Day 980: Sometimes, Forever by Soccer Mommy

When I've revisited her last 2 albums, I found them to be blander than I initially perceived. Yet whenever I go back to her lo-fi debut EP, I still love the aesthetic there.

This album, however, I can tell, or at least I HOPE, I won't grow to find more mediocre over time, because this is her lushest, dreamiest album yet, with a fuller sound than ever before but in a way that feels inspired, rather than just "generic singer-songwriter indie rock". I don't want to give too much credit to Oneohtrix Point Never here because I don't know how much he truly contributed but man the production here is truly on point. There were highs and lows because there are always highs and lows but consistent engagement is something I was definitely not expecting from a Soccer Mommy album and that's what I got. Genuinely very impressed by this.

I still want to hear more stories about how she's purportedly an asshole though simply because I've heard rumors about that shit so many times but NEVER with stories to back them up.

Best Track: Shotgun

Day 981: Forget Your Own Face by Black Dresses

Music like this really makes me want to embrace the "Millennial" generational tag because I KNOW I would fuck with this live heavy but recorded it's just grating.

I think this is their shortest album yet, and somehow it's still way too fucking samey.

Best Track: doomspiral, partly for being a tonal respite and partly because it feels more traditionally danceable

Day 982: Visiting Narcissa by Patricia Taxxon

None of these tracks had to be as long as they were. Neither the 4-5 minutes one nor the 30 minute ones.

Okay, that's exaggeration on multiple different levels but goddamnit I feel like this could've been a great album if it was cut down at least 35 minutes, maybe even more. At movie length this was a goddamn chore, even with a few bright spots and a TON of good ideas.

We have perms for this artist? Do we have songs in game? This doesn't seem like good arrow smash music.

Best Track: Her Garage

Day 984: the new black midi

I don't need to say much about this album, but I'll say I enjoyed the first half of this album more than anything else I've heard from this band, it still felt a little too "art school" for me but it had the best guitar work they've ever done.

Then the second half was some weird free jazz bullshit. Oh well.

Oh ho ho it's been a while hasn't it? Wanna know why I've been on hiatus for so long? The answer may shock you...

Depression laziness. Okay I guess that wasn't shocking after all. But I'll be sure to make my return as anti-climactic as is appropriate. It's my birthday. This album fucking bangs, I need to experience this live.

Day 987: Honestly, Nevermind by Drake

Honestly, I hate this less than I hate all other music I've heard from this pedophile. Most of this is just incredibly bland, lifeless rave music with his usual shitty lyrics on top, but it's at least better than his usual shitty backdrops with his usual shitty lyrics on top.

He is still a pedophile though.

Best Track: the ones where he talks about sleeping with adult women

Day 988: Null by Ken Mode

Loved has steadily shot up amongst my internal ranking of albums from last decade over the course of the pandemic. The mood, the riffs and the subtle sense of humor make for an absolutely killer album that fits both my darkest emotional turmoils and my energetic upbeat days. Along with that, their 2015 show I saw might still be the best metal show I've ever seen, although Boris recently gave them a run for their money. I'm super hyped to be seeing both them and Palm later this fall, both being bands I found out about because they were on the same concert lineup during my senior year of high school as my hometown favorite Pile where they managed to steal the title of "best setlist of the night".

While I have enjoyed what I've heard of their earlier albums, they don't really scratch the same itch that Loved does, and I wouldn't say this album does either. Instead for me it scratches an entirely different itch, this harkens back to Success not in atmosphere or songwriting, but in how experimental and frequently non-metal it feels. At least a third of this album by runtime feels more like industrial or no wave than sludge metal, and Not My Fault might be the closest thing to a crowdpleasing riff rocker I've ever heard these guys do.

Whereas previous albums would be easiest to compare to something like Unsane, the band that comes to mind to compare here is Daughters. I never, ever understood Daughters and to this day I still think You Won't Get What You Want is one of the most overrated albums of the past 10 years amongst music nerds, fuckin melon. And this is without considering the Lingua Ignota shit! Anyways, while there is a lingering similarity between that album and this one, where this album succeeds for me is how much less theatrical it feels like it's attempting to be, instead feeling like the aggression on display is a true release of internal darkness (but not without some much needed self-awareness). And also the vocal performances are way more engaging here. And also the songwriting is more interesting across the board. And also the vocalist isn't a rapist.

Overall, I don't think this album is quite as strong as Loved but it's damn close, and where this album wins is on sheer variety and experimentation. After a 4 year break, these guys are still on a hot streak.

Best Track: A Love Letter

If you think you'd like the idea of deathgaze (death metal meets showgaze), give Kardashev's The Almanac a go.

If that sounds terrible to you, shame, and don't worry about it.

Day 991: Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam by The Comet Is Coming

I enjoyed this, but it's not as emotionally engaging, as catchy or as explosive in climaxes as Trust in the Lifeforce of the Deep Mystery. In parts it's super inspired, in other parts it's kinda just going through the motions. Still a good album, but I had higher expectations.

Now how do these guys exactly tie into all that windmill scene stuff? Because this sounds nothing like Black Country, Mid Road or Black Mid-i or Squid (I'm avoiding the obvious rhyme here)

Day 992: Blue Rev by Alvvays

Once again, I'm unsure if I made this album seem better to myself by having such low expectations or if this album is legitimately quite good after a couple of listens through. I've never disliked this band and always thought they played to their image and audience quite well, but they were never anything super unique and the very same-y mood and tone they had across what seemed like all of their cuts meant I never wanted to listen to more than a few tracks of them within a playlist tops.

This album still has that same general twee mood, but there's a slight bit more variance of tone here, perhaps the smallest bit less reliance on surfy reverb, and what's more? These are actually mostly very catchy, well-written pop tunes. The immediate comparison I would make for another release this year was the mid Beach House album, that was oppressively repetitive and the songwriting felt like an afterthought to the atmosphere, which might work for some things but for indie pop definitely just makes things drag. This album is admittedly less than half as long, but almost every song packs a punch and it never feels like these guys are trying to eschew WRITING SONGS in favor of atmosphere or dreaminess or indie white girl cred or whatever.

Is this amazing? No. Is this the biggest shocker of the year? No, that still has to go to Soccer Mommy for me. Is this a solid album? Yes, very yes.

Best Track: Charles Mingus' nutsack
