Cloudburst is becoming my favorite song

Album Rating: 4.0

Man this is so good

Album Rating: 4.0

Yeah I’ve been spinning it nonstop for days. It really is.

Album Rating: 3.7

Opener on this is really awesome and so was Cloudburst up until that shoehorned embarrassment of a final minute. Are the rest of this band's flirtations with bm and/or grind as amateurish?



edit: damn Propaniac sounds like Gospel covering Baby's First Coffin??? ok

"embarrassment of a final minute" nahh lmao, that shit is kinda peak

Album Rating: 3.5

Still really need to check this

mathcore index sent me down this way, lets jam!

Album Rating: 3.7

Really liked this and felt the amateurish songwriting and genre contortions added to the charm overall, but yikes a lot of those whiplash bm/grind/MIDWESTERN CORNBALL lurches made me wince. Underwhelming closer too. Excited to see how it holds up throughout the year, but I think this band can/will grow a long way

Album Rating: 4.0

Glad you liked it overall Johnny. I’m curious to know what you felt was amateurish about the genre flips. Not even in like an accusative way, just wondering.

^given this a couple more spins trying to decide a rating and:



- Cloudburst coda bears absolutely zero relation to the rest of the (otherwise v cohesive) song and pans out as 100% shoehorned brutality. clunky section in and of itself anyway = big time amateur clutch

- Propaniac breakdown at 1:30-1:40 is an awkward squish that feels phoned in to destabilise one section so that the next can replace it. pretty useless in and of itself - relatively inoffensive, but definitely feels shoehorned. section 2:59-3:08 is another transitional nonentity that neither resolves nor adds anything on its own terms. the heaviness + manic tendencies of the rest of the song warrant an apropos-nothing coda much more than Cloudburst, but i'd say that part walks a fine line (however enjoyably)

- 1:18 on A Gradual Unwinding is a somewhat procedural shift of gears that has an extremely early 2010s bedroom project feel to it. 2:14 works from a songwriting perspective but lol those skramz are v endearingly amateur. rhythm guitar from this point to 2:46 is somewhat clumsy. 3:43 is derivative to the point of amateurism. finale of this song is fairly underwhelming tbh, not sure that's specifically amateurish though

- Remembrance pahaha where to even start on this one. 0:55 to 1:29 holds up as a standalone as does 1:29-2:19 but jfc this song has absolutely zero shape to it and the band are v much biting off more than they can chew in the brutality dept at the start and end (somewhat endearingly but)

Album Rating: 3.7

Those four are the main offenders, and I still think Cloudburst and Propaniac are pretty good songs regardless. Absolutely love the t/t and rate the opener + Perfection Your Name a fair bit - this definitely has enough going for it to get away with throwing shit at the wall at points, but that mess do be real

Album Rating: 4.0

Okay I can see what you’re saying. That stretch of songs is obvi also the stretch with the most whacky moments too so…

Album Rating: 3.7

Still v much jamming that t/t, gives me an insane amount of nostalgia for the Tera Melos/Athletics/Sport/Solterra/Cotillion vibe of loud-emo-math-postrock that got me hooked on this site in 2012

Album Rating: 4.0

Tera Melos is a great comparison

Album Rating: 3.7

i hear a bit of Kidcrash as well now i think about it. this record would have been huge here 10-15 yrs back

yeah "this sounds like kidcrash" was a recurring thought throughout my first listen

Album Rating: 4.0

Shit i haven’t listened to Tera Melos or kidcrash :x

Checking now

Album Rating: 3.5

this def got some spark to it

title track is incredible. rest ranges from almost great to messy but kinda cool/interesting

saw them and they didn't play the first 2 ie the best 2 on here so sadface, but they were sick. i'm guessing their last outing was heavier considering most of the set was heavy/noisy

whata great band name
