I just did my rare check-up of the front page, so I finally got to listen to these songs.
How-Low-Hello’s song is nice. It’s a bit of a mess, which I like. It has a nice constant beat, and the singer is good. I’m not sure if I’d like all of their songs, but this one is good. I think I’d get bored of it quickly though, like most songs of this style. It’s good for an occasional listen, and I imagine it’d be great live.
I think I’d listen to the ZHIEND song more. These types of songs always make me nostalgic, and they are really relaxing. It’s the type of song I’d listen to while staring out of a window. Everything kinda blurs, and you fade away into the nothingness. It’s still not something I’d listen to regularly… but I’d group it with the music I listen to just to blank out. Things like the Walking With Strangers album, or some of the peaceful Linkin Park songs.
I think the best way to describe the ZHIEND song is… Escapism in audio form.
