all of their attempts to expand their sound feel really empty bc there's nothing in the songwriting to back it up

This is really good - this might sound weird but it sounds to me like a less dramatic / appealingly lower-stakes nu-Brand New album (and without the baggage)
― Simon H., Wednesday, 4 April 2018 13:53 (six years ago) link
not weird at all, dude's voice is def in that j*sse l*cey region
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Wednesday, 4 April 2018 15:45 (six years ago) link
someone on a different message board pointed this out but they sound less like brand new than they do other bands that have been relentlessly compared to brand new (crime in stereo, "colored out" reminds me of driver friendly)

I feel a bit bad for dissing the Wonder Years album in the way I did since I read the p4k review (which highlighted some of the inspirations behind the record) but oh well
If anyone's had a screamo itch recently, you could do a hell of a lot worse than the Storm{O}'s Ere.

I appreciate that the nostalgia cycle moves so fast that I'm in my 30s and young bands sound like the all ages matinees I would have gone to see late in high school.

feels like meg myers has been trying to figure her lane out for years, still not sure where she fits but that's probably a good thing. fiona apple is usually the closest i can pin to her.

New Carb On Carb album for ages is great midwest-emo-revival plus NZ convergent evolution w/Camp Cope etc. "Mitimiti" is a great closer, and the two singles "It's Been A Rough Year" & "Nicole's Express" are highlights:

Oh that's weird, last time I was at my parents' house I took back The Satellite Years CD that I bought when I was young because I couldn't remember what the hell it was. It holds up quite well I think despite the post-rock and 'core elements jarring a bit at times.
Neither of those new songs do much for me but it's nice they're still around!

New interview/feature in Stereogum makes it sound like quite something.
While the title track and “Bastardizer” are laser-lit, howl-and-point anthems that could conceivably elevate them to the status of alt-emo festival staples like Manchester Orchestra, Circa Survive, and pre-downfall Brand New — all of whom they’ve opened for — there’s not much contemporary comparison to the nine-minute ambient odyssey “Five Cups” or the IDM-goes-post-hardcore frenzy of “Gameshark” or “Heartbeats” merging swirling house rhythms with atmospheric post-rock guitars.
― Simon H., Tuesday, 19 June 2018 18:04 (five years ago) link
pre-downfall Brand New
certainly a way to put this
psyched for the record though, it is getting majorly hyped
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 June 2018 18:08 (five years ago) link
though usually the records that ian really enthusiastically hypes i end up being pretty cool on (ex. harmlessness, goodness, surprised the foxing record doesn't end in "ness")
