The pathos of things is a shared experience, soundtracked by bedroom recording project TofN's first full-length record, Mono No Aware. Tenant's followup effort to 1 ½, continues and expands upon the themes of melancholia and ephemera, the exclusive use of acoustic samples, while introducing a warmth (which may just be a pipe dream). The album traverses a narrative of night into day: a busy night of juxtaposed secrets and emptiness, from which your memories cause wincing and self-hatred, as is too often the case; culminating in an encounter which leaves your already troubled mind traumatized; and the morning after, your chance to cleanse. The night of detachment giving way to the light of empathy. Heaviness to a tremulous levity.

"Scantily is such stoicism seen in character, that morphs so seamlessly the life of a monastic dandy (in the best of senses) with that of a 21st century student."

AMPHETAMINES MUSICAL ADVENT CALENDAR
This holiday season, Christian rock band (or something) The Amphetamines are releasing a song a day to bring some levity to our freezing spirits! We have no idea whether these are new tracks, old tracks, or if they were even recorded by any of the current members, but it'll definitely be an entertaining way to avoid friends and family this December!
The Amphetamines are kickstarting the project with the release of Anarchy in Finland, a promotional single and today's drug-riddled and parent-frightening song. The Amphetamines were featured on the classic compilation Kingston Underground, which will be released online for the first time very soon.
