no_better Posted January 22 Posted January 22 04.04.25 First single, Besties, out January 30th Spoiler 2
Dera Posted January 22 Posted January 22 wait the cover art is cute and memorable I haven't been following BCNR closely, but the single title makes me think of "Friends Forever". I wonder if the song will have that same kind of jovial, simple energy

The New Sound was amazing. that's black midi, this the other 'black x indie brits'! i don't really know what to make of geordie greep tbh, he's one of those people where he's clearly doing something interesting, i have found myself sort of admiring holy holy even if i don't actually want to listen to it much lol 1
IMadeYouReadThis Posted January 22 Posted January 22 I liked BCNR1, really LOVED BCNR2 and was impressed with their sound post the lead singer's departure. I'm excited for this. Is this the confirmed title for the album?

BCNR 1.0 was incredible. The fact that we'll never see songs like 'The place where he inserted the blade' performed live is a crime . I saw BCNR 2.0 at Primavera Sound and was honestly bored (although Georgia was not there)

Georgia has got more songwriting duties with BCNR now though, which could mean she has less time to write for Jockstrap
no_better Posted January 30 Author Posted January 30 What a BAWP I adore the sound, adore the vibes, everything is delicious. The new bcnr is for the girls and the gays and not many rym users will understand that but that is fine with me 1
no_better Posted January 30 Author Posted January 30 Snatched this funky looking blue variant of the LP from rough trade I am excited for the UK tour but I still don't know which uni I will get into for my PhD so I might need to buy tickets for a lot of different cities just in case.......
Lazuli Posted January 30 Posted January 30 song is cute ants from up there is lowkey AOTD but i don't think their material will ever hit quite as close

It will be worth giving the new bcnr iteration time and space to figure themselves out, but I am already incredibly excited about what they have going on. I love Georgia Ellery's work with Jockstrap and Besties feels like a bit of that but with BCNR production. I am excited for them to tap into these Joanna Newsom/Fiona Apple vibes
Chemist Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Nice song. The way current BCNR is sonically completely different than the OG tho
moonllum Posted yesterday at 04:45 AM Posted yesterday at 04:45 AM It's their first album after the departure of lead vocalist Isaac Wood, with vocal and principal songwriting duties being take nover by members Tyler Hyde, Georgia Ellery and May Kershaw. Another great album by them, it's going to be on repeat. I love the juxtaposition of having female vocals now, it reminds me of Fleetwood Mac history. ALBUM 2
coney island Posted yesterday at 04:51 AM Posted yesterday at 04:51 AM Rushing to listen immediately! 1
JoeAg Posted yesterday at 08:34 AM Posted yesterday at 08:34 AM giving this a first listen rn! my first first listen of the night I did not like their last album at ALL, but the prerelease singles for this one got me on board and I'm on Socks and loving it so far!
JoeAg Posted yesterday at 09:24 AM Posted yesterday at 09:24 AM okay yeah this is brilliant it's such a sunny and beautiful album, the cover art is so perfect for the overall sound of the record! a perfect encapsulation! this is what Arcade Fire would sound like if they made Funeral in 2025 I think, and I mean that in the best way I do think that Happy Birthday remains my fav song on the album BUT! Socks and For the Cold Country are both incredible as well 1
