[Ms Harmless]

Age of Pleasure is very clearly Janelle Monáe's worst album but that's really a testament to how good everything else is, because it's still extremely enjoyable. It's obviously a groovy, sensuous summer album, and her singing is better than ever even if the songwriting itself seems to take a backseat to the vibe.

that's very much my take

it's a bit overtly sexual for my tastes, but I support its unabashedly queer and polyamorous existence

on second thought, I need to relisten to Dirty Computer because this may be better

Electric Lady is still their masterpiece imo

[Jorge]

Dirty Computer is more multicolor and song-minded, which suits me

- Jenny Lewis' "Joy'All" is cherry, so much that I just got the vinyl in the mail.
- Whatever QOTSA was coming up with I knew I was gonna like, but damn this new one is awesome.

Honorable mention:
Olivia Jean's "Raving Ghost" was fun, everyone should at least sample her take on Enya's "Orinico Flow"

Heard this on the local college station today, gonna check out the rest of the album asap

This had me listening to way too much Enya today

[Ello Sailor]

Hell yeah. Enya rules.

I hardly ever listen to Orinoco Flow, though.

LOL! Bless your heart.

Second single from the new Osees record is out and up on Youtube.

Man, not at all what I was expecting based on that one song. Much more rock, discordant guitar chords, quite heavy at times. I dig it but I also kind of want a whole country album like that one song.

Give Lenderman's solo album from last year a go. It's probably what you're after.

Hangover Game and Tastes Just Like It Costs were two of the best songs of 2022.

trag, Boat Songs is great. The whole thing varies from sounding like Songs Ohia to Sparklehorse. It’s definitely more of what you’re looking for.

Same, zeb.
