', and 'Ragland'. The tracks sound similar but not so similar that they bleed into one. There are slightly more energetic tracks within, such as 'The Arrow' and closing track 'Spare Century'.
Maybe the worst music review I have yet done, I listened to Because, Everyone is Wrong About Everything All the Time while doing a deep clean on my house, a very much work-in-progress thing I've decided to do now that I have a lot more spare time in my free time. It might not be anything to do with horror, but this was a decent album with a good flow to it, and plenty of wistful tunes that took me back to happier times.
