more news to follow shortly

We didn't have enough with a squad of angry brazilians, now we gonna get Pitchfork stans, RYM stans and even Pheromone stans at our doorsteps!

Now this is journalism. Nay sayers be damned.

Pheromone grappling with how to speak authentically to a record already lost in a miasma of internet tastemaker hyperbole, wrapped in a layer of irony thin as a cell membrane to let across indiscriminate particles of genuine discourse seemingly at random

A moment of silence for our Komrad

A 3.5 you say? I'm interested

what

lmao whats the point of this news article

thx for the news, Hugh Puddle!

"Now this is journalism. Nay sayers be damned."

Truth be told, my mouth is hanging halfway open at this stage.

if someone writes this for me i will give them 100% of the profits

this is a contract, sign below:

Is this the thread where we talk about hating asians

(This is a joke reference to a thread from a day or two ago, please do not actually talk about that)

oh too soon?

hahaha komps, i saw that edit, did you get spooked at the implication??

but also yes! i hat-

-e rym's tendency to overhype stuff now adays

That's an implication one ought to be spooked by.

Pitchfork makes all of the snobs on Sputnikmusic look like they only listen to butt rock.

...and LDR

i, too, have a bedroom

Good songs, but it could have used more diversity IMO.

you may be better equipped for this review, jesp

no but i can ghostwrite the second para for you

LOL

Hoping I like this album but not so much that I can't retain a sense of detached superiority over its hype pedallers.

Uh oh I'm really liking the first track

Me too :[ ... and not just the first one.

"Hoping I like this album but not so much that I can't retain a sense of detached superiority over its hype pedallers."

it's a perfect album for this imo, but fuck me if that fourth track isn't a year highlight

I was gonna say "yeah this fourth track is amazing" but checked and I'm only on track three. If track four is even better I'm in real trouble here.

now this is the quality journalism I visit Sputnikmusic for

Listening now, i dig it. Reminds me of really early mew without the high pitched vocals.

Why is this newsworthy

Album sounds interesting though

dweebs get on this

This kind of article is unironically more entertaining and informative than 90% of the news on other music sites

Also surprised at how much personality and charm this album has

The first 2 tracks are absolutey fantastic. The production is gonna be a huge hurdle for some its so trash but its kinda charming? i dont know.

eh

I was gonna say how tf did this even get approved, but it was posted by staff lol

Mare Cognitum gets a 7.5, now this gets an 8.0 - it's a great week to be a one man music project. Great article lol

Come to sput to read about a pitchfork review the fuck is this

I'm listening now, and it sounds pretty damn good to me. The production is fantastic. This is a bit of a weird article... what happened to just enjoying good music that you like?

If this article is an indirect prompt for starting to read p4k because it suddenly discovered there's good stuff to unearth from the underground, well thanks but no thanks, non-existent free time is limited as-is.

Why is this news? 🤔

people be like "why is this news?" like 'New Bop from Jungle' hasn't got only 2 comments

"lmao whats the point of this news article" / "Why is this newsworthy" / "the fuck is this" / "Why is this news? 🤔"

because 1) p4k reviewing rymbandcampcore is a good meme
2) i did not have the patience to write a review and neither did phero but ian cohen did so uh kudos he is a patient boi
3) now people know this album exists lol
4) if you're investing energy into reading sputnik news expecting meaningful content, you probably would be better off reading p4k unironically js

isnt all shoegaze effectively NEETgaze tho? discuss

nice meme

isnt all shoegaze effectively NEETgaze tho?

ye, pre much

That Pheromone quote = headline news story

hear that all the time, cheers

Now this is news

Sputnik staffers stright up shitposting here, respect.

epic work this is what i pay $50/mo. for

kept listening. The production gets grating pretty quick, but theres some cool ideas behind it.

@johnnyofthewell if you can't write a review, write a blog

i still have mixed feelings on these shitposts

Would like more of these sorts of news posts honestly.

‘because 1) p4k reviewing rymbandcampcore is a good meme’

Yeah guess I’d have to know this to get it, also wasn’t expecting an actual Staff shitpost. Proper naughty. Johnny’s gone rogue.

P.S. carry on then.

I appreciate the effort and research that went into this news article. Please keep us updated.

lmaooo

album's great btw everyone should check

They may only have listened to Chemtrails in the ass STAFF

I enjoyed the album for the most part but I found the production incredibly grating, even for lofi standards

Alternate reality where pitchfork writes an article whenever someone on Sputnik writes a drunk review

Would Sowing be the Ian Cohen of that timeline or does another staffer fit the bill better

i was just listening to this album today / finally i am a cool kid

Bring back bitchfork

fuck off

-gs3k

sputnik has gone off the deep end. i'm here for it

So this probably sucks

this is important news

"NEETgaze" Make the shitty genre labels stop

there is no better label for that album

cringe

Pitchfork is weird. Their rock/metal stuff reads like a bunch of high school boys who just discovered t3h h3avi3s last month. The rest of it is apparently the online version of turn-of-the-century NME.

Well anyways the album is p good

I thought I'm supposed to laugh at this but I actually enjoyed the album. Definitely some genuine lofi qualities here.
Also big thank you to anyone who put The Brave Little Abacus into similar artists. That band fucking deliveres.

Got around to checking the album and damn it's great. Surprised it's only at a 3.4 here.
