East India Youth: Total Strife Forever
A debut album that bursts with beauty and boldness that will keep strife away forever.
Laurel Halo: Chance of Rain
It’s not as challenging as some critics have made it out to be, not when Halo’s grilles of beats can so easily ensnare you, body and mind, like how sheets of rain catches a child in awe.
