The Sidekicks - Happiness Hours (May 18, 2018) Album • Page 3

Love this band. Can’t wait

 

A good assumption on both ends!

 

This new song is so good holy

 

The guitar tone on this song reminds me of Two Conversations-era Appleseed Cast. I’m in.

 

Listening to this now. I don't want to be that guy, so I guess just let me know what/how much you want to know?

edit: im drunk. "Don't Feel Like Dancing" wowowowow
"Medium in the Middle" wowowowow [x2]

 

I want to know it all haha

 

I can't handle knowing anything

BUT are there any songs similar to Summer Brings You Closer To Satan?

 

In what way? I'd say so in the sense that the entire album is poppier and weirder than Runners.

 

I like this band more and more album by album and based solely off the first song, this is off to a good start. A lot of alliterative lyrics which are small and subtle but still super effective. “Finding fruit to eat in February” “it’s the sugar surfacing on the sour” couple others but I forget

 

This album is so fucking pleasant - sounds exactly how the album art looks - gonna be a great warm weather listen

Early standouts are Win Affection, Weed Tent, Summer and the Magic Trick, Medium in the Middle, and the title track

 

Runaway Brother is opening the Cleveland show mmmmmmmmmmm

 

Twin's Twist has been in the back, back of my head since I've heard it. This is gonna be amazing.

 

I'm so glad this is out so soon, less than 2 months for rollout is always very welcome

 

This record is so good that it finally makes me want to write a longform review again (first time since November), but I don't want to wait a month to publish it

Want some more hype? Pieces of this remind me of Goodness (though never quite so heavy) and Weatherbox

 

well goodness fuckin rules so im hyped

 

My man...goodness...

 

Lol don't let that set the bar too high because it's not gonna change the scene like that. It's just a bright, catchy, emotionally resonant, good-ass record with similar vibes

 

Gimme those fuckin weatherbox vibes I love that craic

 

This is some relaxing and chill sounding stuff.

 

Don’t feel like dancing up on streaming

 

How does it compare to Runners?

 

Kinda nervous I'll be disappointed cuz Runners is a top ten of the decade for me

 

Runners is still my favorite. This is definitely different, but go in with an open mind and I can't imagine you disliking it. It's one of my top five of the year so far

 

@nfdv2 also I don't know if you're the type to avoid pre-relase tracks, but both are pretty decent indicators of the album and "Don't Feel Like Dancing" is one of my favorites

 

I'm honestly not a huge fan of them :/ but that's also what happened with the Runners singles and then I was blown away by the record so maybe that'll happen again

I think this is one of the most solidly album bands for me ('xcept for 1940's fighter jet)

Btw this was produced by John Agnello, woooo
