i really just don't vibe will woods warbly vocal inflections, this was much more of what i loved about BCNR!

with this and the viagra boys pumping out great albums, i think punk is really starting to herald a new era of frustration at a fucking despondent world! cool shit.

the most interesting thing top has done since trench, this album really flip flops between bangers and boring far too much for me to really dig it as an album experience. some amazing songs on here though and the drumming specifically is just all killer no filler at this point, josh dun i salute you

fuck yeah

Alan coming back and embracing a lot of the idiosyncrasies that made Low what it was, while continuing the late band's recent ritual of moving to in new sonic directions. This time, its bluegrass with some fellow Duluth natives, Trampled by Turtles. What this does for Alan's sound is pretty indescribable, hearing Alan's knack for crushing vocal harmonies split with folksy riffs works wonders and reminds me of some of my favorite Low tracks. Trampled by Turtles also needs a ... read more

woogh. talk about albums i feel like shouldnt be public. alan lays out what hes going through post-low and post-mimi with shrill autotuned vocals, dark synths and frantic, schizophrenic lyrics. NR because i dont feel like ratings someones grief processing.

Indie rock essential. it dives into some deeper feelings than just angsty rock-outs, and bj burton is absolutely elevating this shit way beyond what it would normally be

this is some of Hippo Campuses' best songwriting chops imo. not everything here works, but the ones that do is some of their most interesting work.

nostaligic one for me! this album looking back isnt the groundbreaking shit i thought it was when i was 15 lol. still, good indie rock, and the deep cuts have surprisingly interesting production, if you can only check out one track, try Poems.

its tough, watching the band that got you into caring about the music you listen to peter out like this. the country/folk cuts on this are as bland as the ones from the last EP, and that hit or miss indie songwriting is all but gone these days.

can i get a hell yeah

surprisingly, i think KGLW's lyricism shines through this the most out of anything. Their descriptions of mental health struggles, dealing with stagnation, and the difference in our unique human experience were all very fun to sort through in a blues rock medium. It's classic gizz shit, what else is there to say?

Somehow this is the largest Billie album yet, and still it feels like I barely heard about it over the all of the timeless mega-hit pop albums that came out this year. This is definitely the most comfortable Billie has sounded with her sound yet, and her songwriting just keeps getting better. This new era of pop has got gen alpha spoiled man.

extremely influential album towards my music tastes, its dark, haunting, and always feels like its spiralling down deeper, to something more breath-taking.

this album makes you think ghosts are real again

but really there's nobody putting out music like Kiltro. absolutely insane to me that this band has not surged in popularity yet because MAN, they do everything right and it's always a pleasure to see what they do next <3

What i would say is the crown jewel of indie rock. It captures the angst, confusion, love and overwhelming feelings that indie rock has always blasted out, and channels it for a new (ab)normal post-COVID. This is my vote for a time-capsule album for this time in history.

Feels like chewing on your grandma's old pearl necklace, and maybe the most accurate album cover to album experience I've ever seen. I love this genre and this band, and they go to much greater heights after this debut, but this album stands on it's own two legs as a dope piece of art.

It's funny, I first found this album in 2016 from a indie band's cover of Last Snowstorm of the Year. I was obsessed with 2010's indie rock, (still am, as are most of gen Z) and was absolutely enchanted by an album that by all accounts back then, I thought was genuinely haunted. Still probably the only time i've ever been truly scared of a song before, but slowly creeping through the depths of this album is what truly got me into music, and so I can never forget this album ... read more

I would say this is objectively the best Low album, and the one everyone should start with to enjoy this band. It envelops you with its full breadth of emotion, of failure and family, of togetherness in death, so many feelings that I've never seen conveyed before or since in other bands. Somehow not my personal favorite for Low, but that might change the more I listen to it.

Mimi's death still feels as otherworldy to me as this album does. This is a perfect sendoff to a band that always found its own path through the music landscape. Low pioneered slow-core, and walked with it to it's final evolution.
