can't go wrong Light Up Gold and Sunbathing Animal.
Their new one is really great. Reminds me quite a bit of early Blur at times.
i don't know enough early Blur to compare, but the new PC is quite enjoyable.

I listened to this album Projector by Geese and thought it sounded pretty good. I enjoyed the wild tempo changes happening to really keep my attention and it seemed to work well. Certainly they sound much more developed than I would expect from a young band releasing their first album.
Also listened to the War on Drugs album and enjoyed that too. I guess I lied when I pledged to only listen to My Morning Jacket for the next month. Also I rarely really listen to new things so consider that progress.

yes...these guys were a band to watch on Stereogum recently. I think the track they'd featured was Disco. I liked it a lot. I'll have to check the full album out.

This Parquet Courts album is indeed solid. I'm a big fan of the track 'Plant Life', which sounds like a Young Marble Giants/Byrne collab.
Will definitely give it a few more spins.

I just think this album is perfect for the medium.
It’s actually kind of interesting to me - this band. Don’t forget that I’m a Minnesotan. So, both low and trampled by turtles are out of the Duluth area. Why are both bands so ….different.

I'd give Low a 9/10 from an instrumental/production aspect, but the vocals sit at around a 3 for me. Not very interesting melodies to be putting over these otherwise deep and textured tracks.
I'll keep trying, but damn.
