^ 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.

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.

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!

If you took the 5 or 6 best songs from this year's and last year's Dear Hunter albums you'd have a fine proggy pop-emo album, alas restraint and concision are categorically not This Guy's Thing. Anyway, the new one has a better hit:miss ratio than last year's due to having fewer corny vaudevillian story-advancing numbers
