Black Country New Road – Ants from Up There (Feb. 4, 2022) Album • Page 6

i made most of my closest friends on the previous incarnation of this website, i also met my girlfriend of now 5 and a half years there too, so welcome

 

it reminds me SO much of Anathallo

 

also i was trying to think of what this reminded me of and its anthallo lol damn havent thought about that band in forever

 

YES

 

EVERYONE WILL SAY IT WAS COOOOOOL

 

Baroque indie is back baby it’s good again awhouuu (wolf howl)

 

we're not even two weeks in and this is already the best month of music I can recall in years lmao

 

Big Thief, Mitski, Saba, this, Destroyer. 5 knockout records.

 

Cate le Bon, Spoon, Empath, caroline, Beach House, String Machine

 

gang of goddamn YOUTHS

 

CLB i didn’t love, but the rest of these I’m meaning to check out!

 

i love big thief, mitski, destroyer and cate le bon. ill have to check the rest of these out!

 

Wait lol the last song is about having a wet dream about Charli XCX?

 

it was. idk if it still is, haha.

 

it's not lol, they changed the lyrics completely

 

This album is truly wonderful

 

Still kinda think this is my favorite recording of either of these bands. Sounds like Naked City

 

If anyone ever reads this and is willing to part with their bronze or signed blue copy for a premium (less than a king's ransom), please slide into my DMs.

 

This album is absolutely phenomenal. For me, it has only gotten better on subsequent listens.

 

Totally agree...been a while since an album made me feel the way this one did!

 

Last night I listened to both black midi albums into both BCNR albums. I think I still personally prefer black midi but wow what a little scene those guys have going. 2 bands, 4 albums, all insanely good. Between these guys' Brixton Windmill scene and the jazz scene based around Total Refreshment Center a lot of the most exciting new music for me is coming from London.

 

Never listened to black midi before but if its comparable to this album im on my way!

 

They're definitely sonically different, a lot heavier, but still have softer, beautiful moments that are the most comparable to this. The association is definitely more social than musical, but there's some similarities there. Worth checking out regardless

 

This album is really good. A different sound from their debut but you recognise them in an instant. It even made me like the debut more, which I prefer just a tiny bit more.

Also, I would like to say that the album version of Sunglasses is better than the single version. I know it's a hot take and I didn't like it at first, but it has grown on me a lot!

 

Cannot stand the vocalist from black midi
