Y'all remember the playlist with the songs that almost made my song list? "Mary" was originally there but GOD, it slayed me like nothing I can think of in such short span of time :jonny5: 'Capacity's' centerpiece is a bittersweet ballad filled with melancholy, with an unusually long, but extremely satisfying chorus. Whew!

A stunning progressive sing that is also a nod to "Running Up That Hill". Kate Bush found...comfortably sitting by a fireplace while listening to this and drinking hot chocolate, y'all THOUGHT.

What can I say, Sheer Mag have mastered their crafts and came up with a perfect rock song :alexz:

Hundred Waters have always been pretty lowkey. "Wave to Anchor" proves that they can get out of their comfort zone and in fact can only gain from taking risks. This atypical banger shines like nothing they've done before :katie2:

Equally personal and political, 'Nothing Feels Natural' is only a reminder that the DIY scene is alive and well.

Yet again I didn't plan to have the same rtist twice in the same update but w/e. I loved Sheer Mag ever since the EP days and I'm still convinced they haven't released a bad song. With their proper debut album (s/o to last year's awesome 'Compilation LP') you can see how they've already evolved. They've sort of gotten rid of the distorted effect to expose Tina's powerful vocals but also kept all the things that made them so unique and made me love them so much in the first place.

Never was big into Alex G but he caught my attention with the pre-release singles, which were diverse to say the least. There was a rewarding, folky "Witch," "Bobby," a slow alt-country jam, an exceptional straightforward anthem called "Proud," a beautiful autotuned mess that was "Sportstar" and the best Death Grips track since 2013, "Brick". They represented 'Rocket' perfectly - as something that is simultaneously all over the place (there's also a song that samples a barking dog and another that sounds like a lost 'Wowee Zowee'-era Pavement track) AND is strikingly simple.

Interesting PG pick, don't remember it!

Wave to Anchor amazes me, although it's really only a slight change from their comfort zone love the way the synths sound like the wavy ocean.

Wreath is everything :clap3: Duet of the year? Probably.

 

Edit: Just noticed I mixed up Wreath and Sides fjahfa. Wreath is a nice solo song!

 

Priests got a few listens from me. A very nice album they released.

I keep meaning to listen to Perfume Genius' album. He has a nice voice and an interesting style.

Perfume Genius had better sis. Like for example "Slip Away" but u do you, sis! cute sing.

Only familiar with Wreath and Nothing Feels Natural which are good!

Wreath is a bop - idkher.gif for the others.

Wreath is cute but not one of my favourites from the album tbh! 

Posted

DRAG A-no-hni's Obama! I love M.A.H (but hate that it's abbreviated like that now lol). 

 

Great & underrated Perfume Genius pick!

Posted

What a perfect time to tune in :jonny: I love the choices here. 

 

I loved the Sheer Mag album and this is the year I really started getting into Alex G.

I love Alex G. Odd choice for Perfume Genius but still a good song.

Big or slight change, they really should just go for it and expand their sound :chick1:

Mess :dies: Sides was great, too, although Braid is the superior Weyes Blood collab imo.

Finally some acclaim for Wreath :alexz:

Wave to Anchor is my pick, what a BOP! Unless you wanna check out one of the albums, then idk, maybe Rocket? It's pretty diverse, as I mention :gaycat3:

The thing with No Shape was that there were not many obvious standouts there, like there was nothing Queen-like or Hood-like, you know what I mean?

I feel like ANOBODI was reaching for something different with Obama, but I still love it

As for FKA Mad as Hell, this bitch really tried iT :fish2: Maybe I wouldn't have been so mad (as hell) if I hadn't scrobbled it so many times
