04.06.21 | Been an ok year so far, but still waiting for something to completely blow me away. Cassandra Jenkins gets the rare honor of one of my favorite songs of the year on my least favorite album |
Sowing
04.06.21 | This will make a nice guide for my catch-up listening. I've heard most of these because our tastes tend to overlap, but I really need to check 3. |
Sunnyvale
04.06.21 | Nice list, fair amount of overlap on our favorites! I'm curious about that Flock Of Dimes album, I've seen it pop up different places a few times now. |
Gnocchi
04.07.21 | list needs more death metal obviously. |
dmathias52
04.07.21 | Yeah would def rec 3 for you too Sunny! Has some of the best guitar playing I’ve heard in the genre in a long time. And I was completely unfamiliar with Flock of Dimes, but it was a really nice surprise. Good mix of hooks and interesting music
@nocte Gimme your fav death metal from the year and I will jam it tomorrow just for you |
Gnocchi
04.07.21 | My fave hasn't been released yet - which is a big call with Ad Nauseam in the wings. How about I give you my top 13 albs of the Q1 and you can stab at a random? |

04.07.21 | Isn’t “Price of Blue” off the Flock of Dimes amazing?? |
Sunnyvale
04.07.21 | Thanks man! We'll aim to check both Matt Heckler and Flock Of Dimes then |
NorthernSkylark
04.07.21 | You should check the new notwist. It fits quite well with these entries. |

04.08.21 | @Boney Yessss I'm obsessed with it. Also love the title track/closer. One of the best piano ballads I've heard in a while
@Skylark Will add to the list for today! |
someone
04.08.21 | so that Valerie June actually good? always took her as another generic soul/blues revivalist that was armsreach away from some local smalltown amateur doing it on-a-whim |
WatchItExplode
04.08.21 | I forgot about Typhoon...should probably check that out. |
dmathias52
04.08.21 | @someone Her past work didn't grip as much (I wasn't familiar with it before her new one) and I would say your description isn't super far off for that past stuff. This one though has a whole lot more variety. It has some Afrobeat and r&b tendencies and plays a lot more into psychedelic pop structures. I know not everyone has bought into it, but I love it
@Explode Honestly this was my first Typhoon. I went and checked their old stuff after listening to this one. Definitely worth a spin, especially if you were already a fan |
Conmaniac
04.09.21 | woah pretty list, 2 has been one of my top ones too so far
also hell yes top 10 😎 |
theBoneyKing
04.09.21 | @dmathias, I’m not huge on that title track on 6, but it’s nice. Are you familiar with her material in Wye Oak? This new album is nice but doesn’t meet the level of most of their output. |
