If you took the 5 or 6 best songs from this year's and last year's Dear Hunter albums you'd have a fine proggy pop-emo album, alas restraint and concision are categorically not This Guy's Thing. Anyway, the new one has a better hit:miss ratio than last year's due to having fewer corny vaudevillian story-advancing numbers

Terry Malts rules so hard.
I'd not heard Kevin Devine before this new one, but it's great.
Thanks for the Rosenstock d/l link up there. We Cool? ended up in my Top 10 of '16. Excited to hear the new one.
OK, this has been my Rolling Emo Thread roundup.

never listened to that band before but they're singlehandedly responsible for all the delightful garbage australians who attended fest this year and drank shots out of their shoes

has anyone seen Appleseed Cast live recently? I want to see them but they're opening for Caspian (who seem like pleasantly average post-rock) and I'm not sure if it's worth only catching them in an opening slot.
