Clairo teamed up with an artist named Claud and a couple friends to form a new band called Shelly. First two singles:
new arcade fire song, cant decide if its any good or not. probably just still mad about how terrible their last album was
Didn’t they do this before, ie have a song ready to release to coincide with something that happened politically?
Cool. They open up for Futurebirds this week, so I will see them. Also, the new Delta Spirit is really good.
Fall of Troy has a new album out this year as well. Blast from the past for me, they verge on unlistenable to so fucking good, but when it hits its fantastic stuff.
I hadn’t realized that The Antlers put out another single on the 10th, “It Is What It Is.” Before listening to it, I assume this is about people dying of Covid. Looking at the lyrics... uh maybe?
Familiars wasn’t too depressing, more crises of identity than metaphors of death. The vocalist’s falsetto and orchestration are beautiful enough for me to dig all of it, even when it gets emotionally heavy.
Yeah I definitely think they are talented and definitely sound good, just prefer more upbeat for my own sanity.
The Nicolas Jaar and Dave Harrington former project DARKSIDE put out a live album recorded in 2014. Love Jaar but always thought that this was his best project out of his varied excellence.
I remember walking up to their set at Bonnaroo 2014. It was a late night set. The crowd wasn't very big. It was a great show.
That was my first Roo I missed in 7 years. Haven’t been back since. I forgot that Darkside were on the lineup. Looking back, that mid card was stacked. Now Bonnaroo has shitty mid cards. Was going to see them at the Mountain Oasis Festival the previous year in Asheville (freaking great festival formerly Moogfest) but had to leave after the first night because of an emergency so never had the chance to see them live.
I literally just listened to singing saw for first time this week, and it’s so damn good. This isn’t good and I see waxahatchee in the video. Did hipsterjoe worst fear come true?
bit of a Psychedelic Porn Crumpets vibe with the instrumentals here, which is never a bad thing Mother's Cake, album came out a few months ago
New Lydia album came out this week. Haven’t had a chance to listen, but I’m expecting to love it. Edit: This bops.
