Misery is like the most emo song ever
I may or may not have listened to it a dozen times during my commutes about town today

Not sure if Citizen ever got any love here, but I really enjoy their last album. New single is solid

The People Like You record is recommended for those who like their indie-emo on the jazzy/mathy side

i mean this record is only faintly emo (mostly it's a real chunky, oceanic rock record) but i love rainer maria and i think this is one of the best things they've ever released
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Friday, 11 August 2017 17:38 (six years ago) link
love the rainer maria record. also having seen them twice in the last couple years i think they are as good/better as they've ever been live
― adam, Wednesday, 23 August 2017 14:26 (six years ago) link
yeah they freakin' rock live

Dig the single.

new turnover is: 1. excellent 2. balearic rock
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Friday, 25 August 2017 17:30 (six years ago) link
I couldn't get into it on first listen, it's SO chill, but I'll keep trying
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 25 August 2017 17:33 (six years ago) link
emo & balearic??? my 2 favorite genres!
― Mordy, Friday, 25 August 2017 17:39 (six years ago) link
sorta hoping they straight up migrate to jazz rock next album. "curiosity" comes close
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Friday, 25 August 2017 17:43 (six years ago) link
Brand New is now RateYourMusic's #1 album of 2017. Not that it means anything, but it was a nice suprise after seeing Kendrick up there for most of the year.
― ArchCarrier, Saturday, 26 August 2017 19:17 (six years ago) link
i just noticed that p4k gave it a BNM
― Mordy, Saturday, 26 August 2017 19:19 (six years ago) link
the new julien baker comes out soon too apparently? what a year.

not bad but I'm still annoyed we get them instead of RVIVR as the local Propagandhi opener
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 8 September 2017 19:08 (six years ago) link
i love the sorority noise album
― flopson, Monday, 11 September 2017 03:20 (six years ago) link
is there a rolling thread where i should talk about the partner album? it's brilliant. it's not emo but i think y'all will love it
https://partnerband.bandcamp.com/album/in-search-of-lost-time
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Friday, 22 September 2017 15:59 (six years ago) link
ha, this is immediately charming
― jmm, Friday, 22 September 2017 16:12 (six years ago) link
also emo-adjacent: the Phoebe Bridgers album is out today. There's a late-Kozelek cover that actually works.

holy shit at the Prozzak joke on the Partner album!!
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 22 September 2017 17:32 (six years ago) link
i prolly should have just posted about this itt instead of making a thread
soccer mommy - collection
― flopson, Friday, 22 September 2017 17:33 (six years ago) link
Which song is the Prozzak joke on?
"Daytime TV" is basically me at 11-years-old when I faked sick so much they thought I had hypoglycemia.
― jmm, Friday, 22 September 2017 17:43 (six years ago) link
"Play the Field" is an amazing song.
― jmm, Saturday, 23 September 2017 14:17 (six years ago) link
otm
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Saturday, 23 September 2017 14:27 (six years ago) link
ah haha, I just listened on Spotify which has all the skits. I'm sure I still have a dusty copy of Hot Show in a stack of loose CDs (its natural home).
― jmm, Saturday, 23 September 2017 16:34 (six years ago) link
Partner are so cool. My only complaint is that Lucy needs to have more lead vocals. Josée is fantastic though.
― jmm, Saturday, 23 September 2017 17:35 (six years ago) link
I overlooked this year's Tim Kasher album (the soundtrack to a musical film he wrote/directed) but it's his best thing in a while
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Tuesday, 26 September 2017 14:29 (six years ago) link
new circa survive is their best in yeeaaars, maybe their best ever. having said that, i think to most it will sound like Another Circa Survive Record
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Wednesday, 27 September 2017 20:14 (six years ago) link
anybody in this thread love knapsack and the jealous sound? bc some of those dudes are in a new band called racquet club, and their new album came out today, and it’s pretty much exactly what you’d expect of a post-knapsack/jealous sound record, and i love it
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Friday, 29 September 2017 22:23 (six years ago) link
New TWIABP record is my favorite thing they’ve done yet. Now concise than the last one but lots of knockouts

― Evan R, Saturday, 30 September 2017 13:21 (six years ago) link
one listen to that confirmed i’ll never really love the world is
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Saturday, 30 September 2017 15:08 (six years ago) link
Last album was better. This one didn't grab me.
― husked, tonal wails (irrational), Saturday, 30 September 2017 17:26 (six years ago) link
the Nervous Dater album is sounding pretty fun on first listen

i’d like to upgrade my opinion of the new circa survive. i LOVE it
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 2 October 2017 19:25 (six years ago) link
oh i guess upthread i said it was maybe their best. yep
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 2 October 2017 19:27 (six years ago) link
foxing + tigers jaw opened for manchester orchestra last night. i liked foxing's set more than i've ever liked their recorded music. the man o show was great of course.
― Mordy, Monday, 2 October 2017 19:31 (six years ago) link

this is sorta out of nowhere but i'm really enjoying this odd and gorgeous emo record from a philly band named caracara https://caracaraphilly.bandcamp.com/
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 5 October 2017 19:07 (six years ago) link
great art
― Spottie, Thursday, 5 October 2017 19:08 (six years ago) link
actually yeah this album is really really awesome

i was already pretty into it and the sax solo on "oh brother" just knocked me out, wow
