Anything I'm missing?

 

Overcoats' new album is wonderful. RIYL: The Staves, Joseph, etc

COIN and Charly Bliss are also on my list to listen to today

 

Diving into Coin's new album now. Really high hopes for this record and I can definitely see these guys blowing up soon.

 

It's a perfect summer album.

 

real life buildings has the singers of crying and vagabon in the band, really great record

also charly bliss

 

Today is all about While She Sleeps and Barry Manilow for me.


....

I'm a complex human.

 

New COIN?!?! I loved the Charly Bliss album, although it took a song or two for me to get used to the singer's voice.

 

How did a new Have Mercy record fly so far under the radar?

EDIT: Because everyone but the singer left the band and the new album is straight trash.

 

I like it much better than their last effort.

 

Have Mercy, Incubus and While She Sleeps on the docket.

 

Coin
Real Life Buildings
Charly Bliss
Ghost Bath

Nothing else this week I really have to check out.

 

Digging Coin. Will be seeing their set at Roo

 

Angaleena Presley is the best release of the week, imo.

Also, this new War on Drugs track is sick.

Listen: The War On Drugs Shares New 11-Minute Song For Record Store Day

 

Incubus and Have Mercy for me today. Although I am not overly enjoying either one to be completely honest.

 

Have Mercy wasn't anything special for me, doubt I'll be revisiting it.

 

Really enjoying the Have Mercy album. Really the only thing out for me today.

 

I enjoyed Have Mercy, at least much more than the last record. Still not as good as the first record.

Also checking out:
The Winter Passing
While She Sleeps
Northbound

and because you guys threw out these names so much even though I've never heard of them:
Coin
Real Life Buildings
Charly Bliss

 

Woods- Love is Love is great. Have Mercy is a bore. 1st album: "Man, I love how he can transition from singing to that screamy throaty voice so naturally, shows emotion. Now: Dude, we get it, you don't have to do it every verse of every song. Relax.

 

New blackbear album is pretty dope

 

Charly Bliss & Overcoats

 

First impressions of Have Mercy: much like their 2nd album, half of it is great and half of it is forgettable. A lot of the songs sound the same, but the ones that stand out are quite good. It's too bad they won't ever top The Earth Pushed Back, especially now that we know that all of the other band members left. They just had something special on that record that hasn't been replicated since.

 

There's something about While She Sleeps that has made them super hard to get into for me. I've tried many times and while the new record is good, it's just not drawing me in.
