I couldn't get into Double Negative, but do very much like 'Things We Lost' and the debut. This is perhaps not a formula for success here (seeing other comments), yet I'll be giving this a spin anyway because I'm a strange Demon sometimes.

Do not get your hopes up, I’m more or less in the same boat as you. (It’s a bit better than DOUBLE NEGATIVE but much like my feelings toward Bon Iver, I wish Low would just give up on the pseudo-experimental electronic stuff 😒)
|

this is less floatyfloaty vapourmusic than Double Negative and more like putting homemade "pop" songs inside a microwave for irresponsible lengths of time
maybe this will be a good thing

^Good description, but also: More pared-down sadboy slowcore pls

“there’s *never* enough of that,” he said as he huddled awkwardly at the corner of his bed, clutching a well-worn Down Colorful Hill LP.

no more slowcore pls
we're all under 45 here

As if a major portion of any thirty-two-year-old’s life weren’t shaped by slowcore and midwest emo.
Maybe I need to stop living in the past.
Then again maybe the future just sucks. 🤷🏼♂️
|

all the best slowcore songs are either infinitely loopable (Drunk W/ the Only Saints I Know, Katy Song) or colossal prick teases than won't ever let go (Down, literally anything on Stratosphere)

midwest emo should've stayed dead after 2008

I mostly agree with both of those sentiments although, Johnny, I don’t consider either of those descriptors particularly pejorative. And Pika, why do you think I can’t help opining for the “good old days?” Contemporary MWE is by and large atrocious. At least slowcore has a *few* worthy torch bearers.

Re-reading, maybe you don’t consider them pejorative, either.
It is early and i’m at the gym, reading comprehension not fully booted up yet sry

Oh for real lol, love all those cuts and others and their respective states of purgatory !

Emo revival should've never happened, you know it, tecboy
Time to listen to some penisfold

I said I agree with you, for the most part. There are a few “emo” releases since 2008 that I cherish/love, but most of them are only tangentially emo, or emo-by-proxy, and wouldn’t really be considered part of the revival wave, like THE FUTURE IS CANCELLED, MAYBE YOU NO ONE ELSE WORTH IT, FOUR OF ARROWS, SCIENCE FICTION, et al. Most modernist/revival takes on true “emo”/MWE are abysmal.
|
| |
Only outliers I can think of are HOME LIKE NOPLACE IS THERE and WHENEVER IF EVER—genuinely love those albums, inexplicably. Everything else by either of those bands is massively meh to downright putrid. But those albums I do admittedly love. Felt the need to call myself out before someone else did. There are exceptions to every rule, tho !!!!
