this thread isn't me being glib or ironic or anything. i genuinely think yyaldrin's art is brilliant. really, really potent.
with craner i get this real sadness that he's not more in the public consciousness. he should be a renowned columnist. he's got such a fully formed aesthetic-worldview nexus, that's so niche to him. there's swathe of things that happen in the world that are dying for everyone to be able to say "that's so craner". i really ache and mourn the fact he's not famous. he should be someone every middle class person's aware of. he should be charlie brooker level famous.
yyaldrin's art fits into that camp. it shouldn't just be some people on dissensus and on twitter that see it. its too good.
i am surprised his music's not been picked up. it's very, very good and i know there are labels putting out adjacent things. maybe he's not sending them to the right people.
