"Don't be a c**t. I think it encompasses so many things."
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
FANDCAMP: There's Always Glimmer
“Recommended on a whim; I recommend this with an utmost certainty that this is an album for all ears and listens on end.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ FAVOURS
"Get some hobbies outside of the black mirror of social media, pick up something physical, real and dig your hands and heart into it. It's good for the soul. Might also make you live longer."
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ WESLEY JENSEN
"It doesn’t even really matter where you go, just getting out there is good. See stuff. Experience different cultures. Try to have conversations with people who don’t speak your language. It’s fun and eye opening and less boring than if you didn’t do it."
FANDCAMP: ZION
“this record is full of life and sweltering arrangements and i can personally attest that it brought me closer to god”
FANDCAMP: "CHARADES"
“Sounds identical to The Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses," in the best possible way. These guys were doing worship of the body way before Bon Iver with "Heavenly Father" and Hozier with "Take Me to Church." The lyrics envelop you completely. They're cold and heartbroken, but hint at a familiar yearning for hope.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ EMILIE MOVER
"I highly recommend getting a record player. And a dog. And then listening to a record with your dog."
Mix Tape Radio: Episode 053
EPISODE 53 kicks off with some loveliness from YouYourself&I, and before it closes out with some Wearlyland, you'll hear stuff from Courtney Barnett, Modest Mouse, Flaming Lips and Justin Townes Earle singing about single mothers & absent fathers while his dad sings about not being anybody's daddy now.
FANDCAMP: Acetone
“Want to hear the only bad song by Vundabar?That sucks, quite literally there are none.”
HI54LO5: Number Of The Beast
PRO: I can finally wear my genuinely vintage (ie. found in a charity store & not American Outfitters) Iron Maiden shirt without the fear of someone asking, “Have you even listened to an Iron Maiden album?”. CON: In the middle of listening I think I might have joined a LARP club.
Fandcamp: captain
“hard to choose a fav song from this album let alone an album from this band”
Fandcamp: In the Shadows (Again)
“In The Shadows reminded me of the first time I heard Sturgill Simpson’s album ‘Metamodern Sounds in Country Music’ which ended up being my album of the year in 2014. This has elements of psych, punk, and classic country with its sweeping reverb and spit shined steel guitar. Think along the lines of Marty Stuart meets Lucero for an idea of what to expect. The entire discography of this TX punk is gold.”
