Chorus.fm Record of the Week Club • Page 35

The Fela Kuti album rules so much. Considering skipping my next work call so I don't have to pause it.

 

In the Ocean by Mint Julep holy shit

 

Another cult-classic dreampop album that isn’t on streaming but deserves to be heard by all. Here it is on Youtube and Soundcloud (the SC link removes two interlude tracks).

Don't think i've ever listened to a full album by them but I dug the tracks I've heard

 

This is giving me M83 vibes in a great way, making me want to revisit Fantasy. Really beautiful and cinematic stuff

 

So glad you’re into it!

 

Sitting on my porch in pretty perfect weather, pretty high and really digging this. I feel like I typically get pretty bored by this genre/all sounds the same to me but I’m definitely vibing with this right now

 

Yeah, this was a very good pick!

 

Perfect time of the year for it! At least wherever it's summer lol

 

Feel like this is lowkey the best thread on the forum. I stg I’ve been listening to the best shit the last few weeks, not even necessarily the weekly choices but also from all the recs that stem from them.

 

Spinning the Postiljonen album now. That synth line in "On the Run" is hypnotic.

 

One of my favorites for sure

 

Who’s up?

 

oh shit I completely forgot

OSHIIIIIIIT

Had a little following on AP.net but that’s about it. Criminally underrated.

 

I remember liking that record a lot years ago wonder how I'll like it now

 

I’ve made it through a few songs so that’s gotta be a positive

 

I don’t remember this band at all but this is nice. An easy listen. Kind of sounds like a more indie Cute is What We Aim For. Dig the cello

 

I don’t hate it

which is more than I can say for some others chosen thus far

 

and yeah the cello is nice

 

Pillars is probably my favorite song so far

 

This is the 2nd of 3 Pompeii albums. All are great. The 3rd one is the least accesible; a little more ethereal and slower paced but has some epic crescendos.

The singer is currently still making music under the name Early Internet; it’s good, but the cello is gone and replaced by synths. Hasn’t grabbed me like any of the Pompeii stuff.

 

Loved that record in high school and college. They have a very earnest sound. It’s like Death Cab blended with aspects of Moving Mountains, and I think fans of early Copeland and Mae would dig it as well. Been a few years since I last played it so I’ll be happy to return to it this week.

Love their third one even more though — that one has an Appleseed Cast vibe and experiments with song structures and atmosphere more.

I haven’t checked out Early Internet. Will check that out this week as well.

 

album gets more and more interesting as it goes along imo. some solid hooks throughout. not really something I’d ever seek out on my own but still a pretty solid selection.
