Natural Snow Buildings

Today was a very snowy day. I stayed over at Adil’s and we watched as his pine tree and the neighbouring roads and roofs were gently blanketed white.

I don’t really like the winter. Though, I do get to stay inside and listen to more music.

The best winter music would be in the realm of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Thee Silver Mt.Zion and Boris (recent recommendation, thank you Ian.)

There’s another band like above who’s very underrated: Natural Snow Buildings.

I got recommended this band via a Reddit user I was talking to during the summer. We had similar taste in synth-pop and post-rock and were going to collab. We sent each other our music and he was very good on the keys. We made plans to meet up at the start of September, but I had a lot on my plate that I decided not to.

I felt really bad for suddenly ghosting him and never talking to him again. He messaged my sometime in October but I didn’t respond to that, either.

But I recently discovered that, dear God, he’s a manosphere bro. And there is a particular figure he seemed a big fan of. Christ, it was right in his username. The one I saw for weeks straight during the summer. I dodged a fucking bullet. My avoidance really came in clutch this time. (Though, he seemed very nice and polite in our DMs. So maybe I’m jumping the gun.)

I can’t help but wonder why this keeps happening. Maybe I am cursed 4eva.
