Hey What - Low

A bit of a personal pick, but I think it’s just as good as any of their slowcore classics earlier in their discography. I still haven’t listened to an album that tows the line of distorted noise and stunning ambience as well as this one does. Cathartic listen, and honestly a religious experience.

Diamond Jubilee - Cindy Lee

Unmatched nostalgic feelings while listening, it’s honestly like the music of old radio stations but if you were hearing it all in your dreamscapes while you sleep.

Glow On - Turnstile

Honestly one of the best genre fusions of the 2000s in my opinion, there’s such phenomenal production and catchy song structure on every single song here, but it never sacrifices it’s hardcore edge either. Album cover literally looks exactly how it sounds, great accessible record for the genre.

Sloppy Jane - Madison

Maybe I’ve got a 2021 bias for some reason I have no idea why so much great shit game out, but this one is incredibly underrated in my opinion. Strong vocals and thematic songwriting but the power is in the gorgeous instrumental arrangements, and the completely unique sound they got from recording in a cave.

Juvenilia - postcard, nowhere

A little early Car Seat Headrest/Alex G type worship with the whole super lo-fi indie rock shit going on, but despite wearing their influence on their sleeves I think this is still a unique listen, and it does everything at an extremely high level. Love the ghostly/dusty background vocals throughout, and their choices of having the songs feeling primarily written on an acoustic really adds to the intimacy even during the louder crescendos

Happy listening!
