feel like there's enough emo in the dna of this for this thread
south korean lo-fi shoegaze/emo, reminds me of diary and inlet among many other things

a similar sense of ambition facing off against lo-fi recording limitations to deathconsciousness except the drums don't sound like total shit

the really from album is so much more my speed than the young jesus, though i get the comparison
(young jesus was the album last year i felt myself forcing myself to like... maybe their next album will hit me, but the vocals ultimately ended up grating)
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 2 April 2021 16:20 (three years ago) link
I get that!
the opening run of tracks on the Really From album is really striking
― intern at pepe le pew research (Simon H.), Friday, 2 April 2021 16:24 (three years ago) link
this is the record they made in a laboratory just for me
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 2 April 2021 16:32 (three years ago) link
i ended up buying their previous record verse and it’s also fantastic

Brad's enthusiasm led me to check out Really From, which I should really love from the description, but I feel like it leans a little too far towards the jazz side of their sound than I'd prefer. It's not bad or anything, just doesn't strike the balance I'd prefer.

uh you may like their previous album, verse
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 9 April 2021 20:32 (three years ago) link
I'll check that one out next! Not disparaging it at all, just wasn't the proportions I was expecting I guess.

citizen's life in your glass world is sounding really really good to me today - the experimentation (aka "drum machines and vocal distortion some of the time") suits them and a few of the songs are seriously earwormy
― intern at pepe le pew research (Simon H.), Tuesday, 13 April 2021 15:20 (three years ago) link
"blue sunday" has a very pleasing chord progression

need to hear that citizen record
as well as the record k3v recommended upthread
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 13 April 2021 15:52 (three years ago) link
listened to the citizen a couple more times, I think what they're up to here is basically 75% ersatz revival of mid-aughts alt radio stuff(eg bloc party, franz, and especially early killers) with 25% modern emo signifiers - vocals sound quite a bit like manchester orchestra, occasional screaming, downcast lyrics. etc. what sets the best songs apart is the sheer shamelessness - "death dance approximately" in particular is so aggressively hooky that I sort of found it repellent at first!

lol forgot how brilliant "footloose cannonball brothers" is
i know i compared the album to johnny foreigner vs. everything upthread but it is also extremely is a real boy

very nice
I keep seeing the term "fifth wave emo", does it actually mean anything other than "new emo"
― intern at pepe le pew research (Simon H.), Friday, 16 April 2021 13:59 (three years ago) link
no

this band doesn't really fit this thread but i'm hard pressed to think of a better one, plus everyone here should be into it. whole album is very good. riyl: charly bliss, specific members of boygenius... idk, it's occurring in that spot. full disclosure i'm dating the person who signed this band lol
