DasNeonLicht posted:she is opening for Caroline Polachek next year if that's of any interest to you it's funny being a fan of indie music without any real sense of how popular people are because you only find out when you go to look at ticket prices. Not a huge CP fan but I'd see her for sure, and if Ethel was opening Canadian dates (she isn't) I'd consider the ~100 dollar ticket prices. however I'm seeing Caroline Rose for like 20 bucks in an (admittedly famous) little tiny bar a few weeks earlier and drat, I would have guessed she was the popular one of the two.

exquisite tea posted:Is this the right thread to talk about Ethel Cain? Been listening to Preacher's Daughter for the past week and it's an amazing record. At once wistful, trashy, and dreamy. Like the Bruce Springsteen of panhandle Florida. btw why isn't the intro to the single on the album, first time I've ever seen a single being longer than the album version - and that intro would be one of my fave bits on the whole thing for sure.

Sturgill is insanely good and it's very sad he has decided to retire.

Dunno how I hadn't heard of Mindchatter before a girl next to me at a festival told me about him. Hot Chip esque vocals over sexy rear end electronic music. Has a kind of 2010s sensibility with modern production. He covers stuff like Young Folks and I Can Change so I think that's sort of the idea. Really really good poo poo. Great fuckin music also.

Waxahatchee are playing Massey Hall (fancier venue, concert hall rather than club type venue) so I'm hoping maybe there's like an expanded string section or something for the extra money.

Nilufer Yanya owns. Shameless is SUCH a good song that should have been around and super popular for awkward slow dancing at high school dances.

Megabound posted:I've only started listening to pop and indie recently after picking up Magdalena Bay, Yeule, Carly Rae Jepsen's latest album, and boygenius and related acts like late last year so if anyone's got recommendations on where to explore in any of those directions that'd be dope. I like listening to entire albums but singles are alright too. The albums Loser, Superstar and The Art of Forgetting by Caroline Rose. 'Art' in particular is a masterpiece of song writing. The other two are nearly perfect pop albums

Bright Bart posted:I'm curious if anyone wants to suggest some lyrical indie rock/pop/folk. They are fairly well known and an older band - but The Weakerthans have some of my favourite lyrics in all of indie music. Literary and lyrical without being as, for lack of a better word, pretentious as other bands I'd describe similarly like the Decemberists. I want to call requests through heating vents And hear them answered with a whisper, "No" To crack the code of muscles, slacken, tense Let every second step in boots on snow Complete your name with accents I can't place That stumble where the syllables combine Take depositions from a stranger's face Paint every insignificance a sign So tell me nothing matters, less or more Say "Whatever we think actions are We'll never know what anything was for If near is just as far away as far" And I'm permitted one act I can save I choose to sit here next to you and wave

the other songs in the 'trilogy' are equally as impressive, and heart wrenching. but there is some catharis. They tell the story of a man who is afflicted by addition and ennui, who does not care for the cat that came into his life the way that he should - he loved him and took great comfort from him but because of the addiction could not give it all back. "I'll lie down And lick the sorrow from your skin Scratch the terror and begin To believe you're strong All you ever want to do is drink and watch TV Frankly that thing doesn't really interest me I swear I'm going to bite you hard and taste your tinny blood If you don't stop the self-defeating lies you've been repeating since the day you brought me home I know you're strong" And then the cat leaves. Returns to the cold streets, and remembers his life with the man, but can't remember "the sound that you found for me" - his name. in the conclusion, the cat has died. They were never reunited. But the man remembers the cat and uses that memory to begin building a new life. And to accept the mistakes that he made. "Now that the treatment and antidepressants And seven months sober have built me a bed In the back of your brain where the memories flicker And I paw at the synapses, bright bits of string You should know I am with you, know I forgive you Know I am proud of the steps that you've made Know it will never be easy or simple Know I will dig in my claws when you stray So let us rest here like we used to In a line of late afternoon sun Let it rest, all you can't change Let it rest and be done" loving incredible. edit: aaaand I'm crying again.
