a smoother, mellower listen than the two Grizzly Bear albums to come, ‘Yellow House’ still delivers gorgeous soundscapes and soothing atmospheres with their beautiful psychedelic indie folk. This project is such a pleasant listen and once more proving why Grizzly Bear are the best in the business for psych folk
some really cool stuff on here, inconsistency lets it down a little but the highlights kinda sound like if Bright Eyes made noisier indie rock
these instrumentals are so cool and i like the guys voice but it all just sounds so… disney???? especially the writing lol. this is what i’d imagine the emo in a stereotypical early 2010s highschool movie would listen to
WELSH USED🔥🔥🗣️💯🏴
WHAT THE FUCK IS A BAD FLAG???‼️❔🗣️🏴
in all seriousness this is very pretty i like it a lot big thumbs up
Carissa’s Weird delivers a potently emotional record that follows the bands name well - it’s a little weird. but that’s what’s so brilliant about it. It isn’t just another heartbreak album, it’s raw and truly vulnerable.
this is what people told me AftërLyfe was
leaps and bounds better - much more creative, interesting, unique and well executed.
his last project was one of my very least favourites from 2023… i can’t believe that only months later i’m about to give yeat a 7
(yes, i know it's a high 6 now but that's just because i adjusted my rating system, it's still a solid effort from yeat)
considering the direction IDLES have been going in since ‘Joy as an Act of Resistance’ (which i’m a big fan of), and how quickly the user score dropped into the mid 70’s, i wasn’t overly hopeful for this project but IDLES deliver a typically IDLES-y grit but with a new message - ‘Love is the fing’. A slower release from the punk band but still with their classic punch. A great album.
despite IDMTHY being probably my favourite project ever, this rating is actually higher than i expected to give it. i wasn’t HUGE on the individual scrapyard EPs and i was a little worried this’d be more of the same, thankfully though, almost all of the new songs were amongst the best on the mixtape, and all the best already-released songs were included in this tracklist. some of the best songs on here like ‘GUIDE DOG’ can genuinely compete with songs from his previous ... read more
I submitted my essay today and my tutor asked me how it was coming along, i simply replied “kanye west”. they smiled and nodded, he knew it was finished
Sunny Day Real Estate take a different approach to their previous releases here with a more emotional and personal post hardcore record that slows down the tempo and delivers some brilliant songs
the first 3 tracks were incredible, still had some solid tracks after that but those 3 were head and shoulders above for me
Used to be one of my favourite albums ever if not my favourite
sad to see how little i listen to it nowadays but i’ll be forever grateful to Jean
this mix of ambient and folk in such a haunting way is really special, it sets its somber atmosphere amazingly.
