Day 356: Horse Jumper of Love by Horse Jumper of Love

After 6 days, I decided to stop #NoPorn2.0 because I'm going to have my own room very shortly. Seemed like decent enough justification, I'll start again when I go back to school.

In the search for the best of 2016 (yeah I'm definitely not quitting once I reach my long-belated goal), it's actually somewhat surprising and even embarrassing I haven't listened to this one yet considering the fact I almost went but unfortunately failed to see these guys live on at least three separate occasions despite being too goddamn lazy to listen to any of their songs. Word of mouth is a powerful thing.

Very laidback album, doesn't sound derivative, performances are confident and this thing is just about the perfect length at 26 minutes to not get boring. This isn't one I'm gonna pull out often though, as a matter of fact I'm more excited to think about where they could go in the future than to listen to this one again. With the exception of highlight Bagel Breath these guys are just too content with maintaining a single image.

I'll be fair and say pretty much every local bands I know didn't have the strongest of debuts anyways.

Best Track: Bagel Breath
Rating: 6/10
