fuck

Maybe my favorite emo-ish thing so far this year is the new album by Brightr, which I think is definitely emo despite mostly being just singing and an acoustic guitar.

whoops sorry

I am sick that a festival like that would never exist in the UK.

Really enjoying the Brightr album. It is so wide-eyed and summery. No weak tracks either - all completely infectiously upbeat.

I know nothing about Creeper at all, but I quite like this EP. Pitches somewhere between MCR and The Academy Is...

The new Modern Baseball is shaping up to be lovely too.

Trapped between this thread and the metal one, but the new Fall of Try album (which they've offered as a free download) rips. And the long break has made their vocalist 25% less grating.

Playlist updated for April.

the Basement record referenced at top of thread pretty much rules, afaic

I mean, they are the Yuck of 2016, but that is OK w/ me.

A friend of mine loves that record and pitched it to me sounding a lot like early Jimmy Eat World, but I don't hear it. Unless "early-Jimmy Eat World" is just code for 90s emo, and even as early as Static Prevails, Jimmy already sounded more ornate than most of those bands.

I should probably listen to Jimmy Eat World at some point. I only know The Middle and Lucky Denver Mint.

clarity, bleed american, and futures are basically ur-texts for almost anything that appears in this thread

also, simon: this fall of troy record is SICK

yeah there are a couple songs I don't care for but guitar wankery is rarely this FUN

i finally got around to the brightr album and i really like it!

Yeah, the Brightr album has remained a very nice listen for me. And it turns out the guy is from my hometown! I messaged him and he was very nice. There's a gig coming up this month that I'll likely go and see.

Looking forward to that FoT album though I only ever listened to the first really. I was always amazed that someone could sing and play guitar along such detached lines..

the new Pup is streaming at NPR and I have to say the prospect of them + Jeff Rosenstock at an all-ages show later this week has me pretty fucking stoked

i don't like pup at all musically but live they are incredible

oh also Speedy Ortiz/Hop Along tonight and Hotelier tomorrow!

Hotelier were great - felt lucky to catch them at this stage - but their openers. Loone and Todd Slant, were almost as good.

new thrice album is wild

new tiny moving parts album is easily their best

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZkp6K-PxGQ

hey i've never heard of this band before! their album is out the 10th? it sounds pretty great http://www.halfcloth.com/premiere-deer-leap-go-big-go-home/

So many big releases recently! Hotelier/Tiny Moving Parts/Pup/Into It. Over It...all excellent.

I tried the Thrice album, but haven't been able to get behind them since Vheissu. I much prefer when the emphasis is post-hardcore.

Not sure if this is really the right place for this, but The World is a Beautiful Place... released a great two-track single ('Long Live Happy Birthday') that's much darker than their previous album. 'Katamari Duquette' is like a condensed Silver Mt Zion song.

boys night out are putting out a new ep! this song sounds really good http://exclaim.ca/music/article/boys_night_out-obsequiarch

anyone in this thread who hasn't heard trainwreck i really recommend it

this album by posture & the grizzly (ugh what an awful band name), i am satan (ugh what a great album name) is pretty good! https://brokenworldmedia.bandcamp.com/album/i-am-satan

but honestly the best straight up emo/twinkle (ugh) (still) record i've heard so far this year is look mexico's uniola. out june 24th!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-1JnaT6G9w

^^^ check out that record imo

also there's a new taking back sunday album out in september! i feel weird posting the new song bc it is not remotely emo or pop-punk really

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_csSRZdo34g

i love it though, duh

just heard new blink album. it's... ok. the best parts are the parts that remind me of the older albums i like. kinda feeling like this is the year of disappointing warped tour band retreads and now i'm scared for new brand new :(

new useless id album out today too

Haven't really been blown away by anything yet this year, the Hotelier album was nice?

the new johnny foreigner is great, among their best. i never know if they really fit in this thread but

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmWZwOn2v04

^ This is so cute, I like it a lot.

I couldn't make it through the new Blink, but I'm still holding out hopes of Brand New being decent based on the strength of the single.

I'm starting my half year music audit tonight so I might scrape together a little EOTY playlist so it doesn't all get lost.

also I agree that the new blink is...fine

I had forgotten about the new Somos album, which is really quite nice. They're evidently huge Braid fans.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtNAI6YEq_I

the new boys night out ep is amazing http://www.altpress.com/features/entry/boys_night_out_premiere_powerful_comeback_ep_black_dogs_exclusive

^ Still need to listen to this.

Aaaah the new TTNG (formerly This Town Needs Guns...can see why that was changed...) is great! Lovely math-y emo. Is this what twinkle is? Anyway, it's amazing.

yeah! I still need to listen to that record

the last ttng record was unfortunately kinda the perfect example of "this is impressive, but the songs aren't really there." i still liked it and i'm looking forward to the new one

I'd never heard them before, but I'm so impressed. They're kind of like an understated Youthmovies, but more midwest. (But from Oxford). Bliss Quest and Destroy the Tabernacle! are standouts for me from the album.

Playlist is updated with about an hour of music.

Your playlists make my working life about 80% happier. Whilst the challenge of back-listening to 2015 became insurmountable for me, I've listened to almost everything on the new ones all year. Thank you for this great work!

thanks, it's appreciated. I'm still working '15 with some glee.

hoo boy this is pretty great. circa survive/mars volta vibes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgVPX3AS0Ok

so much circa survive vibes

Thanks for mentioning this band, tangent. This is a fun video.

oh my god that is adorable

i can't believe i am forced to break my lengthy hiatus to be the first to mention the mighty Doe on this thread

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k906IGbSaFk

https://specialistsubject.bandcamp.com/album/first-four
https://specialistsubject.bandcamp.com/album/some-things-last-longer-than-you

Lol aaww that Martha video is too much!

Somehow completely missed Basement when I was mentioning albums yesterday despite having saved about five songs from it. It's really strong.

Been meaning to listen to Doe - thanks for the reminder!

guess who scored incredibly surprisingly well at the singles jukebox http://www.thesinglesjukebox.com/?p=22687

I love that song. This has been my most-played album the last two weeks.

That line “I know you wish for fireworks to light your July skies" has been hovering in my head too.

ayyyyee, this is one of thee indispensable threads on ILM, someone start 2017...

hotelier were fantastic live btw - even better than on the albums.

thursday of course was amazing.
