Snail Mail

moved on, but nothing feels true
sometimes i hate her just for not being you

i know they get made fun of in the same breath bc of their band names but this album is having a very similar effect on me as the last soccer mommy

that's funny, I came here to say I've heard nothing but great things about the new album but that they're one of those bands I've avoided because of their name, like soccer mommy.

Soccer Mommy is a great name IMO

i love this album

I think I need to see how this one grows for me, lyrically I love this, and her voice is even more wonderful here, but it's a little more laidback than I'd hope. I like her voice with more fuzz and guitars.

pleasantly surprised by this now that i'm getting around to it, was not expecting those delightful sophisti-pop touches!

it's so good

actually what "forever (sailing)" really does remind me of is hikaru utada

"Glory" rules my world today. It goes to places I've been close to before but had not reached yet. I cannot stop listening to it again and again though I fear I am going to wear it out if I continue. She reminds me a little of Conor Oberst. She must have been 16 when she did "Static Buzz", that is pretty stunning.

I'm late to the party but I'm absolutely loving Valentine.

I've gone back to LJ's earlier work and it's not doing as much for me. Lush has some great tunes but seems pretty patchy. Worth another few listens as it may be a slow burner. Habit benefits from some lovely guitar work but the whiny slowcore emo vibes aren't doing it for me.
