Yeah, Pitchfork pointed that out before I got to hear it. Totally colored my listening experience. It did sound like Phish/jammier Dead.
Not that I really blame Pitchfork -- I think I was going to hear that influence regardless.

Sorry. That was worded wrongly. The four released tracks, my dude.
I've had a head cold for the past week and it is doing me no favors regarding inference or meaning.

a tune (boy's got to go) from last year's BRONCHO album popped up this morning. I had kind of dismissed it last year when it came out- their last couple haven't really had antying that popped and it all kind of mushed together... but today, for some reason, it's working for me.

ok- say sue me here, but the wife and kids were watching american idol on dvr last night- must be back on- and when I got home late from work told me I had to watch this guy named alejandro's audition.
the guy is good. really good. some crazy guitar pluck/chord guitar method. reminds a bit of a more indie-guitar based how to dress well with breathy falsetto and some nice musicality. google shows that he's been performing as scarypoolparty, with music on spotify, youtube etc. (I'm a couple into his spotify stuff- the produced stuff is more poppy than indie, but still good).

Oops. Probably should have put this in the metal thread. Oh well. Rawk.

I kinda remember liking baroness. not my wheelhouse, but like deafheaven, when the mood strikes it scratches all right itches. or itches all the right scratches. turns my crank when the crank needs turning. in a good way. I like them.

I’m a big VW fan but don’t really like any of the 4 songs I’ve heard from FOTB and actually dislike 3 of them.
I wholeheartedly agree with you regarding the bolded.

Westkust is good if you are into ‘90s shoegaze throwbacks.

Stumbled upon some new R&B/Soul the other day.
"American Love Call" by Durand Jones & The Indications
Every track on the album is enjoyable.

Huh, I haven't been in here in a while I guess.
I like the new Broken Social Scene single - Can't Find My Heart. It's definitely in the more straightforward rock vein of their stuff. Almost Arcade Fire-ish?

The more I am listening to that album, the more I am digging it. While not announced I am hoping to catch a Pup/PkewX3 tour this year.

PUP are playing a headlining show at Echo Beach in Toronto. It's a 5000 capacity outdoor venue, they've said it's by far the largest place they've been top billed for. Twin Peaks and Charly Bliss are supporting, pretty sure I have to go.
I preordered their pink vinyl for the new album today and they played their first late night show this week on Seth Myers and killed it.
I am all-in on this band like I haven't been on one in a while.

I post it all the time, but so you see it, Pup's Reservoir on KEXP needs a look if you like them that much. It soars. Just love posting it for you.
Reservoir.

La Dispute's Panaroma, which Eeph bumped for me, isn't what I thought it would be after four singles. Just a bummer. Loved their Wildlife back in 2011.

I'm the big Strand of Oaks fanboy on this board and am loving Tim's new one. Eraserland is a return from the boundary pushing of the last 1 1/2 records. It's classic rock with big melodies, sing-along choruses and its heart planted squarely on its sleeve.
Other recent favorites are a pair of relatively sedate solo albums from bandleaders. Jon Fratelli of the Fratellis released Bright Night Flowers. Its confessional lyrics and string arrangements are a long way from "Chelsea Dagger. Finn Andrews' solo debut has a bit of cabaret about it. You can see the line between The Veils and his solo record but it's a much quieter set than the albums from his band.

Ill have to listen to that Strand of Oaks now- is on my RR, but I was head-down when it played, so I missed it.
some stuff from bands I've been waiting for this week...
- hotel lux
- PUP
- ausmuteants
- pist idiots
- institute
surprised and excited to see Asian Dub Foundation pop up... but it appears to be a release, or re-release of old stuff circa Rafi's Revenge... "bonus tracks"
eta: btw- new plague vendor single rawks. and I still don't like the name.

I’m pretty much only listening to Olivia Tremor Control and their offshoots these days for some reason. Let me know if anything good comes out.

I'll be spinning the full Billie Eilish release this morning. She's getting a ton of mainstream press on this thing.
