| SomeCallMeTim agreed, kind of wild that they haven't been back for a while. a place like portland for example would be a hotspot for ween fans
|
| WatchItExplode Forgot to tell you that was really good. I definitely see the squid comparisons in my favorites were basically the ones you outlined.
|
| WatchItExplode Hey fuzzy, I'm with you (see my sounoff). I think they tempered their experimentation a bit to better fit within their rock band format. Unfortunately it's a little less dynamic and exciting overall. Nothing here. Approaches the creativity and accessibility of narrator and certainly nothing has rocking as the cleaner. I'd say it is a three to 3.5 but I'm letting it settle a bit.
|
| WatchItExplode Score might be inflated a bit, but It's irreverent and tickled me quite a bit. Me quite a bit
|
| WatchItExplode If Avant pop from the '70s that gets a five for me it seems interesting I would say yes.
|
| WatchItExplode Yes, when it hits right that sound is just superb. Unfortunately I think it will be just a one-off. The singer is great. He's an established singer songwriter named Andy Shauf. Haven't found anything else he's done I enjoy as much as this though.
|
| WatchItExplode 3-4 Good tunes. Quite disappointing overall. Check that Foxwarren album.
|
| WatchItExplode I grew up in a small, dying mining town in Montana. There are just some universal truths people from small town America share.
|
| WatchItExplode Right on. Origami Angel just nail their sound. It may not be the deepest music, but when you are in the mood nobody does it better. Don't know where you're from, but the field recordings on Pressure Machine are uber relatable for me. That and the guitar solos are all I need to love it.
|
| WatchItExplode Yeah I checked landmark too. It had some interesting bits but nothing even coming close to the catchiness of that new single.
|
| WatchItExplode While I am on a roll hippo campus - bad dream baby is the catchiest single I've heard in about a thousand years. I even created a news article but nobody checked :-(
|
| WatchItExplode Yeah, I have a few of her songs liked. Good rec though. That James super cave album is probably worth a listen to although I'm not sure it's as much your style.
|
| WatchItExplode I really liked we are all going home in an ambulance too... Not on the black eyes level at all though lol
|
| ArsMoriendi I notice that you like Ween. Have you heard Ween's collab with Boredoms Z-Rock Hawaii? https://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/Z-Rock-Hawaii/68596/
|
| WatchItExplode Listen to River and storm from s/t again. If those don't click cut your losses. Plenty more out there for us to explore.
|
| WatchItExplode Young Jesus is another excellent alt band that released an album this year. I'd head straight to the 2017 self titled though.
|
| WatchItExplode Its on my list. I like king gizzard, but yo varying degrees since they are so diverse. Very high on my list to see live.
|
| WatchItExplode Thats why you got a double post...like incorporate some of that on occasion please.
|
| WatchItExplode Wow, sorry but the Happy Together cover is even better. WOW
|
| WatchItExplode Did you hear that cover of Baby one more time by the way? I know it's dumb but I'm kind of obsessed with it at the moment. The pact continues to grow also.
|
| WatchItExplode They are both in the vein of alternative I love. This doesn't carry the weight of GG but is still awesome.
|
| WatchItExplode Yeah, all of them have moments, but that newest one is a refinement of the sound I prefer overall
|
| WatchItExplode Car seat is great and I will give empty country another shot. A just kind of washed over me 1st listen. PP grew hard.
|
| WatchItExplode So is Unwound. We have enough overlap that we should just keep sharing as it seems appropriate. Cheers!
|
| WatchItExplode I had not listened to it (despite being vaguely aware of it) but I have now. It's been added to my collection for future listens. In another semi-related, tangential rec, try out Pinback - This Is A Pinback CD if you haven't previously.
