ok fair point I didn't do the reading thing
LCW comparison is buckwild but if he'd said We Were Dead/Ground Walks style MM I wouldn't really disagree with his point there. this has more in common with that Talking Heads wave indie than it does black midi (thankfully)

I don't think the comparisons are with sound, but theme and emotion wise: quirky, anxious, manic
Y'all acting like it's getting compared to Carrie & Lowell or some shit

are you suggesting that TLCW's acrid takes on small town poverty and gentrification inflate it into a metonym for "quirky, anxious, manic" music in the same way that sufjan's personal tragedy became a trope for contemp introspective sadcore?
because there's an easy answer to that

@ghandhi Correct in that both genres are still producing interesting and valuable material, incorrect in that neither has any substantial potency as a cultural force

All depends on what "dead" means, and in rock's case what "rock" means
|

this does kinda sound like modest mouse at points but definitely not their indie stuff
