Speedy Ortiz

man i can't stand this band anymore. the whole hotline thing was so embarrassing, what a cynical push for a floundering album cycle. sadie's got a solo album coming out in november, the lead single is about consent, christ...

wtf dude

this bird has flown

She should start a synth pop supergroup with Kristin Kontrol.

tt has alerted me to Sadie's new album (as Sad13) Slugger - it's great! she's gone predictably in a more electronic direction ('she's been at the Ableton') but the songwriting is really strong, maybe just as strong as on Foil Deer. do give it a listen, even as this year continues to provide album upon album of true wonder

the album by hellrazor (fronted by mike falcone, the drummer) is really great in a "meant to soundtrack skate-wipeout videos" way

love the hellrazor album, it's gross

whoa i was not expecting to like this but

New Speedy Ortiz single! https://www.npr.org/2018/02/21/586560145/songs-we-love-speedy-ortiz-lucky-88 Album out April 27. Sounds like they've toned things down a bit for this one, but I'm still excited.

album stream! https://www.npr.org/2018/04/19/602233938/first-listen-speedy-ortiz-twerp-verse

It's quite good.

(that's all I can say until next week lol)

A bit frontloaded maybe(?) but pretty solid, lots going on sonically

i underrated "lucky 88" when it came out, that song rules

the back half is strongest for me, actually

"You Hate the Title" is the most obvious single they've ever recorded.

i love "backslidin'" sooo much

yep

I'm Blessed is amazing

Opinion totally in character as it's basically a Speedy Ortiz mini-prog-suite

Whole album sounding great tbf

Only thing I'm not sure about is the new guitarist, but he seems pretty good. I did so like the last one though

is sad13 actually pronounced sad thirteen?

i think it's "sadie."

i hope so

so, actually, it's sad13, according to spotify

people shouldn't believe me all the time. i feel that ilx considers me an indisputable fount of wisdom and --i have to say -- that's only 95% true.

oh, we know

Sometimes I have opinions without having all the facts

lol, good find

i will say though, that is only sometimes. most of the time i have all the facts and more.

are you voting yes tho

in the faulknerian sense? like, do i believe in the survival of mankind?

evidently i cannot accurately gauge your emoness

probably for the best

i'm just drunk, dude

lol you think i'm not?

anyway literally every other ilxor would be shocked that you, like Peter, so casually disavow your savior

lol do ppl here really think i am a death cab for cutie fan--a teenager, preserved in amber, from 2001?

yes

that's cool i guess

there's a subset that wonders if you're cute (seriously), but if they dwelled too much on you, they'd just become misanthropes

New album sounding good. "Cry Cry Cry" is huge, one of their best.

Her voice is great but Rabbit Rabbit album songwriting seems musically formulaic to me .
