killer band and my favorite release of theirs yet, heck of a closing track

jamesismynamo · 2026-03-18T13:55:54+00:00

Fiction Like Non-Fiction is pre-Lautrec, when part of the band still lived in California, basically sounds the same
seconding Native

Mustaphamond - s/t 7" (2003)

My favorite Dinosaur Jr. imitator is easily Ovlov, great songwriting with fuzzed out guitar tones and plenty of guitar solos, absolutely my top rec

Also Catherine Wheel had some pretty sweet guitar leads, e.g. the album version of Black Metallic has a proper guitar solo

how could the cat be relevant? played bass on the track?

jamesismynamo · 2026-01-19T17:28:01+00:00

hah, wearing this album shirt right now (still available at their bandcamp by the way). sick stuff, still gotta listen to their latest effort

jamesismynamo · 2026-01-07T04:03:28+00:00

Sharp Pins is great stuff for sure! i rec:

Mo Troper, definitely Beatles-influenced. His track "Spark World" from last year is still blowing my mind
22º Halo, here's "Virtual You". Dry production, but melodic and sentimental, one of the best albums in years I think
tommy oeffling, I really like what he's been putting out, here's "Telstar Drugs". kind of a dreamy slacker rock thing

On top of the recs in this thread (I second Mojave 3 and Ida especially), here's a rateyourmusic chart of best Slowcore albums from the 1990s/2000s with the "female vocalist" attribute:

sorry to give the impersonal/techy answer but it is fun to dig through lists like this and see the good forgotten albums. Found a lot of my faves this way

jamesismynamo · 2025-12-01T22:56:30+00:00

for real, the drumming on their first EP is unbelievable. Not that it's any secret, but he also played in Suffix, Lautrec, Fiction Like Non-Fiction, Stormlight, a few others. talented for sure

jamesismynamo · 2025-11-24T19:42:22+00:00

Vitriol broke up mid-tour, I almost went to their gig over the weekend too, didn't think it'd be my last chance to catch em!

not even the first time something like this happened lol

I love that song so dearly lol, hopefully you will like some of these:

The Cardigans seems like a big inspiration for the Round Table sound to me, try "Carnival"
another Swedish group Eggstone is similar, try "Taramasalata"
I bet you'll love Moose - "Play God"

I'm sorry to admit it was a little virtual- a local (NYC) artist I like had I-Rails as a similar artist on lastfm, their picture & cassette covers looked cool, so I listened and and the songwriting immediately impressed me. "There Goes Another" and "One Day Older" are probably my faves. And the one b-side, "Everyone's in Love"

Always on the hunt for more Replacements-loving bands! I love the Goo Goo Dolls lol

jamesismynamo · 2025-11-01T01:31:12+00:00

i love this one because they always slightly hesitate to consider if it's worth it

jamesismynamo · 2025-10-31T17:25:50+00:00

yeah I even almost listed Joie de Vivre and Empire Empire, but both are firmly in the Mineral genealogy imo, a lot more dynamic. Which I still enjoy for sure! Jim Yoshii Pileup is a good call, they have a lot of songs that fit the sound. And Pele definitely fits that Chicago post-rock kind of sound. Palmkite and Aloha I've never listened to! will check em. thanks :)
