made me realize I really miss the constantines
otm
For anyone interested, this excellent live Restorations set features most of their best older tunes plus provides a great view of their instrumentation (incl. one main vocalist, two backing, & drummer making drummer faces).

despite really liking the band I've never been able to shake the view that they basically come off like a bunch of dads who bought cool equipment with money from their day jobs and somehow made v good grownup dad-indie rock

sounds about right tbh

i wish i had known about lp3 when it came out, would've been totally obsessed with it
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 June 2018 22:14 (five years ago) link
at least i'm totally obsessed with it now

is this supposed to be ... bad?

this foxing song sounds nothing like brand new to me, but it's pretty solid

Speaking of Weakerthans, did anyone hear the solo record from John? I think the weakerthans disbanded awhile back
― Jang Mo Jib (Ross), Saturday, 30 June 2018 22:38 (five years ago) link
winter wheat? it's great
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Saturday, 30 June 2018 22:38 (five years ago) link
Winter Wheat is wonderful. Samson is a terrific lyricist.
Digging that Charmer record. Good looking out. Really does scratch a very specific itch.

john's put out TWO solo records guys!
― sean gramophone, Wednesday, 4 July 2018 14:23 (five years ago) link
the first one is less good than winter wheat iirc
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Wednesday, 4 July 2018 14:42 (five years ago) link
maaaybe less emo than before (hence why I bumped the indiepop thread initially) but the new Trust Fund is so good https://trustfund.bandcamp.com
― imago, Thursday, 5 July 2018 11:02 (five years ago) link
the new Mom Jeans throws in just enough fun surprises (guitar heroics, horns, multipart songs) to distinguish itself
― Simon H., Friday, 6 July 2018 12:33 (five years ago) link
The first John K Samson album has The Last And, a Virtute-level hearttugger, inspired by The Simpsons' Krabappel/Skinner romance. Stylus has an article about some of that album's song origins. A favorite lyricist, love his small details and viewpoints.

btw "the last and" is an AMAZING jks song and i should spend more time with provincial, thank you scampering alpaca
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 9 July 2018 20:18 (five years ago) link
still can't get past the Thrice guy's Grohly vox tbh
― Simon H., Monday, 9 July 2018 21:58 (five years ago) link
some cool riffs tho
his vocals don't read as grohly to me but i sorta get what you mean anyway
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 9 July 2018 22:18 (five years ago) link
I lost track of Thrice once they took their proggy turn. I should revisit some of that stuff. I feel more open to that kind of thing than I was when it came out initially.
― husked, tonal wails (irrational), Tuesday, 10 July 2018 14:34 (five years ago) link
does that mean you haven't heard vheissu or beggars? bc those are their best. (beggars is kind of a "have our cake and eat it too" recession from prog while the songs get deeper and darker still)
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Tuesday, 10 July 2018 14:44 (five years ago) link
my fav thrice song

recommended if you miss the starting line a lot
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Tuesday, 10 July 2018 20:28 (five years ago) link
made that joke without realizing the starting line reunited
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Tuesday, 10 July 2018 20:30 (five years ago) link
I listened to vheissu and didn't like it at the time but could probably revisit. I was a really big The Artist and The Ambulance guy. A listened to the one after Vheissu and small bits and pieces after that. You very rarely steer me wrong Brad, so I'll give em all another chance.

Beggars was good, Brad posted the best song for suure.

Do we include things like the new Ostraca record in this thread. Emoviolence is still emo, right? And this is probably their most trad emo so far maybe.

vox on the Joyce Manor single are a little sleepy but otherwise sounds great. "You're an asshole from a bar on a break in a break room, and you've never happy..."

the second Foxing single is fucking great, hearing all five versions in a row was a delight
