One Hundred Days of Albums: Love In Arms by Gabriel Bruce (100/100)

I’ve spent the last week or so considering which album I wanted to write about for my very last day of this project. I knew I wanted it to be something familiar, something that would fill me and connect me to myself and to the world. I knew that it had to be more than…

One Hundred Days of Albums: Last Night On Earth by Noah And The Whale (099/100)

Noah And The Whale were a staple on my high school playlists. I think it happened after watching a YouTube video of The Vaccines performing “If You Wanna” live on Australian radio, the lead singer of Noah And The Whale on lead vocals because Justin was too sick to sing. After that I played The…

One Hundred Days of Albums: The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers (098/100)

I start feeling everything around this time of year. Not that I don’t usually have a lot of feelings, because I do. Just that all the sensations I’ve felt for the last twelve months and all the sensations I want to feel for the next twelve months suddenly collide and explode in the middle of…

One Hundred Days of Albums: Love in the 4th Dimension by The Big Moon (097/100)

I spent three full hours this afternoon making a vision board for Twenty-Twenty. Ripping pages and pages out of a giant stack of magazines, cutting out what spoke to me, arranging it all on a big piece of cardstock and gluing it all down. Inhaling handfuls of Sour Cherry Blasters and listening to my Spotify…

One Hundred Days of Albums: London Calling by The Clash (096/100)

The sun was perfect today. I worked a seven-hour shift and at some point in the morning it felt like the sky had cracked open. Ribbons of gold streamed in through the windows of the bakehouse and in between the rushes of pulling espresso shots and running plates of eggs and bacon to tables I…

One Hundred Days of Albums: Songs from the Limbo Lounge by Beach Baby (095/100)

I only have six days left of this project. And it’s bittersweet, getting to the end of it. One hundred days is a long time, one hundred albums is a lot of albums. At times I wanted to give up, stop the project completely, move on with my life. But now that it’s almost over…

One Hundred Days of Albums: All Mirrors by Angel Olsen (094/100)

“True Blue” by Mark Ronson and Angel Olsen is one of my favourite tracks of the year. I think it’s magic, I loved it as soon as I heard it. The lyrics are romantic and all the love inside it comes across in the delivery. I’m obsessed with so many of the lines – I…

One Hundred Days of Albums: This Is Happening by LCD Soundsystem (093/100)

I am almost overwhelmingly intrigued by LCD Soundystem. James Murphy seems untouchable, I read about him and I feel like he can’t be human. The world he created with this project is incredibly far removed from anything I know, from any phenomenon I’ve ever been part of, from any fandom I’ve ever belonged to. What…

One Hundred Days of Albums: What’s It Like Over There? By Circa Waves (092/100)

This album has been sitting in the back of my head for months. I saw Circa Waves live once, at a one-off show when George Ezra and James Bay co-headlined. They opened. That day was long. I remember enjoying their set but also desperately wishing that it would be over and that we could be…

One Hundred Days of Albums: Trouble Will Find Me by The National (091/100)

I realized today that this project has gone on for ninety days and I’ve only written about one record by The National. And in the beginning I assumed it would stay that way. I’d try my best to write about things unknown, things far away from me, things that would require my full attention. But…
