Finally listening to Pennsylvania. Finally got the courage to listen. (I sometimes am scared to hear earlier things by bands in a case like this where I have fallen hard for a recent recording.) It's okay so far. Definitely not nearly as much of a standout as Nothing Valley.

Elk Mountain and Piss Wizard are more like it. The drumming is really there in Piss Wizard.

I feel like a lot more people on ILM need to hear this because it's something they would like, but I'm not sure who those people are.

At some point in the past few weeks, someone made an imprecise comparison between Wolf Alice and Throwing Muses. I'm going to have to track that post down and send that person to this thread. I spent the first few songs of Nothing Valley trying to imagine what I would change about them to turn into 50 Foot Wave songs. Eventually I was able to appreciate it as its own thing though. Great record!

Great year for rock music. Snail mail, Madeline Kenney, wolf Alice and this one! Others of course I'm neglecting to mention

Some Cawthra lore, in case you've missed it: they blew out the electricity while they were recording that song, which is why it ends abruptly. Her laugh at the end makes a lot more sense once you know that. (Find an interview for an accurate non-paraphrased account.)

I think people don't appreciate this album because of how smoothly it goes down. It's smooth noise punk.

new one seems good - the songs are always melodically interesting and inventive and after watching a few vids starting to get through that the deadpan sort of flavour in the lyrics - def the new Breeders we need rn
