Oh man a lot of the guitar stuff here is super crunchy and lovely and exactly the tone and lushness I miss sometimes! Wonderfully distorted. (Their sound reminds me of Supercar Johnny! Hello~! That's a compliment!) Also drums sound good. His vox will need a little getting used to still, but I do like them. They're a bit nasal or something?

But yes. This is nice.

his voice is warmth and sincerity and love it's allowed to be nasal

Yes I think so too. Warmth is right, sincerity too. That nasal quality is not something I hear a lot, so it does stand out a little, not yet sure in what way.

I'm a big fan of that kind of nasally voice, tons of early 00s indie singers did that.

Yes I guess they did! It was never a genre I explored much at the time (too busy with Cradle of Filth and Within Temptation and Moby and The Prodigy back then haha!), despite always being interested. Don't know why it never happened!

Better late than never.

They aren't really a band I'd consciously rank solos for lmao, but you're probably right

Johnny, that's sort of what I was getting at. But they do have more solos than you might initially think! Time's Arrow, Utilities, the live version of Wellington's Wednesdays etc. So like four or five I guess ;)

I'm a float in a summer parade

Up the street in the town that you were born in

With a girl at the top wearing tulle

And a Miss Somewhere sash

Waving like the queen

all you ever want to do is drink and watch TV
frankly that thing doesn't really interest me
i swear I'm going to bite you hard and taste your tinny blood
if you don't stop the self-defeating lies you've been repeating since the day you brought me home
