I have listened to "Slapstick" way too often for the Foxing album to be two godddamn months away
― Simon H., Tuesday, 26 June 2018 17:13 (six years ago) link
it's an incredible song
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Tuesday, 26 June 2018 17:40 (six years ago) link
the new Mom Jeans songs are really fun, and they're touring w/ awakebutstillinbed so I might have to go see that
― Simon H., Thursday, 28 June 2018 18:38 (six years ago) link
simon have you checked out that restorations song. idk why i think you'd like it but
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 June 2018 18:40 (six years ago) link
I did! I like it!
― Simon H., Thursday, 28 June 2018 18:42 (six years ago) link
hell yeah
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 June 2018 18:45 (six years ago) link
They must have multiple vocalists? The guy on "Wales" is a dead ringer for Bry Webb.
― Simon H., Thursday, 28 June 2018 18:48 (six years ago) link
i think it's all the one dude
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 June 2018 18:51 (six years ago) link
but then i've only just gotten into this band with the new record lol
yeah it's the same guy! he has a bizarre range; there are moments on the new record where he sounds like matt berninger and gord downie combined
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 June 2018 18:54 (six years ago) link
super weird, also made me realize I really miss the constantines
― Simon H., Thursday, 28 June 2018 18:55 (six years ago) link
also checking out the Just Friends album since they're on the Mom Jeans/awake... show and WHAT IS THIS
― Simon H., Thursday, 28 June 2018 19:40 (six years ago) link
like, Jeff Rosenstock meets the Go! Team with the occasional dash of pop and soul? and rapping?
― Simon H., Thursday, 28 June 2018 20:02 (six years ago) link
made me realize I really miss the constantines
otm
For anyone interested, this excellent live Restorations set features most of their best older tunes plus provides a great view of their instrumentation (incl. one main vocalist, two backing, & drummer making drummer faces).

despite really liking the band I've never been able to shake the view that they basically come off like a bunch of dads who bought cool equipment with money from their day jobs and somehow made v good grownup dad-indie rock
― I want to change my display name (dan m), Thursday, 28 June 2018 20:34 (six years ago) link
sounds about right tbh
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 June 2018 20:37 (six years ago) link
i wish i had known about lp3 when it came out, would've been totally obsessed with it
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 June 2018 22:14 (six years ago) link
at least i'm totally obsessed with it now
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Friday, 29 June 2018 00:22 (six years ago) link
lol @ the title of their new album
― Simon H., Friday, 29 June 2018 00:29 (six years ago) link
here's some good straight up rolling emo: the new album by charmer https://charmermusic.bandcamp.com/album/charmer

though it largely just makes me wish that look mexico would make another album tbh
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Saturday, 30 June 2018 12:20 (six years ago) link
is this supposed to be ... bad?
― alpine static, Saturday, 30 June 2018 15:48 (six years ago) link
Lol no just an observation
― I want to change my display name (dan m), Saturday, 30 June 2018 17:03 (six years ago) link
this foxing song sounds nothing like brand new to me, but it's pretty solid
― k3vin k., Saturday, 30 June 2018 17:32 (six years ago) link
Speaking of Weakerthans, did anyone hear the solo record from John? I think the weakerthans disbanded awhile back
― Jang Mo Jib (Ross), Saturday, 30 June 2018 22:38 (six years ago) link
winter wheat? it's great
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Saturday, 30 June 2018 22:38 (six years ago) link
Winter Wheat is wonderful. Samson is a terrific lyricist.
Digging that Charmer record. Good looking out. Really does scratch a very specific itch.
― husked, tonal wails (irrational), Tuesday, 3 July 2018 15:31 (six years ago) link
john's put out TWO solo records guys!
― sean gramophone, Wednesday, 4 July 2018 14:23 (six years ago) link
the first one is less good than winter wheat iirc
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Wednesday, 4 July 2018 14:42 (six years ago) link
maaaybe less emo than before (hence why I bumped the indiepop thread initially) but the new Trust Fund is so good https://trustfund.bandcamp.com
― imago, Thursday, 5 July 2018 11:02 (six years ago) link
the new Mom Jeans throws in just enough fun surprises (guitar heroics, horns, multipart songs) to distinguish itself
― Simon H., Friday, 6 July 2018 12:33 (six years ago) link
The first John K Samson album has The Last And, a Virtute-level hearttugger, inspired by The Simpsons' Krabappel/Skinner romance. Stylus has an article about some of that album's song origins. A favorite lyricist, love his small details and viewpoints.

btw "the last and" is an AMAZING jks song and i should spend more time with provincial, thank you scampering alpaca
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 9 July 2018 20:18 (six years ago) link
still can't get past the Thrice guy's Grohly vox tbh
― Simon H., Monday, 9 July 2018 21:58 (six years ago) link
some cool riffs tho
his vocals don't read as grohly to me but i sorta get what you mean anyway
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 9 July 2018 22:18 (six years ago) link
I lost track of Thrice once they took their proggy turn. I should revisit some of that stuff. I feel more open to that kind of thing than I was when it came out initially.
― husked, tonal wails (irrational), Tuesday, 10 July 2018 14:34 (six years ago) link
does that mean you haven't heard vheissu or beggars? bc those are their best. (beggars is kind of a "have our cake and eat it too" recession from prog while the songs get deeper and darker still)
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Tuesday, 10 July 2018 14:44 (six years ago) link
my fav thrice song

apparently a song on the new thrice features guest vocals by emma ruth rundle :O
