This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in EVENS
“Maybe I'm a sucker for "_grove" bands, but this is great. Everything is well composed. However, the vocals are absolutely stunning with the instrumentation. Hard to imagine a better match.”
“It’s a great resource for anyone who wants to understand more about how movies are actually made and/or just get better at watching them.”
“In the spirit of my last answer I will say carve out a creative space that is just for you. It’s not in the hopes of turning it into a job, it’s not a portfolio, it’s not geared towards getting hearts or shares online. It’s something that you personally find enjoyable, and you do it once a week or once a month or once a year”
More beautiful & way less weird than I went in expecting, mostly due to me being sceptical of people using the term "genius" & “before its time" & a little bit just not trusting people in general. Unrelated: I kept finding myself thinking “I bet José González really loves this record.”
“Talk to strangers...or at least eschew the bubble a bit more than you feel comfortable with. If you don’t then you may make yourself blind or ill.”
“I'm Qualified To Satisfy You"—with its perfect combination of confidence and practicalness—is probably the best chat-up line ever. That Barry does not beat around the bush, even though that's exactly what he wants to do (if you catch my drift).
“This album is the bastard love child of an Iron Maiden and Barry White album—left abandoned in a wicker basket outside a notoriously dangerous pub at the end of the darkest road in some middle of nowhere village.”
EPISODE 080 kicks off with a banger from Carey, and before things close out with an aged-finer-than-wine gem from Yo La Tengo, you'll hear Sarah Jaffe, Psychic Ills, Aidan Knight, and a bunch more goodness.
“Nice Legs are a mix of several related indie-pop genres. Dream pop. c86. experimental. Bedroom pop. They pick up the best of all those and do something new with them. Very good."
“Phenomenally talented songwriter with a great big sound. Expecting big big things to come. Definitely one to catch live, if ever possible.”
