february always finds you folding
local papers open to the faces
”passed away” to wonder what they're holding
in those hands we're never shown, the places
formal photographs refuse to mention
his tiny feet, that birthmark on her knee
the tyranny of framing our attention
with all the eyes their eyes no longer see

Phero is this your #1 OAT?

meadowlands and this honestly sit together pretty comfortably above everthing else - this more than any other reveals itself more every listen even 7+ years on
so happy to see you love it

‘03 was a hell of a year eh? This, Meadowlands, Transatlanticism, Magnolia Electric Co and plenty other greats.
|

recently gotten really into a post punk / post hardcore album from that year too, black eyes - s/t
has to be my favourite year at that point

Album Rating: 5.0
Sounds interesting, may add to the list. Also just remembered ‘03 has my favorite Drive-By Truckers album as well. You heard any of them Phero?
But yeah ‘03 is up there with ‘97, ‘98, ‘00, ‘02, and ‘13 for me. Roughly 1995-2005 in general was really the peak of indie though.

Gave them a run through in around 2013 when 'English Oceans' came out and didn't love. jeeze though that was ages ago so ill give them another go

Hm, I like English Oceans but wouldn’t say it’s a great starting point. Their early 00s trilogy (Southern Rock Opera through The Dirty South) is classic. Not sure how up your alley they’d be but some of the country moments here indicate you could dig some of that kind of stuff (though they’re more southern rock for the most part).

“ black eyes - s/t”
This is excellent, thanks for flagging it.
I’m so close to 5’ing this album

fuck yeah hel the album is immense if you're into that sort of thing- really cant contemplate how that bad boy hasn't developed the craziest cult following

here's a deep cut, alt version of Past Due from some compilation https://youtu.be/spPpuAAY0QU
I might prefer that outro to the slightly anticlimactic electronics on the album version ngl

At this rate all I’m going to listen to for the rest of the year is Samson/Weakerthans

I'm jealous tbh - I've always wished I could connect with this on the level of Left and Leaving
Still a phenomenal album obviously, near top 50 for me
