Eliot Wilder: Manual of Errors

Monica
A Manual of Errors is an intriguing album of Eliot Wilder. Its funky beats fused with alternative country folk makes up this exciting album. It has twelve tracks, with two of these purely instrumentals. Funky raps and beats, and definitely a fun, fun song, A Manual of Errors has more than the usual “interesting” tag. Its creative interlude, sudden silences in between the verses and the chorus creates anticipation. This track is a paradox of good old fun and dark humor.

Audience of Actors: Love Like Thieves

Monica
Love Like Thieves is a 16-track album by the band called Audience of Actors. The musical styles of this band are reflected in this album ranging from alternative, indie folk, and rock. Someone’s Side of Forever is a track that is a perfect example of band’s low and morose vocals. This track is centered with heavy, melancholic guitars. Despite the obvious sadness of the tune, Someone’s Side of Forever showcase alternative indie folk at its finest.

Casual: The Return of the Backpack

Monica
The Return of the Backpack is as exciting as the return of the king of the elite rap lyricism. Casual and the Seattle-based, indie rap beat maker Jake One made thirteen tracks that make up, a smooth, solid album. “Backpack” represents rappers who do not appear charming to a big audience. Casual though, wears his backpack proudly because he is rhythmically convincing and his character reverberates on every track he makes.
