With new hardcore, a lot of times I’ll find out about stuff through a more intimate way, whether it’s someone posting about it on social media or a flyer for a show. It’s kind of like a classic.ĭiscovering new hardcore can be a little different to discovering new pop music. The recording of it just feels aggressive. It’s just so raw, the songs and the guitar and his voice, everything. This is probably my favourite Poison Idea release. I hadn’t listened to this Poison Idea EP in a while, and it was a good soundtrack for exerting myself and getting the energy levels up. Even going for a run, I don’t always need super high energy, aggressive music – I’ll run to Enya or something like that. Drukqs is a really dynamic record because half of it is beautiful piano ballads and half is fast chaotic electric production.Ħ.35pm On a run – Poison Idea’s Pick Your King EP. Later, I looked into it and I found out it was Aphex Twin, and I found the original and then got really excited about how insane that music is, how dynamic and beautiful. I just thought their cover of it was so good – I didn’t know what it was, and I actually didn’t even know it was a cover at first, I just thought it was their song. One day I picked a CD by this jazz duo called the Bad Plus, and they did a cover of Flim. I used to go into Tower Records when I was young, and my mum would let me buy a CD. This is definitely one of my favourite Aphex Twin albums. It does soundtrack a morning very nicely.ġ2.45pm Riding bike back from the park I put on Drukqs by Aphex Twin. That morning, I just had the melody from In a Good Way in my head. My decision to listen to music is always very sporadic and random – it doesn’t necessarily always match the mood of exactly what I’m doing. Keeping these journals, I realised that a lot of the time, I’m listening to music while riding my bike. I think she’s a great songwriter, and has an amazing voice – I just jammed the whole album while I was cruising around.
