Albums in Stores – Aug. 20th, 2021 • Page 3

Nothing new to add, but here's what I'm hoping to get to today:

Switchfoot
The Joy Formidable
Deafheaven
BTBAM

Also quite enjoying the new singles from Dirty Loops and Out of Service

 

It's not just the title, it's definitely there in the songs themselves. Take this from Brooklyn Vegan's preview of the album last month:

Telethon's love of Everclear doesn't stop with the "Santa Monica" reference in the album title; that band's '90s punk/grunge-adjacent power pop sounds like a core influence on these new songs (along with similar bands like Fastball and Harvey Danger)

 

Happy Friday!

Alien Boy - Don't Know What I Am (indie punk)
Angel Olsen - Aisles EP (80s covers)
DARE - Against All Odds (hardcore)
Deafhaven - Infinite Granite
Jake Bugg - Saturday Night, Sunday Morning
LORDE - Solar Power
Shannon & The Clams - Year Of The Spider

Singles:

ETID, Mild High Club, Pip Blom, Militarie Gun, Hovvdy, Deviates, Palace, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats. DVSN w/ Ty Dolla Sign, Geographer, Boston Manor, Bad Bad Hats

 

Deafheaven has been on repeat for me, definitely my #1 on the year so far, and was digging new Lorde too.

Still gotta check BTBAM, Sturgill, and Wolves in the Throne Room

 

update: I’m just gonna get to the first two because all I want to do is listen to Orla on repeat.

RIYL: Maggie Rogers, Sigrid, and the like of indie/alt pop

 

new tippie redd rules

 

I'm glad it's not just Iphone!!

 

Surrogate has been sporadically dropping singles since 2018, and released their first of 2021 today! It's excellent, as expected.

 

That Dead Bundy album was great. Very throwback to 90s/early 2000s pop punk

 

Andrew Belle - Nightshade

 

I just took the Dead Bundy album recommendation out of my post from this morning.
I listened to "When I'm High" by Dead Bundy a couple weeks ago & thought I'd be into this album & find the dumb boy shtick comical... but I don't think this is gonna go over well in 2021. It's one thing to sing immature pop-punk songs (blink is one of my fav bands), but things like joking about the #metoo movement just for the sake of being edgy is just bad.

 

At some point I stopped adding them to my lists even though they still show up in my RR. Just don’t care for it.

 

I still don’t have that little bell I’ve been hearing about. When, iPhone when?!?!

 

Try to manually update,it should happen!

 

i can try again but I did update yesterday and nothing!

 

I only just got it yesterday. Must be slowly rolling it out.

 

For any Vein fans, two of their members have a side-project called Living Weapon who dropped their debut EP this week. Silly good.

 

Nice! I guess I will just keep an eye out!

 

The bell has arrived! Looking forward to checking it out!
