Sacred Paws - Strike A Match

Just discovered this album/band via the summer jam 2017 thread.
I'm not too familiar with the album yet and it may seem a bit repetitive/limited in its variety but so far I like it a lot.
My favourite track atm is "everyday".
They make me think of a mix between the Go-Go's and early Vampire Weekend.

This won the SAY Award tonight, as I had a feeling it would. Maybe not the album on the list that means the most to me but I'm still playing this frequently, just great upbeat pop for anyone who DOESN'T HATE FUN. Well deserved winner really, I was just rooting for Meursault for personal reasons.

Well, the Meursault is a much, much better album! I like Sacred Paws singles and their whole thing really but the album's a bit of a grind because it's kinda samey.

now on merge

As expected, dope.

shit. that is great.

wow they're getting even better

discovered this band a few weeks ago by listening to forks's spotify playlist of the 2017 Top 77. thanks y'all, this shit is RIGHT up my alley, loopy and propulsive and maximally head-sticky. stoked that there's more new stuff coming.

very good band

Still crazy to me that Mac from Superchunks weird little label is such a powerhouse now

Fantastic track

LOVE this

this band is so good

album Run Around The Sun is out May 31

the album is really good and probably a step up from the debut

Thanks for reminding me, I still need to listen to this one.

This new record is fantastic.

Never heard of them until now, but liking this album...

Final track ("Other Side") is particularly excellent

Never put this together but makes total sense

@deerhoof expanding my heart and mind as usual 💘💘💘

one of Rachel's other bands - Trash Kit - supported Deerhoof in London last night (not that I went, not in London)

Saturday December 3–Rachel Aggs on a zine panel @ MLK Library in Washington DC w/ Shotgun Seamstress and more @ 1 pm ; & on a bill @ Comet after 10 pm

Have only listened to handfuls of Aggs solo stuff that's on Bandcamp

Does her other group Shopping still exist?

Haven't heard anything about them breaking up, but also not heard anything about new stuff in the pipeline. All of the members have lots of projects so I guess we have to wait and see when this particular formation comes back together. Shopping are my faves of the bunch, so I hope they do have something coming soon.
