this and mount hope could use more attention, good stuff

Yes, I agree. Way more attention

Album Rating: 5.0

this album, one of the best things ever.



to know that they apparently made another full length, years and years ago, but its not coming out because of some label drama (Robotic Empire)... such bullshit. i don't think i'll ever get over it. fuck you universe. and the aforementioned label.

Seeing them live at Roadburn this year was a truly magical experience, there were so fucking good.

"TOTEM, the first new album from Virginia's PygmyLush in 14 years. Like their previous output, it was recorded and mixed by longtime friend and collaborator of the band, Kurt Ballou, at GodCity Studio in Massachusetts in April 2016. And as with their other three full lengths, Pygmy Lush — the band sworn to never break up, only take breaks — is readily recognizable here: a bit different, and a bit the same. Unlike their earlier work though, TOTEM sat (or stood, fully formed and erect) complete, yet unheard — unreleased, “shelved” or “lost” — until now."

announcement of the year for me. I will be reviewing it when it drops 🔥

Hopefully the new record brings them some much needed attention and appreciation and they'll finally reissue their older stuff

Album Rating: 4.5

I feel like a fool for not giving this album my full attention for so long. I think coming off of Mount Hope I was a little let down by the brighter tone of this record, but I can’t deny that they really evolved as songwriters here. Now I almost wonder if I like it more than Mount Hope or not… either way I am even more excited to hear Totem now!!
