Welcome to the Yap Space, where I yap about different topics in a casual and poorly researched manner.

Hades in the dead of winter is one of my favorite songs this month. I was looking for a good shoegaze playlist to work on a project to, then I heard the riffs in this song. Next thing you know I wake up with this song stuck in my head and a bag full of counterfeit monopoly money. The band, My dead girlfriend, was formed in 2005 and have released several amazing albums that they have gotten far too little recognition for. Their style is the classic shoegaze sound, lots of distortion and noise buildup. In hades in the dead of winter, they add a crisp guitar riff, dreamy vocals, and some sort of beep boop noise that I can’t place, to the surface of the song. These elements make the song easy to get hooked on. After you listen to the song for your first 4 times, you start to appreciate the emphasis the drums bring to the lyrics. Speaking of, the lyrics to the song are entirely in Japanese, so I looked the english translation up to see what I was actually listening to. The lyrics are in the perspective of someone grieving a dead loved one. I would recommend looking at the translation, though I assume the lyrics are less meaningful in english than the original language. Overall I would recommend this song!
