 | Laen I love Turquoisedeath, he hooked me with Kaleidoscope and The Obelisk, I think new one coming soon! I'll check out Dreamweaver thank you! wew
|
| Laen heyy saw the Dusqk rates, if you have any recs based on him, literally cannot stop spinning his music
|
 | DadKungFu Pease TSwift just one more album I swear bro sput will be saved I just need one more release we can write a 2.5 review for please bro
|
| DadKungFu 6k views on the Sleep Token rev in less than 24 hours is pretty damn good, gj dude
|
 | Atari based on your recent Beths ratings I'm assuming you've heard the new track, Metal? sooo good
|
 | Asura14 Ye I almost did the same too so I get it ^^ another rec would be the latest flipturn album, might be my aoty so far, really pleasent listen
|
 | JayEnder Jespy check the new Glare album. Seems right up your alley
|
| Asura14 hey! hope you're doing well, just wanna drop a suggestion: Envy of None, weirdly fantastic dream pop/rock release, first track is not it tho (just a heads up)
|
 | someone Yeah idk what that entails and am certainly not gonna start trying to figure it out now
|
 | Sunnyvale Nope... I heard their 2024 LP (liked but didn't quite love) - will have to check that EP though.
|
 | budgie https://circustrees.bandcamp.com/album/this-makes-me-sad-and-i-miss-you do not skip this
|
 | Iamthe Nightstars If you don?t have time or don?t care it?s all good lol. https://realpal.bandcamp.com/track/petals
|
| Iamthe Nightstars Hey, I?ve seen you around on sputnik for years now I don?t think we ever talked but I?ve seen a lot of your reviews and comments and appreciate all of your contribution to the site. I honestly don?t like telling people about my music but I figured from your interest in Gleemer you might want to hear an album I released earlier this year with a friend as we?re both inspired by Gleemer. I was listening to the Down Through album a lot when I wrote this song on it.
|
 | Feather You hit the nail on the head with the PTV one! Might be a good strategy of one sentence reviews.
|
| Feather Lol I didn't read your PTV review, but dont even feel like I need to after reading your tl;dr comment of "aka floral
|
| Asura14 Insane coincidence then.. but nah unfortunately, I live in Porto (north) but I'll be in Madeira till early jan.. enjoy your holiday tho (assuming that's what it is)
|
| Asura14 did you pick Boston Manor's Saudade for your wrapped list because you realised Im portuguese from my shoutbox, if yes props for that, if not then ure some sort of magician
|
| Asura14 heeey, can one expect a Gleemer review soon? Your Down Through review is the reason I found out about those guys, absolutely love that band, looking forward to jam the new album
|
 | artificialbox dude, when I saw your comment it took me a minute to realize it was actually YOU in the video haha. so crazy the algorithm would show me that, makes the internet feel like a small world. 10/10 entertainment, fantastic work!
|
 | SlothcoreSam Lol, hope you enjoy it. It's a different gaze to gaze upon with your ears
|
| SlothcoreSam You gotta check this s***gaze band out, Squee-Squee. Best way to describe it, is lo-fi shoegaze with skramz. The last 5 tracks are phenomenal.
|
| Sunnyvale Fingers crossed it will click for ya, thought you might dig! Anyway, that is sad news about Ruby Haunt - 2017 was the last year they didn't release an album. Hopefully they'll fully recharge though, their last few haven't been quite as good as the few before in my book.
|
| Sunnyvale Hey Jesper! Think you might enjoy the album from Half Waif which came out a few weeks back - See You at the Maypole. One of my favorites of the year.
|
| SlothcoreSam New Ceres album this week, Aussie emo, probably the best thing to come out this year
|
 | ArsMoriendi Now that it?s actually out, I am asking again for you to check Feats of Engineering by fantasy of a broken heart cuz I think you?d like it
|
| JayEnder I may have some words to say about it ;] stoked for your write up tho! Hoping for some believe the hype gushing haha, such an addictive song
|
| JayEnder Dibs on the new Balance review? Or are you already cooking lol
|
| SlothcoreSam You need to put the new Wasted Space at the top of your list. Probably my AOTY so far, Sput user Madrigal outdid herself
|
| ArsMoriendi This is a collection of 4 singles: https://open.spotify.com/album/5xXj2BZ9wWkJv8SzTHRG1u?si=beL7uvU2T3yJtT5Nt3sn4Q the whole album (Feats of Engineering) comes out on the 27th. Since you like dream pop, I wonder if you'd like it/review it? idk though
|
 | Sowing Thanks for the rec! I listened to Electro Poetry and really liked it, so I'm going to check the entire thing this week.
|
| SlothcoreSam You should check Queen of Jeans- All Again. Female fronted indie punk
|
| SlothcoreSam Yo check the Sput user's band Real Pal's album. It's some tasty emogaze
|
 | fogza Thanks for the heads up will give it a check
|
 | Slex Love that DT 5, I'm close brother
|
 | Zac124 Definitely for indie and shoegaze. They really dominate my last.fm around this time of year.
|
| Zac124 Listened through your summer playlist. Some really great stuff! Thanks.
|
 | iChuckles Ah gotcha I'm from sweden myself so I had to make sure haha!
|
| iChuckles Jesper is a conspicuously sounding Scandinavian name, where are you from?
|
| budgie very pretty indeed!! they have quite a few singles on that label i need to dig through but i think the sound is promising
|
| budgie https://labrecords.bandcamp.com/album/call-you-later
|
| Sunnyvale Thanks for the heads up - will check them both!
|
| Asura14 Friendly heads up to not listen to the new BMTH but instead check the new softcult EP, seems up your alley
|
 | xxm You are most welcome.
|
| xxm Hilarious takedown of that DGD FIR BVB tour announcement. You are simply a legend on here.
|
| someone You'd be a jester instead of a Jesper if you hadn't listened to the new Manon Meurt album.
|
| Sunnyvale Yep, it's been a good start to the year all around!
|
| Sunnyvale TOO MUCH MUSIC! Never mind, gotta check. Thanks Jesper!
|
| fogza I knew it was gonna be good, saw her live a few months ago road testing the material and it felt like something special. Almost 4.5'ed it, was close
|
| JayEnder Wait You Wish is Brandon Setta's new band??? Had no idea he was still active. No wonder this has GoE vibes. Good stuff!
|
| JayEnder Dude check new Greyhaven EP asap it's pretty m/
|
| JayEnder Well that was... quite stellar ;] I feel like I've made it now lol
|
| Sunnyvale Damn, that Coming Up Roses EP rules! You should give it the Jesper review treatment - three sentences or so, throw around "shimmer" and "vibe", BOOOOOM
|
| Sunnyvale Thanks Jesper - sounds promising, will jam!
|
 | DoofDoof every time I look at the artwork I expect the arm to have moved to a more polite position...and it never has
|
| Sunnyvale Oh nice, thanks Jesper! Will have to check.
|
| someone chalk, check. kimchi, check. get yourself a new supply next time you're in Prague
|
 | Pangea jesp ik zie 0% van ichiko aoba niet in jouw ratings staan. fix plz
|
 | Assemblage Hi, thank you for the kind words on the BetweentheSkye track with the Molecular Corporation collab. I just posted a list that has a link to an album I made, since you enjoyed the track then I think you might like some tunes off of it as well!
|
 | Trifolium No worries, I was all like ----whoooooossssssssshhhhh-oh wow that was Jesper ---sssshhhwwwooooosssshhhh and then I was home. I wouldn't have seen me either!
|
| Trifolium Iiiiii saaaaaaaawwwwwww yooooooouuuuuuu. In the Nobelstraat. And I was cycling very fast. So hi!!
|
 | Dewinged Don't know if you have jammed the last Art School Girlfriend album, "Soft Landing". I'm just going through it now and it's pretty much Two People core.
|
| Dewinged Thanks Jesp, I'll give it a whirl!
|
 | CugnoBrasso You included every single menposter in your review, props for actually listening to the whole thing!
|
| xxm You?re welcome.
|
| xxm Good work on that Citizen review.
|
| Atari yeah couldn't help but hype 5 it lol (though it really might be that good). you might also enjoy the new album by Thank You, I'm Sorry ;)
|
| Atari how about dat Sincere Engineer?
|
 | Squiggly Hey Jesper you seem to like shoegaze check Dead Leaf Echo - The Mercy of Women :)
|

| dedex hey Jespy, hope life is treating you well!! Just listened to High Vis' latest record, it's very gazey n i thot u would like it! keep on Jespin'
|
| Atari Guess I forgot to respond but that?s ****ing amazing lol. Wish I could join you ;)
|
 | BlushfulHippocrene This is beautiful, thank you. Is their other stuff worth listening to??
|
| JayEnder Also I really hope you review that new Trophy Eyes album fwend. The 3 singles are more than promising, how good is Kill oml.
|
| JayEnder Pretty great stuff dude, The Nothing and Crumbling are certified heaters. Thanks for the rec :]
|
| Sunnyvale Interesting album name, will check shortly! Thanks, as always.
|
 | Pheromone u stupd piece of s*** why havent u posted to my SOTD yet
|
 | Manatea Lol jesp your blog feature was great. Also our philosophies on reviews are almost identical. Glad we?re friends.
|
| Atari Def their best in 15 years.. need to spend more time with it but so far I agree!
|
| Atari you better be right about that new FOB ;)
|
| Sunnyvale Hey Jesper! New Ruby Haunt Audiotree live EP out today, about to check it now.
|
| Atari rec for you: check the new album by Thanks! I Hate It I just rated. gets better with each listen and should appeal to fans of Hot Mulligan and Retirement PartyMarch 7 04:50 PM ? Remove
|
 | Vinnymcscoop They definitely had a change over the years, I can hear more energy in the singles.
|
| Vinnymcscoop Hey I check out Free Throw. These guys are actually solid, I like their first LP a lot! Much appreciated man
|
| Atari btw I randomly stumbled upon Soul Blind and they also rule!! you've been representing the good s***
|
| Atari haha, I know what you mean but you also have a knack for pumping out those short reviews ;)
|
| Atari man, Medication is a jam!! you think you'll review the EP?
|
 | AsleepInTheBack I was having a bad day the last time I heard that bb don?t worry it?s probs a 4
|
 | Purpl3Spartan Thanks for the recs! I?ll def be checking them out. I?ll let you know what I think :]
|
| SlothcoreSam Yeah big Gami vibes to start, was really pumped but then it kinda stagnated in the middle. Still a solid album.
|
| SlothcoreSam New Palette Knife album out tomorrow has your name on it.
|
 | AlphaSeed Hi Jesper, haha thank you! Hope you have a great day and enjoy the album!! Look forward to seeing a review if you do so. Cheers!
|
| Sowing emailed you at the only address I know for you
|
 | oWhoadYo Hey there, you seem really into the specific shoegaze/dreamy indie rock vibe that my band is inspired by. You'd probably enjoy us. Our name is Elemantra. We just put out a new EP back in September, entitled 'Only Momentary'. It's on Spotify/Apple Music/Bandcamp and all that jazz. I think you're a great music reviewer, and I'd be honored if you gave 'Only Momentary' a little write up here on Sputnik. We're in the database. Thanks man!
|
| AlphaSeed Hey Jester, my friend released this album recently - suggestion for a staff review! https://arronluke.bandcamp.com/album/dis-integration-deluxe-edition
|
 | kildare Excellent. I really do try to keep things concise. The downside of not having an editor is that I want to KEEP IT ALL, and don't have anyone to point to a paragraph and say "that stuff is fluff. Cut it out." But that's part of the challenge of writing reviews, I guess.
|
| kildare Hey JesperL, I'm sketching a review, and it keeps growing in length. As the most vocal Sputnik proponent and practitioner of short reviews, I was hoping you could answer a question for me: Are my long reviews an actual INCONVENIENCE for anyone on the staff? Or are they merely ignored? I'm like "the hell with it" if it's the latter, but if I'm actually creating a problem I'll put in the work to shorten it.
|
| Sunnyvale I just listened to that Daydream Twins album based on your rating, damn is it good!
|
| Sunnyvale New Ruby Haunt tomorrow! Hit me up on Discord whenever you start writing, figure we can both put together some notes/paragraphs and then merge them.
|
| cold already on that Soul Blind tip, big homie haha, but I'll peep no sun as well. i've just been heavily stuck on that new Skullcrusher
|
| SlothcoreSam Yo new Action/Adventure might to be your liking.
|
| Sowing Humorously, I had NO idea that skullcrusher was anything other than a heavy metal band. Listening now and it's super pleasant. Thanks for directing my attention.
|
| SlothcoreSam New Ways Away got a couple of good tracks on it. Listen to Happy With What I Have, and try not to think about the Yeah Yeah Yeahs Maps. Lol.
|
| cold Peep that new Twin Drugs
|
| cold I got some real Title Fight hazey vibes from it
|
| cold dang, a new Glitterer EP huh
|
| cold And dude, it is the PERFECT driving at night album. I listen to it in full at least once a day haha.
|
| cold I'm obsessed with the Just Mustard album, wooweeeeeeee
|
| SlothcoreSam You need u check Sput user PitchForkArms new album. Somewhere South of Here- Leave me for the crows. Massive Menzingers vibes.
|
| cold You?re the best, man. I didn?t dig Say Sue Me too much, but I really loved everything else
|
| Sunnyvale I hadn't heard, awesome! I'd certainly be down for that.
|
 | clavier hey! i saw that you dibbed the upcoming holy fawn album and was wondering if you'd be ok with me potentially writing something as well (no guarantees lol). i'd make sure not to publish it before yours or soon after. looking forward to reading your thoughts, i'm cautiously optimistic based on the singles.
|
| Sunnyvale Hey Jesper! Would definitely suggest checking that Wisteria Lodge EP which Pizzamachine reviewed. Seems right up your alley, especially the last song.
|
| Sowing I didn't pay too much attention to the lyrics, so that might help
|
| Sowing Really didn't like the new Deaf Havana album. That and Rituals are both so bland compared to how inspired they sounded on All These Coutnless Nights. I do think the song you mentioned was one of the better cuts, but for me the highlight was Trying/Falling. Very pretty ballad.
|
| Asura14 hey! have you never heard Soft Blue Shimmer? I just noticed their album only has like 7 ratings. It seems right up your alley, it was produced/engineered by Corey from Gleemer btw
|
| Sowing I didn't know they had anything new out. I LOVED All These Countless Nights but thought Rituals was very boring, so hopefully the new one is at least somewhere in the middle. I'll check it soon with a special focus on the song you mentioned!
|
 | RogueNine Came across this and it struck me as Jespercore. Takes a bit to get going but you may dig.https://museumoflightband.bandcamp.com/album/horizon
|
| SlothcoreSam Yeah, it's a great album, hopefully we can get the hype train out of the station
|
| SlothcoreSam The debut album by Ben Quad is definitely worth checking. It's Free Throw/Tiny Moving Parts inspired, but maybe better.
|
| Sunnyvale Had no idea, thanks for the heads up!
|
 | kevbogz good call jeboy. big step up from their previous releases
|
| Atari Check the new Neck Deep track
|
| SlothcoreSam Oh yeah that Wonderglu is great, I just added it to the database.
|
| Sunnyvale Sounds good! Will write something up then, seems like a good candidate for the "shorty" review treatment.
|
| Sunnyvale Hey Jesper! Just wanted to check in and see if you're planning on writing anything up for the new Vansire... Seems like your thing. If not, I'll probably try my hand, it's hitting the spot for me.
|
| Sowing That sounds like exactly my kind of thing. I'll check it out, thanks!
|
| SlothcoreSam Hey Jesper, you need to get on this new Cliffdiver album, it's gonna be AOTY material for sure.
|
 | SteakByrnes https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=426662#244154 !!!
|
| SteakByrnes hello my good bih I will check!! It's not in the database after a quick check tho tsk tsk!!!!! Unless they have a parenthesis like some goon loons!!
|
| Sunnyvale Thanks Jesper! Will definitely check.
|
 | JohnnyoftheWell 4.7/5 superb soundoff: I am dutch and have never once listened to music before
|
| JohnnyoftheWell start with Everything At Once All Of It lol. New is a nice alb and mainly needs to be BNM, but not the best point of intro. Maybe jam that and then Nighttime Birds bc it's shortish and very great and then everything in between will have intrigue!!
|
| kevbogz comatose - a way back. nu-grunge a la superheaven
|
| SlothcoreSam Hey Jesper, you will like the new album by Five Hundred Bucks- $500, it has Billy Talent/Green Day Vibes. Top quality Power Pop Punk.
|
 | Pikazilla greetings I have checked head in hand and they were pretty good; album felt a tad too repetitive in places but band definitely has potential
|
| someone do you have a link? cannot find anything named korobu online. thanks aplenty
|
| Atari think you might review that Proper? they need moar love
|
 | porcupinetheater Thanks for the heads up, sweet bb, have not heard Death Parade but absolutely must check if it warrants a "while we're on the subject" vis-a-vis Emma. Appreciate!
|
| porcupinetheater Jesper I just want to say wow you have the absolute perfect Emma Ruth Rundle rates, big big ups
|
| Atari That album made my week.. cheers! The closer is exceptional and Earth Dog Year is an ear worm
|
| SlothcoreSam The new Signals Midwest album is fantastic, it's out tomorrow, I think you will love it.
|
| Atari ooh, sold! thx for the heads up :]
|
| cold icymi: since I missed out on this last year...https://graveface.bandcamp.com/album/burn
|
| SlothcoreSam Yeah it had some awesome tracks, but also some forgettable ones. March was a great month
|
| SlothcoreSam The back end of Peregrine is awesome. And there is more.... This week we have a new album by Proper. The Great American Novel. Don't sleep on this one!
|
| cold Yeah, I checked that out and not too shabby. Peep some local boys:https://dazysound.bandcamp.com/album/maximumblastsuperloud-the-first-24-songs
|
| Pikazilla Yeah, really enjoyed that one! Would you recommend the debut?
|
| Pikazilla Grats on the promotion, very well deserved!
|
| dedex despite sputnik sputnikin' I still got the message, thx u lovely love
|
| dedex babe nobody deserves this more than you, mega congrats!
|
| Sunnyvale Haha, just gave it a first spin. It's quite good (maybe even a 4.1 ...), looking forward to your review.
|
| Sunnyvale Congrats Jesper! Proud to move up in the same class... Also saw you already flexing your staff muscles with that Widowspeak 4.1, m/m/m/
|
| fogza congrats on ascending jesperrrrrrr!
|
 | Gnocchi Go to the forum. Get more scared
|
 | Kompys2000 Whattup staffbro! Hyped to be on the team with ya :D
|
| Gnocchi Oh boy. Oh hello smexy staffer
|
| SlothcoreSam You should check the debut album by Annie Jump Cannon - Flourishing Apart, it came out today, and is some juicy, female fronted, alt emo.
|
| Asura14 not sure if you've checked it but the new Softcult seems right up your alley
|
| Sowing the new deserta rules and i think you'd agree
|
 | normaloctagon bless. interesting blend of styles, didnt ultimately work that well for my ears but enjoyed the listen and appreciate you thinking of me. omamy was prob my fave track
|
| normaloctagon u gotta link for me beeb? not finding it on yt music or bandcamp (assuming its a 2022 release)
|
