The Hotelier - Goodness (May 27, 2016) Album • Page 59

Tried to see if this would stream soon but the person that runs the Tiny Engines Twitter wouldn't give me an answer lol

 

If anyone else is desperately looking for music to hold them over till this album like I am, Tiny Moving Parts are streaming their new album. I've never listened to them before, but I'm liking this quite a bit on first listen.

 

listen to the last young jesus record, closest thing to this i've heard.
TMP isn't anything close

 

Tbh I need music that doesn't sound anything like Hotelier so I don't get sad every time I remember I'm not listening to this album

 

i'll even make it easier

and new song out today!
Young Jesus releasing a new EP & touring (stream “Baked Goods”)

 

My boy Casey coming through with the great tunes

 

yeah that Young Jesus record hasnt left my rotation for the past few weeks, hit that up if you havnt.

 

the streaming site version loses the first song, but i actually don't like it enough to care enough to put it back on, haha. i like how it starts with more energy in the streaming version

 

hotelier added to the best DIY festival of the year

The New Alternative Music Festival

 

So cool seeing them still do DIY fests despite how much they've grown

 

itll be really interesting to see how big they get following Goodness...

 

i mean it's bigger than normal DIY fests, but don giovanni is keeping that feeling for it. so many amazing bands on this bill, p sure i'm going with a friend and taking off a day of work for it

 

With how hard Pitchfork and other big outlets have been gushing about this record, plus given that I've heard it, I think they'll explode even more.

 

hoping for that BNM, probably just a low 8s though.
can't wait to see them and carly rae on the same pitchfork fest lol

 

I'll be shocked if it doesn't get BNM but who knows. I just know Ian absolutely adores it so it'll probably score high with him. But given how weird pitchforks scoring is who knows.

 

exactly. ive been wondering how much all the pitchfork / other big media outlets coverage will effect their audience.

 

Like he gave Currents BNM, if he doesn't for this idek...

 

Currents was stellar but I agree, this album is really something special.

 

it's very different, you can't compare. pitchfork's editors choose the score, currents is in the realm of stuff that pitchfork and the mainstream indie media rate highly. even if a writer loves this record if it's not in the sphere of what the site thinks as an important record in the hyposphere for 2016, it'll get like an 8.2 and not BNM

we're at least getting emo reviews on pitchfork, which was unthinkable in 2010 when the genre was thought of as not cool enough, next step is a breakthrough record that puts the genre into the mainstream indie hivemind

 

That's an atrocious way of scoring things, but I guess whatever integrity they have to sacrifice for hits...

I mean the review was insanely hyperbolic anyway iirc, think there was a Kid A comparison in there, personally (again to reiterate, this is my opinion, you're welcome to think different) I didn't think Currents was that great or worthy of such praise.

 

i mean that's how most big sites do it. you think a random writer on rolling stone decides what they want to give a record? nah, it's all the editors that decide how things work

welcome to the real world, everyone! it's a real shitty place to be!

 

the world is a beautiful place and i am no longer afraid to rate albums.

 

obviously that's how rolling stone would do it, but does anyone actually take them seriously? i thought pitchfork's niche was to go against that sort of thing but what do i know, i barely read reviews from any big websites like that, i value the opinion of amateur writers who review albums purely out of passion for music, which hasn't gone wrong for me so far

 

pitchfork is all a lie

 

Yes, millions of people who don't know any better.
