Brockhampton had some bops here and there, they fell off hard tho :mandown:

Slowdive was actually great, I had to listen to it for an atrl rate :jamming: Sugar For The Pill >>>

21 has nice singles and I find Honey overrated but that also has a few nice songs :-*

Currents kinda packed with classics :clap3: great album overall

On another note, Beyonce and Aphrodite are amazing albums! :celestial4:

Currents + Pageant Material :eddie: Honey was cute but underwhelming for me [2], there's maybe 3 tracks that don't really do it for me & since there's only 9 overall, that makes quite an impact. 21 is amazing, of course :clap3: The Search for Everything :smitten: My favorite album from him, definitely ready for whatever's coming next.

A truly compelling collection of balads.

I tried to get into Real Estate so many times because people say they sound like The War On Drugs, but they never clicked for me.

Mac Demarco, Vampire Weekend and Two Door Cinema Club :flame:

Posted

that gingerlys album was good! im being reminded of random albums i listened to a couple times and forgot about eventually :dies:

 

contra and alvvays classics ofc :heart:

Posted

omg, I remember when Contra went #1 on BB200 I didn't even know about VW existence :rip: it was so surprising 

Posted

A lot of these artists in the recent batch reminds me of my 2013 phase where I was getting into indie music. 

Posted

That Camera Obscura album is good! Scottish legends.

 

Contra is a great album too. Their 2013 album is still GOAT for me, so :eyesemoji: if that appears

Posted

Contra, She & Him :clap3:

Posted

I see She&Him and Two Door Cinema Club. <3 Love them and their album :)

Posted

contra :alexz: i somehow forgot that it was last decade

the mac album is cute

contra and this old dog are the only ones i know, but i'm not a huge fan of them :thing:

Beach2k20 is my favorite track.

bop!

Contra and Tourist History WHEW we stan :jonny5:

I heard that Perfume song from Jens Lekman's album (I always mess up the title lol) and I liked it!

Posted

Well I've heard of Vampire Weekend but never listened to that album :keir: the last album was a big fad from what I remember :fan:

massive bop ahhh :WAP: TLIKTB almost at 700m streams as well :eek:

I was so obsessed with 21 after it's release, I can't listen to it anymore because most of the songs got overplayed on the radio but it's still incredibly good!

I really love Honey as well, but it took me some time to fully appreciate it! :heart2:

Contra :jonny5: It's such a shame that I just can't get into their latest album.

I honestly couldn't either. Contra remains undisputably my favorite VW record.

I hope you can check it out. It's not as long as their latest LP. TLIKTB was so overplayed in my country!

Jens Lekman was a nice discovery early that year.

Considering it was released in January it's understandable! Back on its day, I gave This Old Dog a rating of 90. Let's say that it did not age well. There's another Mac album that did, though.

Mine started in 2012. That was when I started paying more attention to LPs instead of singles. Wild Nothing, Real Estate and DIIV became my dreampop/indie pop trinity a year after.

Lots of great tracks I listen to again from time to him. I hope they release new material anytime soon. That Alvvays album was probably one of the most iconic indie pop albums of the 10s.

Such a pity. Their first three albums were amazing. I haven't been a fan of their 2 latest, though.

i think the vampire weekend choice is the correct one.  mvotc did not age as well and its just a fact we all have to come to terms with, aside from diane young at least.

 

i DO think the alvvays choice was incorrect though.  their sophomore improved on what they did in the debut.
