MINI_REVIEW(s):
The review template of choice for the TL;DR Tribeā¦
āNEVER ENDING SPACEā (@_a_l_t_e_r_) is the latest LP from @chainofflowersband & it finds the London by way of Cardiff based outfit āreunited & rejuvenatedā across 10 tracks that combine brooding post_punkisms w/ new_waving sheen while packing plenty of brassy textures, chiming six-strings, & muscled low-ends as witnessed on the (early) U2 meets The Cure meets Blitz vibing of āOld Human Materialā
āHAPPENS ALL THE TIMEā (@candlepin_records) is the latest LP from @glia_music & it finds the group solidifying their āHouston SlackerGazeā brand across an 11-track spread that dutifully incorporates all kinds of buzz_binning appeal thru a sheer force of head lowering haze, swirled psychedelia & melancholic moodinessā¦ & a whole lotta MBV levels of pedal_assisted dissonance as evidenced on album highlight āTurnā
āIT CANāT RAIN ALL THE TIMEā (@rainy_day_music) is the latest EP from @s.green_rdm & it finds the Philadelphia-based project turning its attention towards the halcyon days of the 90s across 5 tracks that suitably combine elements of gothād-out Emo, buzzed electronica & Nu_gazing heaviness under one blown-out & dream_popping umbrealla which is on full display throughout āSometimes I Disappearā
āOF GOOD FORTUNEā (@candlepin_records) is the latest LP from @wiring____ & it finds vocalist/guitarist Connor Gibsonās project (rounded out here by a whole slew of friends) bringing all kinds of nostalgia-laced, emotionally earnest & Midwest 90s vibing across an aesthetically apt 8-track spread thatās chockful of CollegeRawk jangle, angular skramzād Emo & slow_coring IndieRawk as heard on āHeās Withoutā
