An album that will change 0 peoples minds on Zach Bryan. Some great songs but absolutely a tad too long. American Nights is one of his absolute best songs, the John Moreland song is great too. If he ever takes time off and comes back with a heaters only album it's gonna be nuts. This is basically where I'm at. That Moreland song is better than anything on his own album he put out this year. |

strugill album sounds exactly like the Sturgill album that woulda came out in 2018, which makes the whole rebrand a bit funny, but its a great one after two listens.
Megan Moroney album is great too. if I wasn't likely dead by the time it was happening I'd be trying to get into that house of blues after show

 Debut by Font is pretty good as everyone is saying. Little more !!! than LCD. New Cigarettes After Sex is exactly what you expect it to sound like, so it's fine |

His mainstream appeal remains baffling to me. |

I don't think he is a great melodist but is pretty good at everything else except QC. idk. maybe this is the 2020s version of the stomp clap shit we dealt with ten years ago. definitely an improvement. 28 is an Isbell song. |

I think his whole approach is kind of smart, really. He drops these references to better lyricists with a wink but it's pretty bold, like damn are you really going to have an opening line about a screen door and a porch on a record you have Bruce guesting on? And then throw in some harmonica for good measure?
It's the song structure for me though, I find they rarely coalesce into anything compelling and just sort of chug through and then there's another one that sounds pretty much the same.

Five year anniversary of this masterwork. I think this is as good as anything Silver Jews did aside from American Water and I also think it may be better than American Water. |

 The Fork hit this with a review today and I've been spinning it for the last couple weeks, so I figured I'd throw a quick rec out for it. Invigorating, bracing, occasionally soaring collaboration between a Congolese singer and French DJ. Largely electronic, but feels more punk than dance. Sometimes feels like if last year's Young Fathers record was blended up and spat out in the Blade Runner universe. I love it - check it out. |

 This continues to get better and better. It's fun to see a crop of bands emerging who take clear influence from the peak Car Seat Headrest years. Makes me really hope for a rebound from Will & Co. Really need to catch Friko next time they're in NYC (and not opening for some Australian band I've never heard of) |

Man, I never expected Los Campesinos to come back that strong in 2024.

Agreed on that one, too. I haven’t listened to Drogas, but everything else he’s done since Lasers has been great.

 Another win from Jake Xerxes Fussell, perhaps the most consistently great folksinger of the last decade. Near all of these are genuine folksongs - rescued from centuries-old nursery rhymes, sheet music, or field recordings (the opening track's reference to Andy Warhol threw me off, but apparently it's a track from outsider artist / bodybuilding cowboy Maestro Gaxiola). JXF reliably opens up their contours into new, magical worlds. He sings and interprets with more warmth than maybe any singer I've ever heard. Idk if it's his best, as P4k claims, but it's a damn close second to 2019's Out of Sight to my ears. |

The last and only time I saw LC! was at the Metro in 2017/18 and it was crammed and I was miserable with a cold. Sorry if I got any of y’all sick that night!

Adding to the chorus of "yeah this Los Campesinos! album is really good". Haven't seen them so guess I gotta prioritize that next time they come around. I also listened to the Mannequin Pussy record again which I can confirm still rips

 Still a massive record. Both cool and distressing that this one hits as hard at 28 as it did at 18, given... ya know... *gestures broadly at the world in general* |
