TEXAS BLUE

i can’t believe quadeca predicted the future. it’s wokevember, y’all, or something like that from what i saw on instagram. i don’t listen to this album from quadeca all that much. it’s a lot less congealed than other projects from him like vanisher or i didn’t mean to haunt you. this doesn’t necessarily mean that it isn’t good, because it is good, but compared to the rest of his discography, it feels like a misplaced blip of b-sides (the b-sides are good regardless, kind of like with tame impala). the piano on this song is nice and the climatic instrumentation at the end is as well. i can’t help but feel that this song is overshadowed by better songs on this project though like guide dog, or pretty privilege (or shit, even dustcutter (i saw dustcutter live one time, a few hours after meeting quadeca (i have a folder on my phone labeled “meeting new people” now because of that, but there’s only two pictures in yhere (him and the frontman from lip critic)), and it was pretty cool to see; overall, that show was pretty cool to see) i remember when texas blue was announced (this song, not the midterm results), everyone chronically online went batshit crazy that kevin abstract was collabing with quadeca but to be honest, i didn’t care all that much. kevin abstract is fine on here, i guess. i find that his projects are generally underwhelming compared to what someone with his creativity could actually achieve. he makes really cool stuff sometimes, and then other times, he doesn’t, or he ends up working with nine vicious (y’all hear cracker? don’t even get me started). anyways, happy wokevember and i can’t wait for demcember and liberapril. thanks.
