it's like Paradise but rougher sounding and she yells more than she screams. Maybe you'll like it. personally, as much as I love Paradise, it wasn't to my tastes.

 

in case anyone needs a White Lung primer this song is ace.

 

glad you liked em! Call it Dreaming is one of my favorites as well, after claim your ghost and summer clouds.
also, perfect description of Paradise. anybody who hasn't listened to it yet needs to.

round 1 was a rousing success

also @jorbjorb hasnt responded to me yet

 

Mish might've delivered one of the best rock vocal performances ever on that record. straight up.

 

I think I'll enjoy it! Sounds pretty great to me

 

I'm still so happy that you love Gang Of Youths. Definitely a band to be caught live, I missed them last time and their next show here will probably be huge haha

Ratboys - AOID
nnamdi ogbonnaya - DROOL

 

And courtesy of @Cody ill be diving into PJ Harvey’s To Bring You My Love and Janet Jackson’s The Velvet Rope this week.

 

I will be listening to

Cakes da Killa - Hedonism


And @skogsraet will be checking out

Sparta-Wiretap Scars

 

For this week I'm checking out:
Oso Oso - Yunahon Mixtape
Mineral Girls - This Is the Last Time Every Time
(to be clear, it was my idea to check out my partner's work)

And @nohandstoholdonto is spinning:
Under the Influence of Giants - Under the Influence of Giants
Vaux - Beyond Virtue, Beyond Vice

I feel kind of lame recommending the Vaux album two weeks in a row, but after talking about what we've been digging lately it seemed appropriate.

 

Currently spinning one of my recommended albums from @JoshShulkin
Speedy Ortiz- Foil Deer.

It is right up my alley so far, really enjoying it.

 

Just grabbed Wiretap Scars on vinyl a couple weeks ago. Still so good.

 

U are #blessed to be listening to the velvet rope for the first time

 

One of my favorites.

 

i've been meaning to listen to Ratboys for awhile. already glad i hopped on this and got it sent my way. this album is where i've been lately. "charles bernstein" GOAT

 

I'm so glad you liked it! I agree with the Modest Mouse comparison. If you enjoyed this one, I'm sure you will like the rest of their albums, they have a pretty solid discography.

 

i'll be listening to:
Continuance - Carry Ourselves
Brighter Brightest - Right For Me

jorbjorb will be listening to:
Cardova - Draw In The Light
Movements - Feel Something

 

so we get a new partner each time?

 

@Dirty Sanchez had me listen to Chaos Theory by Amon Tobin, which I had never even heard of before. I’ve been trying to listen to more electronic music so it was nice to get something which is not only extremely electronic music but also sounds like no album I’d ever heard before. I think the closer The Clean Up was my favorite; it’s probably the most dynamic on the album. I will say it took a few listens to really get into; a lot of it sounds pretty similar so I wasn’t initially super engaged. I’ll definitly be checking out more of his stuff now, though.

 

@Contender assigned me two albums for session #1.

Tyler Daniel Bean
Longing.
2012



I had never heard of Tyler Daniel Bean prior to the start of this. I did a little research and Tyler calls his band "heavy indie" which I think is a pretty accurate description. The vocals are very strong - I couldn't place who exactly he reminded me of, but I read a review comparing him to David Bazan (Pedro the Lion, etc.) and I can see that. There are a couple songs where he screams and those vocals reminded me a little of (early) As Cities Burn. Overall, I really enjoyed the vocals and the album was very strong lyrically. The music itself spanned multiple genres, but some of the songs musically reminded me of bands like Foxing and The World Is A Beautiful Place...

My favorite tracks on the albums to this point are Flowers At My Feet, Lake Eola, Rootbeerlington, and Sometimes The Details Are Underground.

A couple other various comments I have - I enjoyed the dual/background vocals that were present in several of the tracks. Also, this album is only 10 songs and 30 minutes long so it's definitely worth a listen if any of these bands I've mentioned are bands you enjoy.

Here are some of my favorite lyrics of the album (so far):

"If there is a heaven, I hope you're having a good one" - Flowers At My Feet

"I'll always miss you in the fall" - Rootbeerlington

"I hope you never feel at home inside of your own skin" - Sometimes The Details Are Underground

"You're becoming the world and everyone in it" - Sometimes The Details Are Underground

Overall, a very enjoyable album and one that I would not have checked out if it wasn't for this recommendation! I will definitely be going back to this album and also checking out his other material.


Depeche Mode
Black Celebration
1986



Depeche Mode is a band that I've heard of, but have never really listened to. Their only songs that I was familiar with prior to this were "People Are People" and "Personal Jesus" so I was excited to have this album recommended to me. This is the fifth studio album of theirs and from the start of the album it's very easy to see why this band has been such a massive influence to countless bands. Just looking at Wikipedia at some of the artists that have cited Depeche Mode as an influence is pretty incredible - Marilyn Manson, The Killers, Muse, Nine Inch Nails, Lady Gaga, Deftones...the list goes on and on. It's also pretty incredible that the core of the band has been the same for the past 37 years.

Anyway, as far as this album goes, I really enjoyed it. Neither "People Are People" or "Personal Jesus" were on it, so every single song was new to me. My favorite tracks were Fly On The Windscreen - Final, A Question Of Time, Dressed In Black, and New Dress. The entire album is fantastic though. The vocals are great and the music was very enjoyable.

I listened to this album in my car a couple of times and didn't make any notes for this one as far as the lyrical content, but I look forward to diving back into this album and going through their discography.


Overall, this was a very positive session #1. Thank you @Contender!

 

Correct, @BTDandFeelingThis puts all the names in a generator to make random pairings, that way every week your partnered with someone new so you can discover as much new music as possible!

 

Am I too late to hop on this at some point?
