Stories Untold - Can't Go Home

 

I don't think it's getting overlooked in hardcore, at least. I had two different, totally organic conversations about the album with friends when the stream went up. Def one of the best records in the genre this year, probably the best.

 

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Nonagon Infinity

Completely forgot about this album until I was looking at my list of albums for the year to find something to listen to today and was surprised there was no thread for it.

 

Kyle Craft - Dolls of Highland
Kevin Morby - Singing Saw
Kacy & Clayton -Strange Country
Preoccupations -s/t
Paul Cauthen - My Gospel
Aaron Lee Tasjan - Silver Tears
Steve Gunn - Eyes on the Lines
Dexateens - Teenage Hallelujah

 

White Lung, for sure. So many people on this site would love it and a lot have probably never even heard of it.

Also the new Warpaint seemed to have come and gone, but that's a damn good record.

 

white lung had quite a bit of hype on here, lots of people were super into it
i used to love it but i haven't listened in months, fell off big for me

 

Honestly I feel like Young The Giant's new album got overlooked! It's by far the best thing they've done and also one of the best albums this year!

 

RIYL? Never heard of them.

 

white lung: female led punk with shredding guitars, though this album is more in a shimmery pop direction but still has the punk influences
warpaint: artsy all woman indie pop with really cool percussion and they groove

 

What @cwhit said.

 

I am the white lung hype machine

 

White Lung album is really cool. The guitars on that record sound massive

 

margaret glaspy, big thief, angel olsen

 

St. Lucia, Wet, Lissie, Corinne Bailey Rae, Flume, Band of Horses, Sara Watkins, Shura, Young The Giant, Kishi Bashi, and Regina Spektor all put out solid records that I didn't see get much love overall

 

young the giant was great, mr. know it all and titus was born are two of the best songs to come out this year imo

dope lemon (angus stones new band) put out a great debut record this year that no one seemed to care about

miniature tigers is getting over looked and they once again find a new approach to their sound and have very well thought out production and songwriting

 

Just heard this for the first time and was crazy into it.

@Wharf Rat It's psychedelic and shit, sorta. Are you on it?

 

I'm not. I will be soon

 

This new Waterparks album is pretty great, really good pop-punk/pop-rock. Weird to see that the album doesn't even have a thread on here.

Crazy enough, it dawned on me I hadn't seen much about this album on here after the band mentions absolutepunk in one of the songs.

 

The mention AP? What's the lyric?

 

is the lyric "FUCK JASON TATE"
oh wait wrong band

 

Ice Nine Kills??

 

yes steve good job you got the reference have a cookie

 

YES thank you

 

I wanna be a sellout just to piss y'all off
While absolutepunk's sucking off beard-punk songs
Maybe if we're lucky we'll get a review
And if that goes well, maybe a feature too
