Open Mike Eagle – I’ll Fight You

The Village — Thu, 21 Sep 2023 14:35:17 +0000

Open Mike Eagle records are all slow burns with me. I feel I never really get into an album until the next one is announced.

Open Mike Eagle – Sweatpants Spiderman

Fri, 05 Feb 2021 01:13:07 +0000

I wasn’t really into this album when it came out. Something about it just seemed off for me. But that something kept pulling me back to give it another try. It took some time but “Anime, Trauma and Divorce” grew on me, hard, until it became one of my favorite albums of 2020.

Go Get it.

Pressure Cracks – Ready For You

This goes so goddamn hard.

Go get it.

Phoebe Bridgers – Garden Song

You already know Phoebe Bridgers is great.

If you some how don’t already have this fantastic album, go get it.

Suzie True – Toothache

What if Josie and the Pussy Cats were real and late 90s/early 00s pop-punk band?

Got get it.

PS, they just put out a cover of “3 Small Words” from the Josie and Pussy Cats movie.

Spanish Love Songs – Routine Plan

Tue, 19 Jan 2021 21:00:38 +0000

When this album came out the band made an Instagram post the listed each song and the various mental health organizations you should could contact if you identified with the song a bit too much. Shit was heavy. I couldn’t really listen to it when it came out. Work was a real shit situation and listening to this album made me want to drive into Into on coming traffic.

Its a great album, and if they had been able to tour and really promote this album last year I think they would have really blown up.

Go get it.

Clipping – Chapter 319

Hard as hell. Full stop.ACAB. Full Stop.

Spanish Love Songs – The Boy Considers His Haircut

Thu, 17 Jan 2019 01:45:47 +0000

The album is called “Schmaltz,” and dear lord is it, but I love it.

One of my favorite albums of 2018.

This song has been stuck in my head for the last 4 months.

Crowhurst – Take This Pain Away

Thu, 01 Sep 2016 04:00:00 +0000

The internet (the band’s band camp page included) keep referring to this band/album as Black Metal. If this really fits into that genre, I probably need to examine my “Back Metal is bullshit” theory.

My favorite track on the album is actually “Dried Blood and Old Earth, ” a 13+ minute ambient sludge track. But “Take This Pain Away” is a better representation of the album as a whole.
