Wholemeal and Fortified

Albums that I love that make no sense together. Good nuggets of flavour.

  1. Drone again. Sounds like trauma. Because it is.

  2. Mad Season

    Perfect for listening to after a long shift at the warehouse, on a vinyl player very loudly while you faceplant some fresh bed sheets.

  3. If resonance and other woo woo is true this taps into it.

  4. Windows 96, Gavriel

    Literally the only thing that would let me secrete dopamine when I was signed off work.

  5. Mastodon

    It’s Moby Dick. The book. Yes. But make it metal.

  6. Pidżama Porno

    Polish punk. It’s own thing. My mother.

  7. Might lift my own ban on visiting Germany just to listen to this while on the autobahn.

  8. Yugoton

    This is good but the original Yugoslav music was even better.

  9. I don’t event know if I like this album. No no - I love it. I also don’t want to loose my passport.

  10. First and only canonical MCR albums; all others are actually from a parallel universe and therefore not a valid sacrament.

  11. Ys
    Joanna Newsom

    A masterpiece. Eventually. Just keep it on repeat.

  12. Jocelyn Pook

    Something for the acid reflux. Cute and cursed simultaneously.

  13. Choeur des moines de la grande chartreuse, Unknown

    You can hear the cloister. That’s it. You can hear the alps in the background.

  14. Ethel Cain

    Drone. Lots of drone and then a bit of light but mostly drone.

  15. Is this possibly the worst Aphex Twin album? Yes. But I have synesthesia so this looks sick in my head.

  16. PATRIARKH

    Nostalgic in that specifically Slavic depressed way. Black metal but orthodox, comes with its own schism in the band too.

  17. Two chords and screaming. Very good. Iconic. Vegetarian. Anti war.
