Galaxie 500

Today

This is literally the best band you can listen to at night before bedtime🌙

Song for song, Today delivers a statement that not many bands make on a debut record. Insightful, coherent, and much more accessible than some other slowcore albums.

Both Galaxie 500 albums wonderfully depict life for a late 20 year old in the late 80's/early 90's. Both albums have that one song that, to me, completely embodies everything about what the band stands for. Their melancholy yet sweet and vulnerable dream pop, their topical lyrics, and their loose and free approach to what it means to create a good song. This album's is Tugboat. On Fire's is Snowstorm. Two tracks that I'll always have on my device

Favorite Track: Tugboat

Just an amazing album which is calm and mellow with amazing story telling and lyrics
