Summer 2021

(July - Sept)
1The Go! Team
Get Up Sequences Part One


Another carefree day soundtrack from Parton and co. Short, sweet, lovely as ever.

A Bee Without It's Sting, Let The Seasons Work, Tame The Great Plains

4/5
2Bo Burnham
Inside (The Songs)


Without the visuals, this is still a decent collection of comedy songs with some personal moments

3.4/5

All Eyes On Me, Welcome To The Internet, Goodbye
3Lucy Dacus
Home Video


Oozes a quiet confidence and knows how to keep cool, but also knows when to pick up the pace

3.5/5

Triple Dog Dare, VBS, Cartwheel
4Wavves
Hideaway


Another collection of anxious, paranoia-laden tracks from the big kahuna (a word which here means 'landlord) himself, but when they try to change up sounds its very hit or miss.

2.8/5

Help is on the way, The Blame
5Crimewave

3.2/5

Big Blue, It's a bad day, Last Name Wave
6Drinking Boys And Girls Choir

fast-paced co-ed vox punk with some moments of like, idk, Korean Tigers Jaw, i don't know how to describe that

3.6/5

Odoby, Time, I Am Not A Machine, Secret Revenge
7Bleachers
Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night


this feels more sonically coherent than his previous record. unfortunately it's too subdued for me to really get into. That said, the one-two of Big Life and Secret Life is nice

3/5

Big Life, Secret Life
8u-ziq
Scurlage


A lot of fun melodies, some really ethereal stuff hiding in here

3.7/5

Oxwich & Penrice, Blauwasser, Sketty, Strawberry Aero
9Danny Elfman
Big Mess


big mess

3.3/5

Just A Human, Insects, We Belong, Happy
10The Killers
Pressure Machine


Flowers draws on Springsteens Nebraska as well as other folk songwriters of past generations to make what is thematically and lyrically the best songwriting on a Killers album to date. Musically it's a different direction, with the most anthemic sounding moments confined to the first couple songs. Album takes a lighter approach, with quieter melodies and restrained synths that actually don't scream out over everything else, for once.

4.4/5

Quiet Town, Cody, Sleepwalker, Pressure Machine, Desperate Things, In Another Life
