I get Lithics and Dry Cleaning confused sometimes. (Love em both)

They're very close to the only rock act I can imagine voting for in a 2021 poll. (Admittedly, I haven't searched particularly vigorously for other contenders.) Some days "Viking Hair", from a couple of years ago, is clearly the best thing I've ever heard lol.I feared early on that I was merely desperate for a Life Without Buildings substitute but they're pretty durable and the comparison now feels kinda regrettable.

"Scratchcard Lanyard" was first released, ahead of the album, in November 2020, but it seems to have grown in popularity over the past few months. I've been obsessed with it over the holiday period, and I nommed it for the EOY tracks poll.

“Her Hippo” made my year-end playlist, but the couple of times I listened to the whole album I wasn’t sure I needed more than the one song. Maybe I’ll try again.

The album is pretty good, a grower. I found the preceding two EPs more immediately appealing especially “Sweet Princess”.

My brain started mashing up "Scratchcard Lanyard" and Sleater-Kinney's "Get Up" the other day and it was a lightbulb moment of why Dry Cleaning and Lithics are so appealing to me.

Nice! Good for 3 consecutive plays, even. (Brevity obviously helps on that front.)

file under 'fantastic verses, godawful chorus', what the hell is that banking-advert whistle doing here

i mean thankfully 75% of the song is fantastic but that was A Decision wasn't it

"Anna" is good, I think, after a few listens. It's apparently the LP opener, which seems a bold move, unless perhaps it's quite representative of nu-DC.
I like how their visuals keep oscillating between "seemingly near-random footage" and "discernible production budget" lol.
