I really need to spend more time with I'm Glad It's You. I liked it, but never really came back to it.

 

its not my fav record ever, but the Floral Tattoo album stayed with me all 2020 which is wild considering it came out last January

 

I also love the I’m Glad It’s You album. Empty Country is fantastic as well

 

I don't remember if I posted my year end list here or not, but Hannah by Lomelda was easily my favorite emo record of the year. It kept fucking me up more and more on repeated listens.

 

this is cool - very 90s

 

this guys super prolific and has a new album coming out in march, and this is the last single. sorta reminds me of car seat headrest meets turnover meets some other big indie band. its pretty cool

 

Dunno how many had it on their list but I felt from last year the Retirement Party record was pretty underrated. It was a step up from their debut which I also enjoyed.

 

Wow yeah it is. Sounds exactly like The Get Up Kids

 

yeah that vocalist sounds like French Matt Pryor and I'm here for it

 

this is nice singer songwriter type stuff. ffo I saw was Elliott smith, microphones, sufjan, and duster. and sure, close enough

 

This made me think of Viagra Boys

 

tooootally does

 

Old band from MI that's no longer active, RIYL Minus the Bear, Colour Revolt, Margot & the Nuclear So & So's, Spoon

 

For this thread, my 2020 list is Addy - Eclipse, Same - Plastic Western, and the record below which i think suffered from being released too early. Didn't seem to get too many mentions in publications that i read.

 

lol this album is sooo old. totally forgot about this band.

 

Did anyone pitch Snarls in here last year? If so I missed, but definitely picked it up from the Chorus EOTY List thread.

 

I have to do this annual detective-level search for them, and absofacto, because I'll recall a song I want to hear but never saved anywhere. It happens in early fall without fail.

 

if you like bands like charmer, hot mulligan, origami angel, etc, you'll probably dig this

 

sounds like my kinda RIYL

 

There isn't an indie rock/folk thread on here but this is pretty great. I literally just discovered them through watching a livestream. FFO: Phoebe Bridgers, Tomberlin, folky stuff
