rolling emo/pop-punk/dogs on skateboards 2017

sorta hoping they straight up migrate to jazz rock next album. "curiosity" comes close

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.

i just noticed that p4k gave it a BNM

the new julien baker comes out soon too apparently? what a year.

New Iron Chic yall

not bad but I'm still annoyed we get them instead of RVIVR as the local Propagandhi opener

i love the sorority noise album

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

ha, this is immediately charming

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!!

i prolly should have just posted about this itt instead of making a thread

soccer mommy - collection

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.

"Play the Field" is an amazing song.

otm

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).

Partner are so cool. My only complaint is that Lucy needs to have more lead vocals. Josée is fantastic though.

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

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

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

New TWIABP record is my favorite thing they’ve done yet. Now concise than the last one but lots of knockouts

https://theworldis.bandcamp.com/album/always-foreign

one listen to that confirmed i’ll never really love the world is

Last album was better. This one didn't grab me.

the Nervous Dater album is sounding pretty fun on first listen

^^^ diggin' the title track

i’d like to upgrade my opinion of the new circa survive. i LOVE it

oh i guess upthread i said it was maybe their best. yep

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.

dang, good lineup!

going to check the hell out of this record

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/

great art

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

yuuuup

the caracara record is still in regular rotation, that thing is the real deal

also agreed with archcarrier that the racquet club record is basically a continuation of the jealous sound and it fucking rules. "blood on the moon" is such a great song, he has such a strange and individual ear for hooks

I like that Cara Cara record a lot!

oh my god this oliver houston album just knocked me on my ass

It only took me eight months to notice this album, thank you discover weekly

legit lol-ed at the Sharon Van Etten in-joke Oliver Houston end that record with. Sounds like they've got quite a few of those geeky allusions scattered throughout the record but that one especially has gotta confound the shit out of anybody who doesn't get the reference.

With the news (to me) that Jeremy Enigk is releasing a new album this month.

fuck the Partner album is so addictive, more power-pop than emo but so fun. and funny! I wish more albums were funny!

jeremy enigk is releasing a new album this month?!?!?!?!??!?!? aaa!!!!!!

wait it came out last week?!?!?!!

brb

i always get overwhelmed by how beautiful his albums are. production is usually perfect too

That oliver Houston album is great. Loving the new Front Bottoms, Iron Chic and Worriers records.

man how did jeremy enigk release his best ever solo album in 2017

it's so beautiful

the racquet club record has been playing over and over in my head for the past month
