Music Vocabulary

Our "Słówko Dnia" theme for last week was "Language for Musicians". A popular Youtuber -- TheNeedleDrop -- posts a new music album review a couple of times a week.

He's a good source of new music for me, as he recommends and reviews different genres of music. Here is his latest review of an album by a California-based producer: Tycho.

The review is full of interesting, music-related vocabulary. Here are some of the keywords:



  • a nerd
  • California-based
  • dying breath
  • chillwave
  • easy-going
  • an instrumental
  • pleasant
  • atmosphere
  • feel-good vibes
  • shimmering
  • gripping
  • offensive
  • to harsh a buzz
  • to set a mood
  • an LP
  • an EP
  • pastel
  • to look forward to sth
  • a change of pace
  • bedroom-producer
  • snappy 
  • crisp
  • twinkly guitars
  • instrumental grooves
  • warm basslines
  • post-rock
  • tangible
  • uneventful
  • synthesizer lead
  • progression
  • heavy beat
  • layered synthesizer
  • drum and bass breaks
  • to go on a limb
  • to turn up
  • grit
