Montoya's 2024 grind was hard to match. I think STRFLL was on the same level in terms of my blog's coverage, and I still haven't posted all their releases! "Always & Forever" is Montoya's long play for this year, consisting of 11 songs that showcase his sample-flipping beatmaking and rap skills. Emotional witchgaze is all over this release, and with his introspective lyrics Montoya feels like a natural crossover between post-Lil Peep era trap and alt rock. Vibing, not a single weak moment on this record.
