Lyrically I found ADHD more fun than I probably should have. It is also let down by irritating production choices, so there’s also that.
What little I’ve heard of the new Bleachers album sounds fairly mediocre so far. Tiny Moves is a little more interesting but it’s still not really driving me to care all that much about the album.
Oh hey, Cage The Elephant are back! Been a while. Neon Pill itself could have been better though.
No Place Like Home isn’t offering anything new in the way of indie rock, but it’s just about witty enough to avoid falling into landfill territory.
Thus far, I think it’s fair to call Good People 2024’s Least Necessary Thing.
Eclectic, self-aware dance punk that manages to be innovative while wearing its influences on its sleeve awaits on LCD Soundsystem’s debut.
Superorganism is a slice of very fun, very cheesy, very left-field glitch-pop!
Fallout is not cohesive as an experience- it starts with Gus and Yachty doing their thing (their thing not being that great here anyway) and then when Joey Bada$$ comes in it’s almost like they forgot to give him a part and just slid him in at the end.
Yard Act’s instrumentation has improved leaps and bounds since The Overload and We Make Hits is yet more proof of that.
Amused To Death gets its message across very well, even if it feels over-the-top instrumentally at times.
The electronic elements of this band are fascinating, and when combined with vocals on the second track, Electromagnetic Matsuri Bayashi in Neo Tokyo is a real display of potential.
Beautiful People (Stay High) is fun! Not that unique or insightful but it’s fun!
Waiter: “You Vultures!” is a fun and lively debut from P.TM, however I felt as though it didn’t really need 13 tracks.
It feels as though there’s a certain amount of oomph lacking from Music For A Sushi Restaurant. You can clearly tell what they were going for, but it doesn’t quite stick the landing.
Nothing To Declare is another sweet, hazy, psychedelic rock track from MGMT. They seem to have crafted a very consistent sound for their upcoming album without it getting stale thus far.
It would be a struggle to pick Just Another Rainbow out from a crowd of other Britpop-revival indie songs, to say the least. The only real selling factor for this one is the name value of Gallagher and Squire.
Tourist History does a very good job at epitomising the key aspects of 2010s indie. It’s pacey, carefree and guitar-heavy, with a handful of hits and a handful of misses. Luckily on this album the hits outweigh the misses.

"great review; dan le sac & scroobius pip are interesting in that their legacy now seems to be this song and a very bad pitchfork review. i heard their first album and none of it really gelled with me, although i did enjoy this does it offend you yeah remix of a song off their second album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwvucPxCyC0. also, their name is always a nice little throwback to when collaborations would be labeled as "one artist vs another artist" haha"

On orange's review of Lovejoy - One Simple Trick
"I dunno, I think Lovejoy have had more than enough time to find their niche, so to speak. They've already put out three widely publicised EPs and they're getting double the attention and resources a regular indie rock band would get at this stage in their career thanks in no small part to the existing popularity of their lead singer. If they're still spinning their wheels in the mud right now I don't have high hopes for their future release quality."

On bubobratesmusic's review of The K's - I Wonder If The World Knows
"that game in particular took a heavier influence from the edm scene as well as more pop rap (let it roll, us against the world) and the bulk of the indie was mostly along the lines of shimmer pop like st. lucia and early walk the moon"
