Uicideboy, a rap duo comprised of Ruby da Cherry and $lick $loth, have made a name for themselves in the underground music scene with their unique sound and ethereal magic. Their music combines elements of trap, emo, and horrorcore, creating a dark and atmospheric world for listeners to immerse themselves in. The duo's ethereal magic lies in their ability to create an otherworldly atmosphere through their production and lyrical content. The beats incorporate haunting melodies, menacing basslines, and eerie samples that transport listeners to a different realm. This ethereal quality is enhanced by the duo's use of reverb and delay effects, which add a dreamlike quality to their music. The result is a sound that is both captivating and unsettling, drawing listeners into their world.
"TVI" sounds a lot like their early material, energetic surf punk mixed with power pop, really playful and uplifting. Fairly strange placement in the album
Self Portrait is my favourite from the bunch since it manages so well to be abrasive yet full of vulnerability, it s almost a post-hardcore song, which I didn t expect and 2 38 gives me goosebumps every single time I hear it. Unwell takes the energy down a notch and it leans purely into vulnerability, it almost reminds me of The 1975 in the first minute and a half of the song, then it explodes into heavy menacing guitars and ends with a surprising piano and violin part, perhaps it would ve been a good idea to put this track at the very end.
The result is a sound that is both captivating and unsettling, drawing listeners into their world. Lyrically, Uicideboy explores themes of depression, addiction, and nihilism, delving into the darker sides of the human experience. Their lyrics are often introspective and introspective, reflecting their own struggles and personal demons.
Surf curse magic hour album
This might be their most diverse release so far and I'm absolutely here for it
The album begins with "Arrow" reminiscent of 90's Pavementeque slacker rock. A fairly good vibey and energetic lil song that's trying to prime you for the pain that's to come
"Cathy " is a mellow Smashing Pumpkins flavored jangly piece of music with a slightly cheesy vocal delivery on the chorus
"Sugar " almost sounds like heartland rock, and it's where I feel that the gut punching part of the album begins. The lyrics are pretty sparse, but it makes up for that with raw emotion
"Lost Honor " is a good old indie rock and post-punk revival-tinged song, I think that people who like Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever will enjoy this (including myself)
The lyrics really hit home. 2:45+ is really anthemic and it makes you want to sing along to
"Self Portrait" is my favourite from the bunch since it manages so well to be abrasive yet full of vulnerability, it's almost a post-hardcore song, which I didn't expect and 2:38+ gives me goosebumps every single time I hear it. An almost perfect song
"Unwell" takes the energy down a notch and it leans purely into vulnerability, it almost reminds me of The 1975 in the first minute and a half of the song, then it explodes into heavy menacing guitars and ends with a surprising piano and violin part, perhaps it would've been a good idea to put this track at the very end
"Strange" is a fairly forgettable slacker rock tune
"TVI" sounds a lot like their early material, energetic surf punk mixed with power pop, really playful and uplifting. Fairly strange placement in the album
"Little Rock 'n' Roller" is a little indie rock tune that fans of Twin Peaks and perhaps Peach Pit will probably enjoy. Nothing special really
"No Tomorrows" is a slow bedroom pop tune, something like Yellow Days or Palace that turns into noisy psychedelia towards the end. Can't say I care much for it
"Fear City" now this is something I didn't expect, or perhaps I should have expected since these last few years UK based art punk was all the rage. They did a flawless job at incorporating the saxophone (even if they could've played more diversified notes on it) and the subdued/energetic parts are almost perfectly blended in
"Randall Flagg" is yet another Pavementesque slacker rock tune that is executed really well and has probably the best lyrical content on this album
I rate it 7.5 due to the presence of a few fillers, and some songs that although good they felt quite derivative.
Favorite tracks:
-Self Portrait
-Sugar
-TVI
-Fear City
Least favorite tracks:
-Strange
-Little Rock 'n' Roller

Reviews for "The enchanting melodies that make $uicideboy$'s music ethereal"
1. Sara - 1/5
I was really disappointed by "Uicideboy ethereal magic." The beats were repetitive and lacked any originality. The lyrics were predictable and lacked depth. It sounded like they were trying too hard to create an ethereal atmosphere, but it just fell flat. Overall, I found the album to be uninspiring and forgettable.
2. Michael - 2/5
As a fan of Uicideboy, I was hoping for more from "Uicideboy ethereal magic." However, I found the album to be quite underwhelming. The production was decent, but the lyrics and overall vibe lacked the energy and grit that I love about their music. It felt like they were experimenting with a different sound, but it didn't resonate with me. I hope their next project brings back the fire and intensity that they're known for.
3. Emily - 2.5/5
"Uicideboy ethereal magic" had its moments, but overall, it didn't live up to my expectations. The duo can be incredibly talented, but this album didn't showcase their best work. The tracks felt disjointed, and the transitions between songs were jarring. I appreciate their attempt to explore a different sound, but I don't think it was executed as well as it could have been. There were a few standout tracks, but they were overshadowed by the overall lackluster nature of the album.
