Speedy Ortiz

yeah "my dead girl" is amazing

Mitski is the core, the heart music

get a similar rush from this as from catherine wheel's poppier stuff

what kinda fuckin space-age bass drum micing technology did they cook up to record this thing

pro mitski

hey, that's my favorite One Direction song

this is quite possibly album of the year

you always say that

every year

get some fresh material

say it every year about speedy ortiz?

fine, "this album could end up being my favourite album of 2015, got some cracking indie songs on it m8"

it looks just like your pictures but in 3d

good album!

I was already sold, Major Arcana was one of my favorite records of the past few years, but this is even better, I'm over the moon.

This is a superior quality piece of 90s Matador nostalgia but I'm not sure I'd care if it wasn't for the singer, she tips it away from just being a slavish recreation of a sound. Still, this is the best time of year to listen to this sort of thing, and I'm enjoying it.

Mister Difficult is staggering

This album is stellar, and indeed My Dead Girl is an amazing song. Puffer has some serious Luscious Jackson vibes.

how does she do that ~~~tHiNg~~~ with her voice

I missed the stream apparently now I'm desperately trying to listen to that first song to get the Chavez vibes described upthread...

In Pitchfork interview, as in NY Times one, she talks about listening to rap, r'n'b, and Pavement.

completely leveled by Mister Difficult.

Whiney says this band isn't cool anymore pack it in

i was rinsing 'taylor swift' b/w 'swim fan' before the new release. the words to 'raising the skate' are amazing.

it's about an entrepreneur who starts a successful fish farm right

at the show saturday i was standing next to a group of dudes talking about nytimes music writers by name so maybe whiney was right

anyway imo this is a very special band that is very difficult to write about well

wonder why anyone would listen to whiney anyway

he's so confident

despite the fact that is only skill is dismissal

Dupuis explained (kind of...) a bunch of her songs on genius.com and it's quite interesting, the story behind My Dead Girl adds a whole other layer for me.

how does she do that ~~~tHiNg~~~ with her voice

srsly

o they are lovely live! started off playing the songs maybe 20% slower than on the record but then the weed wore off

they have such chops; they make a muscular racket with such clarity. awesome band

and they man their own merch stand! my gf and I gave Dupuis a note at the end recommending Cardiacs as she's such a Blur fan - hopefully she will give them a try!

man i can't stand this band anymore. the whole hotline thing was so embarrassing, what a cynical push for a floundering album cycle. sadie's got a solo album coming out in november, the lead single is about consent, christ...

wtf dude

this bird has flown

She should start a synth pop supergroup with Kristin Kontrol.

tt has alerted me to Sadie's new album (as Sad13) Slugger - it's great! she's gone predictably in a more electronic direction ('she's been at the Ableton') but the songwriting is really strong, maybe just as strong as on Foil Deer. do give it a listen, even as this year continues to provide album upon album of true wonder

the album by hellrazor (fronted by mike falcone, the drummer) is really great in a "meant to soundtrack skate-wipeout videos" way

love the hellrazor album, it's gross

whoa i was not expecting to like this but

New Speedy Ortiz single! https://www.npr.org/2018/02/21/586560145/songs-we-love-speedy-ortiz-lucky-88 Album out April 27. Sounds like they've toned things down a bit for this one, but I'm still excited.

album stream! https://www.npr.org/2018/04/19/602233938/first-listen-speedy-ortiz-twerp-verse

It's quite good.

(that's all I can say until next week lol)

A bit frontloaded maybe(?) but pretty solid, lots going on sonically

i underrated "lucky 88" when it came out, that song rules

the back half is strongest for me, actually
