as equally bored as you were with Alex G or more?

i listened to a few songs from that new Alex G and it was alright.

I finished the new Alvvays and im a sucker for those type of bands, but also the last half got me kinda bored too. I need more listens.

I feel like I'm a sucker for Alvvays-esque bands (twee) as well, and I'm in the camp where I think the previous albums are better than Blue Rev. It's still good though.

yeah, i want to listen to those.

What other bands do you like with that sound?

The Aisler's Set is one, and this one band I found on bandcamp, tin-ear, are pretty good.

Antisocialites was very good but I think they really stepped up their game with Blue Rev in terms of songwriting and arrangements. I love all the ear candy and the teenage yearning of it all. Great summertime album, immaculate vibes

I used to love this band called Pity Sex, they were similar but a lot grungier and more shoegazey. Not as synthy. They were very good, no clue what happened to them

Samesies. I'm happy for those who get it, though.

Alex G puts enough of a spin on the singer-songwriter formula to avoid the boring tag IMO. I'm surprised you don't dig him, Trag.

Also, you dildos are still sleeping on black midi.

So much music

Too damn much.

What the hell does everyone see in black country, new road?

Voice is too serious n is boring me to tears

probably forgot a few but these are my faves of 2022
