Jams and Jellys
A lot of the things that I'm jamming this year. I lied about the jelly.
Recs please |
| 1 |  | Dance Gavin Dance
Instant Gratification
AOTY so far? It's a weird thought to think that, but so far, yeah. Very concise. |
| 2 |  | Jeff Rosenstock
We Cool?
Knew this would be good, didn't know it would be as good as it is. It's a great time. |
| 3 |  | Alesana
Confessions
I have a confession. I think this album is awesome. Only other thing I've heard by them in full is On Frail Wings. Plus a select few songs and that EP from last year. I see no point in trying to defend that they are actually a good band so yeah. Stone me or something. |
| 4 |  | Bjork
Vulnicura
Okay, I haven't played this since it came out but I loved the hell out of Lionsong and I remember liking everything else. Spotify is how I do music now and it's not there so that's my excuse. |
| 5 |  | Too Close To Touch
Nerve Endings
Solid debut with a good sound. I'll be seeing tem with I The Mighty and Hail The Sun. Until I Collapse and Hell To Pay are bangers and Pretty Little Thing is catchy as hell. |
| 6 |  | Mew
+-
The stream on NPR just stopped working for me before "Rows" (I think it was?). Very upsetting because I was vibing to it. I hope this is the year I finally take the chance to listen to all of their material as opposed to just the handful that I've heard and loved. |
| 7 |  | Hawk Eyes
Everything Is Fine
I heard most of the album and will come back soon hopefully. This was far more accesible than Ideas which I never got into as much as I wanted to (hopefully that will change). |
| 8 |  | Neutral Milk Hotel
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
I'm finally as in love with this as everyone else is. Took me awhile, but god damn, it's phoenominal. |
| 9 |  | The Hotelier
Home, Like NoPlace Is There
I saw them live with Title Fight and La Dispute and they were just so much better than Title Fight despite being their opening act. I had already listened to the album about 3 times beforehand and although I really liked it first listen, the next 2 made it feel more average. And currently, I'm loving it way more than before. |
| 10 |  | Forever Losing Sleep
I Lost Myself Again
Saw these guys a little over a week ago and they killed it. Check them out if you like that post-rocky emo somewhat Pianos Become The Teeth type stuff. |
| 11 |  | The Tallest Man on Earth
The Wild Hunt
I am listening to this currently and god, it's finally clicking. Couldn't stand the vocals every other time I tried, but now it's officially living up to the hype. |
| 12 |  | Runaway Brother
Mother
Almost forgot this. Very solid stuff and it's nice to be enjoying emo like this again since I really didn't last year. |
