guppiehaus posted:Wild Nothing is coming out with a new album next week (8/28). Here's a single from Nocturne called 'Shadow': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnRLPaYXvoU That Craft Spells EP is decent, even more bedroom sounding. I also think the Wild Nothing album a decent amount but not nearly as much Gemini. I will check out the Sunrom stuff cause I am a huge sucker for the Chillwave sound and will be said when it's imminent quick demise is complete.

Conduit for Sale! posted:I like the parts where she's just dancing and messing around but then all the parts with the chick with pink dreads and skin colored costume with fake metal bits make me want to not watch the video ever again. I think her former love of Nu Metal is starting to take its place in her own image. That video is balls, intentionally campy doesn't always mean it's ok to be campy. That video is a perfect example.

I didn't think the new Grizzly Bear was very good after a couple of listens, but I think it needs time. This has been a running theme for me this year though, a bunch of artist I've loved in the last half decade have put out new albums that seem completely underwhelming to me. I must really be getting old.

ThatsMyBoye posted:The new Local Natives drops this week, and it's absolutely worth your time. My favorite release of the month. I agree, it's not as catchy on the whole, none of the songs top the highlights of Gorilla Manor either. It seems more... dark, and laid back. However, that doesn't mean it isn't interesting and enjoyable. I like it a lot and some of the songs are great, slow building tunes that are a pleasure to my ears. It's really good.

The band Beach Fossils just posted, and deleted about ten minutes later, this amazing gem of indie rock absurdity. quote:Music journalism/criticism is for college kids who just discovered there is more to music than Top 40 and need somebody to hold their hand when it comes to forming an opinion. "Baa!" says the sheep. Wake up or get out! The critic has an enormous and comfortable space to rot away behind the computer screen while the artist works their fingers to the bone, traveling the world for a decent and honest living. Don't follow the herd. Either get a lobotomy and become one with the masses or believe in what you love and think for yourself. This to me was too funny/ridiculous to not post it. The best part is the fact they deleted it like some E/N bullshit within ten minutes. Classic.

guppiehaus posted:I wouldn't be surprised if Payseur wrote this. I love Beach Fossils, but I'll admit Clash The Truth was underwhelming, whiny, and almost made me feel like I was back in my high school post-hardcore, 'deep' music phase. Disappointed to see them reacting like this to the mediocre, and rightfully so, reviews. Yeah same with me. I liked the first lp enough, and thought the What A Pleasure EP was great start to finish. I could barely make it through Clash The Truth.. I thought it sucked. I met them once after they played my college's free spring concert held every year (At a bar the other band they were touring with played at later that evening) and got the elitist vibe from them quiet a bit. (The DIIV and Heavenly Beat guys were still in the band and there as well.) Also, anyone who invalidates the opinion of other's in that manner is one huge tool. The part about making an "honest living" touring across the world was a joke too. He acts like it isn't loving awesome doing such, just stupid.

Jagwar Ma released their debut LP, and it hasn't really seemed to hit that much with people yet, even though it's a lot better than some stuff that gets way more hype/praise. It's a trippy, catchy ride. It has this old psych vibe to it, but then it throws you for a loop with crazy electro influenced sounds. One song will sound straight up indie psych, and the next will sound like it's taking influence from LCD Soundsystem. Vibes ranging from Tame Impala to Cut Copy, yeah. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RM0xpCi8IdY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgjqhGjUIb0 Listen to these.

Saw St. Vincent last night in DC. Adding to the praise yet again, she was great. Her music was fabulous live and sounded in many ways more powerful than the albums. She made it fun and interesting to say the least and it was one of the best, more surprisingly good shows I've been to in a long time.

A computerized voice comes over the PA right before she starts all whimsical like and says PLEASE DO NOT FILM/KEEP YOUR PHONE IN YOUR POCKET. ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE INSTEAD OF WORRYING ABOUT LOOKING AT VIDEO OF IT LATER. It was awesome and NO ONE pulled out their phones to shoot/record during the set.

Alvvays (pronounced always) debut album is really good. It's loud rock pop, reminds me of the first Dum Dum Girls album and stuff like that, but more catchy. It's up at First Listen on the NPR website, also so is the new Jenny Lewis which is great too. http://www.npr.org/2014/07/13/329491975/first-listen-alvvays-alvvays?autoplay=true My favorite song I think is "Party Police".

uggy posted:There are lots of bands that are poorly reviewed that have legions of fans. I don't think alt-j is any different than them. Sam smith might already be more popular and his album tanked with critics. Sam Smith isn't a creditable source of what I am saying, I am talking the indie realm, where people usually follow the critics reviews... Of course the critics are going to pan the next Britney Spears album, the next thing Miley Cyrus does, Sam Smith (his music is good but it's not indie at all), etc, etc. My point is Alt-J is a unique band doing some weird things and are very much the type of band critics normally blow a load over, they don't however, and all the indie kids still seem to eat it up and not let their opinion be dictated by a metacritic score... which isn't always the case. I guess that was my point?

My Morning Jacket's new one leaked, I like all the songs that are on it more than the two released so far, its really good. I will try to see them sometime this summer, I've seen them 7 or 8 times starting in 2005 and haven't since 2012 so it would be nostalgic yet fresh at the same time.

Ebbs and flows, also, children are what made emo/pop punk big, today would be no different. You are just older and less simple with your music taste.

Listen to her singing and you'll get it. The music itself is very orchestral and lush usually and she bases it all around the harp, however her singing gimmick to me personally gets old real quick. To each their own.

And no, no one 'naturally' sings the way she does, especially if they are a fully grown person. She's just overrated as hell is all I am saying and her voice is nails on a chalkboard to me, gently caress the lush arrangements otherwise.

FactsAreUseless posted:"Boy, I sure do like indie music, but only if everyone sounds normal, like Coldplay, or Mumford and Sons." Indie music is the norm now.... so what's your point? It's not some ultra creative genre mostly, it's formulaic music based on traditional rock. Thanks for putting words in my mouth, do you listen to black metal? Do you like the guttural growls? Man you must listen to Maroon 5 if you don't.
